Change Order #5, submitted for signatures by Geo. Gradel Company for the Joint Defiance/Williams Counties Watershed Management Flood Control Project #95-10, was held until a copy could be sent to the Project Attorney, Jodie Stearns, for her review.
Russ Herman, Defiance County Chief Assistant Prosecuting Attorney, stopped in to provide information concerning the Beagle Club easement. Russ had heard from the Beagle Club attorney and their appraisal has been completed. Their attorney is supposed to call Russ on Friday with figures. Russ thinks that, since their attorney is now becoming a little more accommodating, the appraisal came in lower than the Beagle Club expected. He hopes this may bring on an early settlement. During mediation, Emery Miller, the County’s appraiser, will be available; Dick Altman can be used for the mediation.
The Sheriff, Dave Westrick, also
stopped in at this time (approximately
Commissioners discussed the Haver building issue. It is hoped that the County will find out about the $100,000 funding from the State soon. If that money is received, then the participating counties could pay their share of approximately $33,000, thus lowering the square foot costs and the rent. It was also thought that the parking lot would soon be patched and coated.
Dr. J. T. Raimonde stopped in to complain about unreturned phone calls to Poggemeyer Design Group. He had questions about his assessment (Brunersburg Sewer Project) and apparently no one from PDG called him back. The Commissioners reviewed his assessment amount with him, but his real complaint was with Poggemeyer. The complaint was noted and they will be contacted. Dr. Raimonde also asked about a catch basin near his property that was not working properly. The Engineer’s office will be notified to check it out and repair the basin, if necessary.
Also at this time, “Glen” Richard Sandys also stopped in to question his assessment, also concerning the Brunersburg Sewer Project. He wanted to know how the assessment figure was determined. The Commissioners explained his assessment to him and answered a few other questions. He would like a copy of the sewer policy, which will be mailed to him. He

address should be changed to reflect a Court Street address, not

were 40 people who attended the County’s Sexual Harassment Training held at the
EMA building
4. Diane Mayer, Senior Services Center, has asked permission to use Caregiver funds to provide visiting nurses to give home care. It was asked that a letter from the Area Office on Aging be obtained to confirm the eligibility of using these funds for this purpose.
Becky took Russ Herman, Assistant Prosecuting Attorney, on a tour of the Evergreen Lane Office Complex. The employees were pleased to have the opportunity to be introduced to Russ. Becky felt this was good for the morale of the staff to be “included” in this manner.
Otto asked that Alison check with Gaylon about the status of the parking lot project. They would like to have an update at the Engineer’s scheduled time on Monday.
Tim explained the status of county-owned property not yet returned from Mary Brown.
Tim gave an update on the mowing contracts which were completed and signed.

At
After the Sheriff left, Tim provided a compaction report, completed by Mannik and Smith. The figures are lower than previous reports, but it may be due to the fact that the Al-Jon was not used.
The activities of Eastman and Smith, the Landfill’s legal firm, remain the same. Legislation is being monitored.
The Landfill has had to complete repairs on various pieces of equipment, but the fund line is still within budget.
His office is behind on road collections by one mile per month, but it is within reason.
The next Solid Waste District meeting
is scheduled for Monday, October 21 at
Tim is also in the process of gathering quotes to mow the Newton/Marcellus property (approximately 72 acres). The one quote he has received came in at $14.00 per acre. He is soliciting more quotes.
