Any questions? All in favor? All opposed? All right, Sam, okay. Public comment before to committee, Sheriff's response. 00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:15.079 Real quick for this evening, in the hiring process, we have four that have completed the field training program and they are now released to the patrol. 00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:20.200 we have two that have graduated from school and they're in the third week of the FTO program and 00:01:20.200 --> 00:01:28.840 that is it. We're at full staff for the first time in years. You put out the crime suppression 00:01:28.840 --> 00:01:33.959 unit stats. Okay, I did not see those this time. And that's all I have. The only other thing I 00:01:33.959 --> 00:01:38.039 want to bring up is I want to thank Beth Henning from the zoning. I've been working with her and 00:01:38.039 --> 00:01:43.640 the road commissioners about vendor agreements. So when like a company is putting something up, 00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:48.920 for example, solar, they're using trucks on roads and they're beating up the roads. 00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:53.000 What we found out is some of the County Commissioners didn't really know what their 00:01:53.000 --> 00:02:01.799 authority was to get those roads under control and maybe have a permit to allow these vendors to use 00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:06.040 the roads. And then what to do if they do break up the roads. So we are in the beginning processes 00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:10.039 of that. I was able to give them a lot of information. I just did that with their, 00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:15.000 their Commissioner President this morning, Josh. And then the next thing I'm also working on when 00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:20.280 it comes to roads is overweight vehicles. We're finding out overweight vehicles are running amok 00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:25.719 around the county, even when the roads are posted. I believe the latest one that was brought to my 00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:35.719 attention was a $30,000 fine that an overweight vehicle was on a road, a township road. And I'm 00:02:35.719 --> 00:02:47.539 I'm not sure what we're going to do about that one or that's going to be in the court proceedings, but I have, I am sending four people to wait, uh, wait, truck wait school. 00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:49.800 I don't even know what it's called because we've never done it before. 00:02:50.240 --> 00:03:05.079 And then that way, if a road commissioner or a, um, highway department, a county highway, uh, department person finds a vehicle, uh, that they feel is overweight, we can, uh, weigh that and see if there is a problem. 00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:07.080 So we're in the beginning stages of that. 00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:09.280 I've also talked to the Circuit Clerk about fines, 00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:11.800 and then I will be talking to the State's Attorney 00:03:11.800 --> 00:03:13.280 on how we're going to proceed, 00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:15.200 if we do put a lot of time and effort into this, 00:03:15.200 --> 00:03:17.120 how we're going to handle that. 00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:21.040 I will keep you up to date on that, 00:03:21.040 --> 00:03:23.120 as I get more information. 00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:23.960 Any questions? 00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:28.400 With the being fully staffed, how many difficulties are you? 00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:29.240 29. 00:03:29.240 --> 00:03:31.000 Does that look like on the road at a time? 00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:33.080 On the road at a time, there's four per shift. 00:03:33.080 --> 00:03:34.120 We will have four per shift. 00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:37.020 So right now we have, with the two that are in training, 00:03:37.020 --> 00:03:42.020 we have three shifts with four and one shift with three. 00:03:42.460 --> 00:03:44.980 And that was the overall goal is to get that one, 00:03:45.939 --> 00:03:47.939 one more person for each shift. 00:03:50.020 --> 00:03:52.620 Before we go ahead, I need to back up 00:03:52.620 --> 00:03:57.620 to get approval calling whether it's public safety 00:03:57.939 --> 00:04:02.939 getting 151,148 dollars and 96,000 dollars 00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:09.120 6 cents in public property of 56,432.30 cents. 00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:15.280 Motion to approve. 00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:18.040 Moved by Mr. Buster. 00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:18.879 Second. 00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:19.720 Seconded by Ms. Lawfer. 00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:20.959 Any questions? 00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:22.079 All in favor? 00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:22.920 Aye. 00:04:22.920 --> 00:04:23.879 All opposed? 00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:24.699 Aye. 00:04:24.699 --> 00:04:25.540 Savage. 00:04:25.540 --> 00:04:27.160 Okay, now we can move on. 00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:29.139 Emergency management agency. 00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:31.600 Pension for Scott. 00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:48.600 I think we're just aware of the tornado that hit that first off the sheriff and his staff did an excellent job from the beginning of that, certainly in the response phase, but now we're in the public stage, so yesterday we toured with the Small Business Administration. 00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:59.600 They needed 25 major damage dwellings, which we achieved that pretty quickly and so now we're just waiting for paper. 00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:02.600 Do you have any questions? 00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:05.600 Okay. 00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:08.600 Corner. 00:05:10.600 --> 00:05:13.600 For April, we had a total of 43 deaths. 00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:16.600 We responded to nine of those. 00:05:16.600 --> 00:05:19.600 Autopsies were performed in three cases. 00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:21.600 We signed 17 cases. 00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:23.600 The doctor signed was 26. 00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:26.600 42 of those were natural. 00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:28.600 And one suicide was zero pending. 00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:33.080 Pending. And the other thing I have to report is that same storm that went through Lena 00:05:33.080 --> 00:05:39.640 that produced your tornado. Our vehicle also suffered some panel damage of what that storm. 00:05:39.640 --> 00:05:44.240 And I believe that's lumped in under the same claim for the rest of the county vehicles. 00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:49.480 So it's a long deductible that the county's paying for. 00:05:49.480 --> 00:05:59.480 Mr. Bush, can you ask a quick question? 00:05:59.480 --> 00:06:02.480 Oh, it was the individual who committed suicide, do you know? 00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:09.480 Ah, you got it off the top of my head. 00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:11.480 Was that a city or county? I can't remember. 00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:15.480 I don't remember. 00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:21.480 Well, there's no old business, no new business, any comment from committee members? 00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:25.480 Motion to adjourn. 00:06:26.480 --> 00:06:35.480 I have one statement here. So for the vehicles that got damaged, the three that got damaged for the Sheriff's Office were all vehicles that were actually working that night and responding to Lena. 00:06:35.480 --> 00:06:40.480 The rest of those, we have standing order when there's bad weather that they have to get them inside. 00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:46.800 So all of our vehicles, all of our vehicles except for the three that were working were fine. 00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:52.319 And then the other thing with the tornado that I forgot to mention is if there's a declaration, 00:06:52.319 --> 00:06:58.480 I believe there is right now, EMA is working on getting reimbursed for a lot of the 00:06:58.480 --> 00:07:04.560 expense that was created through the tornado. So we have all of our fuel usage and all of 00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:09.360 our overtime has been documented. We'll be submitting that to EMA if we do get that 00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:11.400 and that reimbursement from the state. 00:07:11.400 --> 00:07:13.199 So we're ready to go for that also. 00:07:14.120 --> 00:07:15.520 That's all I have, Mr. Bush. 00:07:17.639 --> 00:07:20.040 I make a motion to adjourn. 00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:21.800 Moved by Ms. Lawford. 00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:22.639 Second. 00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:24.600 Second by Mr. Bousker. 00:07:24.600 --> 00:07:25.420 All in favor? 00:07:25.420 --> 00:07:26.259 Aye. 00:07:26.259 --> 00:07:27.100 All in favor? 00:07:29.100 --> 00:07:31.100 If the person is okay. 00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:33.639 In public.
