Chairman Hawley called the weekly meeting of the Board of Commissioners to order.

USE OF GROUNDS REQUEST BY PERU’S REVIVAL CENTER CHURCH
Michael Trexler appeared before the Board on behalf of Peru’s Revival Center Church to ask permission to use the Court House entrance and lawn for a song service. The service will be held on Friday, August 11, 2006. They will need electricity and will be on site between 6:00 pm and 9:00 pm with the actual services being from 7:00-8:30 PM. Commissioner Deeds moved to allow the church service. The motion was 2nd by Commissioner Boyer and passed 3-0.

INSURANCE COMMITTEE REPORT
The insurance committee reported their findings to the Board and made the recommendation that the County renew our current policy through the end of the year. They also recommend changing the policy renewal date to January. Beth Pond spoke for the group. The Board thanked the committee for their hard work and appreciated the time they gave to this.

MANATRON CONTRACT
The Board received a contract with Manatron for signing. A motion to sign the contract was made by Commissioner Deeds. The motion was 2nd by Commissioner Boyer and passed 3-0.

ID CARDS AND SECURITY ENTRY CARDS
Mike Peconga told the Board that he is set up in the GAR room for taking pictures and processing the employees ID cards. The Board told Mr. Peconga that only Elected Officials and first Deputies were to get the door key cards. All other employees will get regular ID cards. The Board also requested Jason Bowman get key cards to the buildings because he is our contracted maintenance personnel.

UMBAUGH & ASSOCIATES
Todd Samuelson and the Board discussed some of the different financial funding options he has assisted in acquiring. He has just completed Marshall County and they have begun their jail project. After some discussion it was decided that he would return on August 14th at 10:00 am.

ZONING ISSUES
Bill Gornto asked the Board if they know for sure if they have jurisdiction over the zoning in the City’s 2 mile radius. The Board said it seems to be a gray area and suggests that David Grund and K.L. Stanley look at it and make a determination based on their findings.

YMCA GRANT APPLICATION FOR 2007
Dave Quick brought the Board the application for the 2007 grant. Mr. Quick needs permission to at least begin the process by running the legal notice. Commissioner Boyer made the motion to give Mr. Quick the right to run the legal notice. The motion was 2nd by Commissioner Deeds and passed 3-0.

ATTORNEY ISSUES
The Board asked Mr. Grund if he had reviewed the Manatron contract. He had not. The Board would like to act upon that at the next meeting.

The Board would also like the solicitation ordinance by the next meeting.

The Board asked Mr. Grund to add the wearing of name badges during wok hours into our policy. They also want a replacement cost added in case an employee loses their ID badge.

IDEM NOTICE
The Board received an IDEM notice of approval for CountryMark Co Op.
