Old Business:
Salary Reimbursement and Office Renovation- Kim Turner’s Office:
Mr. Bateman still needs to reach out to Mrs. Turner. Keep on the
agenda.
Abraham Lincoln Statue: Mr. Bateman reported the statue is
loose. The committee discussed different ideas on how they can
stabilize the statue. Mr. Bateman does not want to use caulk on the
base.
Military Veteran’s Information Center: Keep on agenda.
Floor Plan at the Assessor’s Office: Mr. Bateman reported
Denise Martinek received a quote from Tillman Construction. The
quote was for removing a partition wall for Supt. of Schools, reuse
existing trim to fill remaining wall and move wiring to nearest
wall.
The quote came in at $500.00.
Mr. Bateman reported we cannot put an elevator in at the
assessor’s office.
Mr. Ruben would like Mrs. Martinek and Mr. D’Andrea to come to
the next meeting to discuss the lay out.
Mrs. Schumacher mentioned buying Superintendent of Schools AED
machine when they close.
Part-Time Summer Help: Mr. Bateman reported Sheriff is okay
with hiring summer help. Sheriff only asked if the employee checks
in with county board members.
Lights in the Safety Complex: Mrs. Schumacher asked about
getting the lights fixed.
Mr. Bateman reported Mr. Blankenship’s friend who owns a bucket
truck plans to come fix the lights soon.
Mrs. Schumacher also reported a couple of lights at the park are
already out. Mr. Reves will get ahold of BLI to get it fixed.

New Business:
Smoke Free Parks- REALITY Group: The Reality Group presented
a PowerPoint to the committee to state why they think Scully and
Latham Park should be smoke free.
A motion was made by Mr. Hepler, seconded by Mrs. Schumacher, to
adopt a resolution to make Latham and Scully Parks tobacco free.
Motion passed.
Discussion held. Ms. Hauter reported REALITY will pay for the
signs. They will also prepare a press release. REALITY will maintain
the parks signs.
Mr. Bateman does not have a problem with making the parks smoke
free as long as REALITY is willing to pay for the signs and maintain
the signs.
The REALITY group knows this will be hard to enforce, but they
believe it will help reduce the smoke use in the park.
A motion to amend was made by Mr. Rohlfs, seconded by Mr. Ruben,
to put signs up on the half of both parks that have playground
equipment. Motion failed. Mr. Bateman will make a motion on
Thursday, May 14, 2015 to the full board.
Natural Gas Contract- Adam Schmidt: Mr. Schmidt presented the
committee with a graph to show our natural gas uses. Right now rates
are low. The county has already signed with Vanguard for one year. A
motion was made by Mr. Ruben, seconded by Mrs. Schumacher, to go out
for bids for years two and three. Motion passed.
Requests: None
Report from Dennis Reves: No report.
A motion was made by Mr. Ruben, seconded by Mr. Rohlfs, to approve
the bills. Motion passed.
A motion was made by Mrs. Schumacher, seconded by Mr. Farmer, to
adjourn the meeting. Motion passed. Meeting ended at 7:50 pm.
