Commissioner Swope seconded. Motion passed 3-0. Superior Court/Drug Court request regarding Main Street building: Stephanie Miller spoke about the request to acquire the Masonic Temple/Main Street building for Drug Court and Family Recovery Court (FRC) housing. Stephanie said approximately 90% of the Drug Court participants start out homeless and use services to help with housing needs. Commissioner Pollock said there may be other buildings more suitable for Drug Court needs. The “Royal Bakery” building was suggested. Steve Wohld said there are apartments currently located above the “Royal Bakery” building that could be used. Erik Martin suggested having Facilities evaluate the options available and how best to meet those needs. Stephanie said there are approximately 10-16 participants that use housing services and if possible, Superior Court would like to increase housing availability based on the amount of participants served. Resolutions 22-180 & 22-186: Josh Metcalf said Public Works was prepared to award the bid to Steele Trucking. This was the only bid received. Daleyn Coleman has requested the Board to designate representatives to the Risk Pool based on recommendations from Commissioner Grose. Commissioner Grose and Commissioner Pollock volunteered to serve. At this time, County Manager Erik Martin represents the Board. Fuel surcharge: Josh Metcalf said fuel usage has trended similarly to previous years, but due to increased fuel costs, he feels it’s important to impose a surcharge. The current estimated fuel costs have doubled. He is looking at a budget amendment and the fuel adjustment is the only needed ask. If costs increase or decrease significantly, Josh said he would adjust costs at year-end as well. He estimates an $800,000 shortage due to rising fuel costs. Meeting ended at 9:48 a.m.
