Ø Gave approval for Matt Cordonnier, Maumee Valley Planning, to begin paperwork to enter into a contract with Gustwiller Electric for the Ney Generator Project. No bids were received during two normal bidding processes so the State gave approval for an informal bidding process. The only appropriate quote received was from Gustwiller in the amount of $17,800. Funding for this project comes from the FY2001 CDBG Formula Program. Once the contracts are completed, they will be forwarded to the Chief Assistant Prosecuting Attorney’s office for his review and approval and a resolution will be passed approving the contract.
Ø Approved purchase of signs totaling $854.82 for the newly extended parking lot at the fairgrounds. Erecting the signs should alleviate any confusion when entering or exiting the parking area.
David Westrick, Defiance County Sheriff, stopped in briefly to say “Hello”.
Commissioner Nicely noted that it would be August or September before Tim Leisure would have the information about the Ag money regarding the Brunersburg Sewer Project. If the money is not forthcoming, assessments will have to be raised to cover the difference.

Gaylon also told the Commissioners that he and Warren Schlatter toured the KeyBank building last week. He was given keys for the new doors upstairs, the outside door and the downstairs back door. He felt the interior needed to be revised a little to prevent interaction between his employees and the KeyBank employees. Also, it would have to be figured out how to run computer lines (for networking) in the building itself, but also to connect to the County system. Gaylon will have Warren Schlatter speak to Bob Arend to figure out the specifics. Telephone lines will also need to be run. Mr. Davis asked that Jerry Overmier, Beilharz Architects, be contacted to begin plans for the remodeling. Walls, restrooms, etcetera, will need to be modified. Commissioners gave approval for him to contact Mr. Overmier for assistance in the remodeling at a cost not-to-exceed $2,500. Gaylon noted that he has plans of the old building, plus plans of the new addition.
Commissioner Nicely asked about placing an electrical outlet on the pole at the back of the parking lot so extension cords for trimmers could be plugged in. Gaylon will check as another electrical line may need to be run.
Commissioners also discussed the need for guardrail in various areas of the extended parking lot at the fairgrounds. Even knowing that a drainage ditch is in a specific area, Commissioner Kime still found it hard to spot. The Commissioners need guardrail posts and
bolts so guardrail can be erected in
several places. Gaylon will see what he
may have at the Highway Garage. Darrell
Miller suggested that Jerry Yoder on
Lighting the new parking lot area was also discussed. Commissioner Nicely will contact Ned Steele for ideas on lighting as he has a computer program in which a diagram of the parking lot can be displayed and will show how much lighting is needed.
