B.11 JOURNAL ENTRY

In the matter of approving Annual County General ) Fund Appropriation for FY12 ) March 28, 2012

Motion by Kokoski, seconded by Williams to adopt. Clerk called for discussion. Commissioner Kokoski stated that there will be a powerpoint presented that was requested by Commissioner Williams from budget dept. Lisa Hobart, Budget Director said these are projected numbers based of the actual revenue and expenditures through end of March, 1 st quarter. As you know, local governments are very dependant on unpredictable revenue streams and the budget is a living document that constantly changes. The information contained in this presentation was based upon projections from previous years and experience. The Overview of County Certificate Carryover @ 1/1/2012 $11,826,531 Current Estimated Revenue $41,116,311 (this is from the meeting of March 14, 2012) Available on Certificate $52,942,842 Budget to be passed today $52,821,691 Unappropriated Funds $ 121,151 (Commissioners can determine today where to put this money or it will go into the stabilization fund)

Commissioner Williams asked to go to next slide which shows a carryover of $6 million. Commissioner Kalo said slide 4. Mrs. Hobart said this slide show a dditional Sources of Revenue (not currently recognized on county certificate) Additional Sales Tax (projected) $1,000,000 (rev est is $14,800,000.00 and 1st quarter it is $250,000 above, so based on trend and last year it was almost $15,6 million, so projected it is higher) Return of Transportation Center Funds $ 151,729 (some unclosed purchase orders) Casino Revenue (projected) $ 800,000 (reviewed website. Commissioner Kalo said the original projections were $1.2-1.5 million but due to the opening date being moved this would be a conservative estimate. He is also trying to have the NE District Commissioners meeting there to see how the payouts went. Commissioner Williams said he is comfortable with this estimate) Return of 911 funds $ 551,000 (one time only and based upon Attorney General’s opnion) Transfer of U-Trust funds (projected) $ 250,000 (average of unclaimed funds after 5 years) Certificate of Title Funds (projected) $ 250,000 Total Additional Projected Revenue $3,002,729 • Note-all other revenues received thru March are on track with the estimates submitted and require no adjustments at this time. Estimated 2012 carryover Current Revenue Estimate incl Carryover $52,942,842 Projected Additional Revenue $ 3,002,729 $55,945,571 Estimated Expenditures for 2012 $49,822,564 (salary/pers, other expenses and dept cuts) (based on 1st quarter spending trends) Estimated Carryover Dec 31, 2012 $ 6,123,007 (Commissioner Kalo said this is projected this is a floating number.

Comments in regards to 2013 budget Projected carryover at Jan 1, 2013 $ 6,123,007 Budget packages will be sent out mid-April. At that time, departments will submit their estimated revenue for 2013. When the State releases their budget for FY2013, we will be able to project revenue for the second half of 2012 and year 2013.

Commissioner Williams said not including infrastructure; roofs, garage, sidewalks, etc. Commissioner Kokoski said the county has not done any major capital improvement and bandages only hold up for so long. Commissioner Williams said his concern is this affects our rating. Commissioner Kalo said only if we are not responsibly it could affect us. County Administrator Cordes said we are in a negative watch now and the carryover is a significant discussion point and the bonding company likes 18-25% and there is a lot of room under general obligation but we need around $3-4 million minimum) Commissioner Williams said 2014 could be below, carryover is high and we need to tighten up because he

