3. Resolution No. 11-027 Supporting a secure, convenient medicine return
program to reduce the public safety and environmental impacts of
unwanted medicines.
Danette York, Director of Public Health and Social Services, stated this
resolution is to support Legislation for a Statewide Program to properly dispose of
unwanted medicines. Lewis County already has established our own program and
we have four drop boxes in four locations throughout the County. This Legislation
could provide funding in the future to help sustain or expand that program.
Chairman Averill stated our program is three months old and allows for the drop
off at Centralia City Hall, The Law and Justice Bldg. in Chehalis, Morton Police
Station, and the Packwood Sheriff’s substation.
Commissioner Grose stated his one concern he has with this program is it will
increase the cost of prescription drugs to support the cost of the program.
4. Resolution no. 11-028 Approving an inter-local agreement with Lewis
County Fire District #10 (Packwood) for computer and software
maintenance services.
5. Resolution No. 11-029 Approving an inter-local agreement with the City of
Morton for computer and software maintenance services.
6. Resolution No. 11-030 Approving an inter-local agreement with the City of
Centralia for computer and software maintenance services.
Michael Strozyk, Director Central Services, spoke on items 4, 5, and 6 stating
item 4, Resolution No. 11-0028 approves an inter-local agreement with Lewis
County Fire District #10 for our IT Department to provide computer services to them
for the Spillman Public Safety software. The Lewis County Fire District #10 has
minimal terminals so the contract in this case is for $110.00 minimum and billed at
$55.00 per hour for labor on those units. This is a two year agreement running
through December 31, 2012. Overtime or emergency callouts, when authorized by
the agency, are billed at $80.00 per hour. Item 5, Resolution No. 11-029 is an
identical inter-local to the City of Morton. Item No. 6 Resolution No. 11-030
approves an inter-local with the City of Centralia for the same services; however,
the rate is different due to the volume of unit. They have a flat rate established
similar to what we do with inter-fund rates. The rate for 2011 for the City of
Centralia is $36,660.00 to maintain their public safety software.
7. Resolution No. 11-031 Closing the Senior Transportation Fund 192.
Suzette Smith, Auditors Office, stated this resolution is for the transfer of the
residual cash balance from Fund 192, in the amount of $11,094.52, back to
Current Expense or General Fund 001. The Senior Transportation Program was
moved over to the Catholic Community Services in January of 2010. At that time
3
fund 192 had outstanding receivables. Those receivables were collected in 2010
and it is time for that account to now be closed.
8. Resolution No. 11-032 Approving the Collective Bargaining Agreement
between Teamsters 252 representing Juvenile Probation and Clerical.
Archie Smith, Human Resource Administrator, stated this is a one year contract
with Teamsters 252 representing Juvenile Probation and Clerical. The primary
change in this contract is they are taking 32 hours of furloughs. There is no change
in the employer contribution amount for medical and a plan was selected that is less
than last year’s plan. A step increase is authorized for 2011.
Motion Carried: 2-0
There being no further business, the Commissioners’ public meeting adjourned at
10:20 am. on January 31, 2011. The next public meeting will be held Monday,
