A special meeting of the White County Board begun and holden this 12th day of July, 2016 in the Courtroom of the White County Courthouse in the City of Carmi.
Chairman Trout asked for a moment of silence for the slain officers in Dallas Texas.
Chairman Trout called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m.
Clerk Dozier called the roll with Dosher, Ray, Usery, Puckett and Trout.
Chairman Trout asked the Board if they had received copies of the minutes of the previous meeting and were there any additions, changes or deletions. Mr. Ray made a motion to waive the reading of the minutes of the previous meeting and to approve the minutes of the previous meeting as proposed in writing. Motion seconded by Usery. Motion carried 5-0 on roll call.
Chairman Trout asked the Board to consider the payment of all current bills. Mr. Puckett made a motion to pay all current bills, seconded by Usery. Motion carried 5-0 on roll call vote.
Mr. Adam Allen, Interim Director of the Ambulance Service, stated that they had deposited around $36,700.00. He wanted to thank Ken Usery and David Dosher for helping with the reorganization of the ambulance service.
Mr. Doug Maier, White County Sheriff, stated that the City/County jail committee just finished having a meeting and he had submitted his report in writing.
The next 9-1-1 meeting will be held on Monday, July 18th at 6:00 p.m.
Chairman Trout stated that the next item on the agenda is to consider the renewal of the Blue Cross/Blue Shield Insurance renewal. The increase will be 3 per cent. Mr. Usery made a motion to accept the renewal. Motion seconded by Ray. Motion passed 5-0 on roll call vote.
Emling and Hoffman, came before the Board to review the 2015 audit. They stated that the County had very little debt and over $5,000,000.00 in cash. Chairman Trout asked them if most of that was in restricted funds and Dan Hoffman stated that he did not have that information in front of him.
He stated that there was some areas that needed improvement. There were accounts that were not being reconciled in a timely manner. The recommendations for the sheriff’s department is to start depositing funds in a timely manner preferably once a week. Start marking invoices paid with a date and the check number. Start using checks in the correct numerical order and be cautious of how the claims are being coded so that the Clerk’s Office can issue 1099 ‘s correctly. Sheriff Maier stated that most of those items have already been addressed. Mr. Hoffman stated that much improvement is needed at the ambulance service. The billing and recording of income is not being done in a timely manner and is making the audit very difficult. Mr. Ray made a motion to accept and approve the 2015 audit seconded by Usery. Motion carried 5-0 on roll call vote.
Mr. Randy Frashier asked the Board to transfer property to the Village of Maunie. The Board and Clerk Dozier stated that White County is under contract to Joseph Myers and Associates for $450.00 per parcel. Also a recording cost of $48.00 per parcel transferred. They stated that they would gladly work with the County Board but they would much rather see it auctioned at least five or six times before signing it over. Mr. Frashier said that the County should get down and clean up the properties. Clerk Dozier stated that the County as Trustee is protected by statute from cleaning up or responsibilities of any of the properties. However the Village of Maunie is still has the same responsibility to clean up the property and put a lien on it. Clerk Dozier stated that one of the properties Mr. Frashier was asking about the county has $892.00 of actual expense in that property not counting the tax liability. Mr. Dosher said we should like it be auctioned at least one more time and see if it sells and if it does not then we will address Mr. Frashier’s request. Mr. Dosher made a motion to table until the next auction has been completed, seconded by Ray. Motion carried 5-0 on roll call vote.
Chairman Trout asked the Board to approve a list of election judges for a two year term. Mr. Puckett stated that he had a question about a judge Billy Taylor who does not live in Carmi 20. Clerk Dozier explained that Mr. Taylor lives in Carmi 16 and will be serving in Carmi 20. Mr. Dosher made a motion to approve the election judges for a two year term seconded by Puckett. Motion carried 5-0 on roll call vote. The judges are as follows:
