O'Meara, Member B.G. Brown, Chairman Carroll M. Mercer, Member Jerdine C. Bragg Milt Sanstrom, P.E. Chairman Brown called the meeting to order at 10:00 a.m. Commissioners Mercer and O'Meara were present. Proposed Levy for Human Services: Ella Sandvig, Peter Simpson, Charles Barker, and Warren Steurer, representing various human services programs, met with the Board to continue discussion of this proposal. Commissioner O'Meara stated that it is the consensus of the Board that, with all the other tax issues on the ballot, this is not a good time to add this proposed levy issue. Mrs. Sandvig reported that those involved in human services reached the same con- clusion, and indicated that, if cutbacks are not too great and Revenue Sharing Funds are allocated to some of the programs, a levy will not be needed to meet the 1983 budgets. Peter Simpson noted that it is highly likely that an additional source of funding will be needed for 1984 programs, however. He went on to state that there is a need for coordinated analysis and prioritization for the time when funding is further reduced, and suggested that a human services board be created for that purpose. Commissioner O'Meara moved to authorize Ella Sandvig, Community Services Coordinator, to establish a Human Services Review Board composed of representatives for all human service pro - _*ams. 6ommissioner Mercer seconded the motion. Unanimous. Commis- sioner Mercer suggested that a letter should be addressed to the City regarding specific needs and expectations for their funding contri- butions to such programs as the Alcoholism Program, as their past contributions have not been commensurate with the number of City residents using the Program. Mrs. Sandvig stated that such a letter is being drafted now. Agreement; VFW Hall Rental: Commissioner Mercer seconded the motion by Commissioner O'Meara to approve and sign an agreement with Tami Paddock for use of the premises for exercise classes. Unanimous. Budget for Public Transportation Feasibility Study Expense: The need to establish a budget to tacilitate repayment ot the fund for this study advanced by the Department of Transportation was dis- cussed. The County will pay the loan, since the County contracted with DOT to do so, and the Jefferson County Transit System will reimburse the County. Following the motion by Commissioner Mercer, seconded by Commissioner O'Meara and unanimously approved, Resolution No. 112-82, setting a hearing date of October 4, 1982 at 10:30 a.m. regara—ing establishment of this budget, was signed. Open Space Tax Classification Request: Gregg Knowles' letter requesting reconsideration of his appI—ication, now that his property has been rezoned by the City, was received. The Board will do some investigation before responding to the letter. Approval of Minutes: The minutes, as corrected, for the week of September 13, 19Z7 were approved and signed on the motion by Commissioner O'Meara, seconded by Commissioner Mercer. Unanimous.

Hearing Notice; Amendment to Health Department Fee Schedule: As follow up to action taken at the Health Board meeting, Commissioner O'Meara moved to publish the proposed ordinance and hearing notice. Commissioner Mercer seconded. Unanimous. The hearing notice was signed, setting hearing for October 11, 1982 at 11:00 a.m. Liquor License Application: Following a telephone request from the Liquor Control Board, Chairman Brown signed a letter approving the application for a special occasion license for the Harbormaster Restaurant for October 12, 1982 on the motion by Commissioner Mercer, seconded by Commissioner O'Meara. The meeting was recessed until Tuesday, September 21, 1982. All members were present when the meeting reconvened. Jail Facility Architectural Design: Lee Smith, Ralph Hall, and David Johnston met with the Board to review the plans and estimated building costs. Mr. Johnston discussed possible changes in order to reduce building costs if FEMA funding is not available for building to emergency operation center standards. Redesign will be necessary if FEMA does not make a commitment for funding. Mr. Johnston noted that, if redesign is necessary, the engineering and architectural fee for the redesign will be ten percent of the building cost, or approximately $17,600.00. Mr. Johnston clarified for Commissioner O'Meara that changes made to eliminate emergency operation center standards would involve material changes and will not significantly alter exterior design. Following general discussion of various aspects of the plans, the Board returned to the matter of redesign if FEMA funding is not committed, and instructed Mr. Johnston to postpone any redesign work until FEMA has had an opportunity to respond to the Board's inquiry of last week. Effort will be made to obtain a commitment from FEMA within the next two weeks. Mr. Johnston's intent is to issue the bid call on November 5, 1982, but this would probably have to be set up if redesign is necessary. On September 21, 1982, with the Board's approval, Chairman Brown signed a letter to the Department of Emergency Services soliciting a commitment on FEMA funding. IFMS System Implementation: During a Users' Committee meeting, Jay Barschdort, ot Omega Systems, reported that except for the annual report for the State Auditor, the implementation is approx- imately ninety-five percent complete. He also presented a proposal for thirteen enhancements to the IFMS system to be completed by Omega Systems. Following discussion, Commissioner Mercer moved to approve an agreement with Omega Systems for performance of the enhance- ments. Commissioner O'Meara seconded the motion and Chairman brown made it unanimous. An agreement will be prepared. An additional motion was made by Commissioner O'Meara to authorize Mr. Barschdorf to research the BARS conversion at a charge of $45.00 per hour (esti- mated to require approximately forty hours). Commissioner Mercer seconded this motion. Unanimous. The meeting was recessed, and all members were present when it was reconvened on Wednesday, September 22, 1982.
