Minutes

The Board of Supervisors of Carroll County, Iowa met in regular adjourned session in the Boardroom of the Courthouse, in Carroll, Iowa, the County seat of said County on Monday, August 6, 2012, at 9:00 a.m. Daylight Saving Time pursuant to law, the rules of said Board and to the adjournment with the following members present: Mark Beardmore, Eugene Meiners, Dan Nieland, Marty Danzer and Neil Bock.

Motion by Bock, second by Nieland to approve the agenda as presented. On roll call, all voted aye. Motion by Meiners, second by Danzer to approve the minutes of the July 23, 2012 meeting as written. On roll call, all voted aye. No board meeting on July 30, 2012.

County Engineer reviewed four utility permits. Motion by Meiners, second by Danzer to approve four utility permits for Raccoon Valley Electric Cooperative for work in Grant, Glidden, Pleasant Valley, and Maple River Townships. On roll call, all voted aye.

County Engineer Dave Paulson discussed new requirements that must be met before entering into an agreement for federal funding assistance from the Iowa DOT. Prior to October 1, 2012, the County must sign the Standard DOT Title VI Assurances document, as well as the Title VI Nondiscrimination Agreement with the Iowa Department of Transportation, if the County plans to receive any federal financial assistance from the DOT. The board will review the information and complete the documents at a future meeting.

Paulson reviewed bids and specs for a compact track loader. There will be no trade-in as the county will continue to use its current machine at the shop. Motion by Nieland, second by Danzer to approve the purchase of a Bobcat T770 with attachments from Haley Implement at a cost of $60,799.24, which was the low bid. On roll call, all voted aye.

Paulson reported on meeting with Burlington Northern Railroad representative regarding railroad crossings in the Dedham area as well as other railroad crossings in the county.

Carl Wilburn, IT director, met with the board to discuss the purchase of an intrusion prevention/web content appliance for the county’s computer system to respond to potential network threats and security issues. Wilburn looked at products from Barrier 1, Fortigate, and Watchguard. Barrier 1 installed a device to demonstrate how it could benefit the county. The device can do load balancing, intrusion prevention, monitor and control bandwidth, web content filtering, and provide antivirus protection. Wilburn presented a 5-year cost comparison, with Barrier 1 being the most cost effective. Motion by Danzer, second by Meiners to approve the purchase of a Barrier 1 appliance with a first year cost of $10,900. On roll call, all voted aye. The quote from Barrier 1 includes total hardware replacement, 24/7 monitoring of the system by the service provider, software maintenance, and vulnerability assessment.

Motion by Danzer, second by Bock to approve a plat of survey for Lot 1 of Outlot E, NE1/4 Section 1-82-34. On roll call, all voted aye.

Motion by Meiners, second by Nieland to approve renewal of a Class “C” Liquor License, Living Quarters and Sunday Sales for Carroll Bowl. On roll call, all voted aye.

Motion by Beardmore, second by Danzer to accept with regrets the resignation of William T. Fish as county ambulance director effective January 15, 2013. On roll call, all voted aye.

Board proceeded to discuss regionalization of mental health services. The county has until April 1, 2013 to formally apply to join a region and until May 1, 2013 to formally apply for an exemption. If a county applies to opt out, the state has 45 days to render a decision. Beardmore said he strongly feels the county should opt out of regionalization. Danzer said he is not ready to make that decision. There will be a regionalization meeting in Denison on August 22nd, and Danzer favors not making a decision until that meeting has been held. Bock also favors standing alone, but said he is still open to joining other counties. The mental health services Carroll County would need to add in order to stand alone are family support, peer support, and health homes. Bock did not feel it would be difficult to add these services. Meiners said he is leaning toward opting out, but is still open to the possibility of joining with other counties. Danzer and Meiners both expressed concerns about what would happen if the state denied the county’s application to opt out. It is unknown if the state would determine which region Carroll County would join, or if the county would be able to choose the region they want to join. Nieland said he is also strongly leaning toward opting out of regionalization. If Carroll County would choose to join with other counties, the general consensus was the fewer counties the better. The entire board is focused on the best interest of the consumers in Carroll County and the future of Carroll County’s mental health financial reserves.

Board reviewed the following manure management annual updates: Twilight Investments LLC, Bladen, in Section 17 of Union Township, Stone Path VI in Section 27 of Kniest Township, and Kraig Boell in Section 15 of Sheridan Township. Board reviewed an original manure management plan for Justin Schroeder in Section 33 of Wheatland Township.

Bock reported on Lappe Bridge, RSVP/Foster Grandparent meetings, Laverne Greving site inspection, and meeting with Mentzer and Beardmore to discuss regionalization.

Danzer reported on meeting with Engineer Dave Paulson and Burlington Northern Railroad representative Ben Steinkamp, Lappe Bridge, Laverne Greving site inspection, and open house to launch Manning Brand: “Manning, It’s Refreshing”.