151 sees it could be $0-1 million carryover in 2014. Commissioner Kalo asked Commissioner Williams how he arrived at that figure. Commissioner Williams said page 4, shows $6 million carryover and then go off same numbers in 2013 budget and depends on casino revenue. Commissioner Kalo said 2014 there is $1.2 million in less expenditures and inside mileage would be adjudged. Commissioner Cordes said $1 million was set aside for non callable and reduced the interest rate and refinanced for 20 years. Commissioner Williams said $2.5 million carryover with casino revenue. Commissioner Kokoski said few years ago the county was making $8 million in interest income now it is around $1.5 million. Commissioner Williams said he would like to work with the Treasurer to get more stable interest rate. Commissioner Kalo said he left a message for Treasurer and he is in Columbus this morning regards to this and land banking and under HB225, with 4% interest rate and he has never seen in the worst of times a $1 million dollar carryover there is usually returned revenues and the biannual state budget will be coming out July 1 and possible reinstate local government funds. Commissioner Williams said he also hear the state income tax should be eliminated. Commissioner Kalo said no, he is to swap with shale gas monies. Commissioner Kalo said projecting for 2014 and looking at this is just to difficult, because the 2012 tax budget (wish list) he shows it would be $6.2 million short without lgf and it is just early to tell and him and Commissioner Kokoski have been here for 7 years and it always changes. Commissioner Williams said he is concerned and we need to look at infrastructure and the old courthouse is in bad shape, sidewalks are bad, garage is bad we need plans. Commissioner Kalo asked if there were proposals out. Commissioner Kokoski said what about a jumbo bond. County Administrator Cordes said proposals have gone out for various items, roof numbers were received last year the Job & Family Services building is a flat roof and needs repaired holes in parking deck, sidewalks are cracked and these capital expenditures have been deferred and will continue because the money is going towards operations to get the jobs done. If someone where to look at these numbers it looks like we are healthy but something could happen and will continue to do with what the taxpayers allows the county to have but services/infrastructure will continue to erode; just like to replace vehicles for sheriff or fleet and someone vehicles even had a stop sign bolted to the floor. Commissioner Kalo asked if the board was willing to create a priority list with Karen Davis, Special projects manager. County Administrator Cordes said he was not making the request, studies have been done but if there is no money so these tasks could not be accomplished. Commissioner Williams said a plan needs to be done and how items will be paid for. County Administrator Cordes said in the early 90’s the county renovated, built and demo buildings because money was there then and some capital assets were taken care of but yes capital improvements do need to be done but money is an issue. Commissioner Kokoski said the board agenda has a resolution to be considered to have KS Associates do lot split for Golden Acres to sell the corner. County Administrator said yes his direction was to start to liquate assets and notified union and director. There is a proposal for lots splits and subdivide the property on SR58 that has a curb appeal for future developments, retail or commercial and speak with Amherst Township regards to the zoning regulations. He has also meet with various nursing home industries regards to the county home and in process to see wash the best strategy is to release assets and if by year end could see excess of $3 million but would have trailing effects. Commissioner Kokoski said the opposite corner went for $1 million. County Administrator Cordes said he is speaking of the property and objective is to find a buyer to continue the ongoing concern, this is the hardest objective, there are many people that will close home, buy beds, some don’t want facility, but there are 90 jobs and don’t sell as ongoing concern and have fallbacks the trialing cost for 90 employees would be potential lose of sale. This facility is a deemed license home, certified skilled facility and up until last year we were in the black and due to Governor’s change and reimbursement rate it has gone back into the red and would like to market as a profitable concern and without a license because we are a governmental agency makes the sale tricky and could do as a lease option until permits are granted. Commissioner Williams said he would like to have Mrs. Davis come up with list of properties and have an distractive session to discuss in public, no televised session is required. He stated there are a bunch of holes in the sidewalks that have body chalk around them which was a waste of time for an employee to do, County Administrator Cordes was not aware of this.

David Ashenhurst, Oberlin thanked everyone for this conversation on the budget but had questions regards to exhibit a and the slides with department budget comparison it says $52,821,690.91 and the department budget was $52,443,868.00. Commissioner Kalo said numbers are adjusted daily within the budget. He questioned #21 and #47 line items under Commissioners. Mrs. Hobart, Budget Director said these lines are for various departments under the commissioners like; jail, special purpose, transit, airport, etc. and the money is put into appropriation budget that was adopted this past December from transfer out account. Commissioner Kalo said it is just a pass through just like when he donates $211 every two weeks of his pay it goes into county general fund as additional revenue that would have not been forecasted. County Administrator Cordes said like board of elections when a special election is held they may need $65,000 so commissioners advance the money and then they reimburse the general fund once receive. He also stated under misc funds are the global accounts for various departments. Mr. Ashenhurst said it would be nice to have a breakdown of all these number. Mrs. Hobart said the numbers on the actual budget that is being passed today, only includes 1st and 2nd quarter so the bigger number is all quarters put together.

Discussion continued and the following resolution was adopted: b.11 RESOLUTION NUMBER: 12-215

Motion by Kokoski, seconded by Williams to adopt Resolution. Ayes: All. Motion carried. ______b.13 RESOLUTION NO. 12-217

In the matter of receiving and journalizing a vacation ) request of Amherst Township Trustees in accordance ) March 28, 2012 with ORC 5553.045 for Cherry Hill Drive )

WHEREAS, a request was received from Amherst Township Trustees dated May 7, 2012 requesting the Commissioners to vacate Cherry Hill Drive; and

WHEREAS, Amherst Township Trustees by Resolution No. 2-12-12, adopted February 28, 2012 approved the following: - Cherry Hill Subdivision, Amherst Township, Ohio was platted in 2008 including the designation of an access road known as Cherry Hill Drive; and - Cherry Hill was partially constructed, but complete construction in compliance with the County Engineer’s proposed construction was not done, as a turnaround has not been completed; and - The developer is deceased and his estate has been designated as insolvent, and therefore will not complete construction; and - The current owner of the one existing residence adjoining the road has expressed an unwillingness to complete construction of the turnaround; and - Cherry Hill Drive has never been accepted as a dedicated road due to the incomplete construction; and - The Board of Trustees of Amherst Township deem it in the best interest of the Township to vacate the “paper street”; and - Section 5553.045(B) of the Ohio Revised Code allows a board of trustees to petition the Board of Commissioners to vacate a right of way proposed as a road which has not been formally dedicated and is not used to calculate road mileage for the Township

WHEREAS, the petition to vacate is as follows; Now comes the Board of Trustee of Amherst Township, Lorain County, Ohio, and hereby petitions the Board of Commissioners of Lorain County, Ohio, pursuant to Section 5553.45(B) of the Ohio Revised Code to vacate the undedicated right-of-way known as Cherry Hill Drive, located in Amherst Township Adjacent owners; 1) Jerry & Roberta Thome, Trustees, 45205 Telegraph Road, Elyria, Ohio 44035 Parcel Numbers; 05-00-078-000-044 and 05-00-079-000-094 2) Paul & Tracey Donovan, 43816 Middle Ridge Rd., Lorain, Ohio 44053 Parcel Numbers; 05-00-078-000-045

Reason to vacate; - the road was designated to be dedicated on Plat Vol. 94, Page 19. The developer wanted to design it as a stub as it would be serving only three owners. To accept it as a stub street a turn around would be needed so that snow plows and other maintenance vehicles could maneuver without using private driveways and damaging them. - The developer agreed to construct the turnaround, but died before doing so. The one owner residing adjacent to Cherry Hill is unwilling to make the improvements. The Township does not wish to spend taxpayer dollars improving a private road, but can not maintain the same in its current layout.

- The two owners of lots adjacent to the right-of-way have access directly to Middle Ridge Road.

JOURNAL ENTRY

Ron Nabakowski, Clerk of Courts said he is asking for an increase in his 2nd quarter 2012 budget because;

Comm. Kokoski stated they are not the budget commission and they abide by what is given. Nabakowski said Budget Comm holds Commissioners together. Comm Kalo said we are given the numbers and look at facts. Nabakowski said he was former Commissioner and City of Lorain Auditor and he was never off with numbers. Comm Kalo said the budget he submitted last year was $1.355 M with $167,000 other exp so $1.52 M. Nabakowski said the State of Ohio has a ridiculous budget format to have estimates in April. Hobart said exp in 2011 was $1,324,675. Comm Kalo said so this was less than tax budget. Nabakowski said if given wish list they would have spent. Nabakowski said he has a lot of single parents and can’t afford to layoff.

Clerk of Courts Nabakowski said it seems that his office is picked on the most when they work the hardest to get money back into the general fund. Commissioner Kokoski said he has two offices; Clerk of Courts and Title and he has requested additional monies in Clerk of Courts office. Her question is the fees were raised for foreclosure, so since 2005 this office did not see a reduction until last year in amount of $17,000 and then this year $100,000, so first year with a cut to the budget. Clerk of Court Nabakowski said they have 5 fewer people and they received $200,000 from Judges to keep the foreclosures up to date. Commissioner Kokoski said she looked at the budget from 2005 and until last year it was the first time there was an overall cut in his budget and Commissioners department took a $300,000 cut and laid off employees. Clerk of Courts Nabakowski said the board laid off people that cleaned his office; Commissioner Kokoski said the board laid off many employees not just the people that cleaned. Mr. Nabakowski said when the board made those cuts, now his office staff has to do these responsibilities, Commissioner Kokoski said her too, and she cleans her own office. Commissioner Kokoski asked Clerk of Courts Nabakowski to show why she is wrong, he is getting additional monies, and Commissioners do not have any special funds. Clerk of Courts Nabakowski said in 2010, Auditor sent him a letter stating that money was needed in payroll and Commissioners had additional $300,000 surplus where other departments had no money. Clerk of Courts Nabakowski said his office has 2 part time people at 20 hours/week, lower wages and down 5 people and got rid of high priced employees. Commissioner Kokoski said where does his money come from to reimburse the medical, Nabakowski said title fund. Commissioner Williams said looking at other counties population, Stark County has population of 379,466 and 30 clerks, and we have 28 with population of 305,707. Commissioner Kalo said in comparison to Stark, they had a sales tax pulled in 2010. Clerk of Courts Nabakowski said our county still has the largest case load in the state. He is requesting an appropriation of $26,000 because he is short, Commissioner Kalo said because there are 27 pays rather than 26. Mr. Nabakowski said his employees are still working with no raise where the commissioner’s employees did receive a raise of 2.5%. Commissioner Williams said Clerk of Courts is still working from an old contract, Mr. Nabakowski said the title department has not had a contract for 5 years, this office wanted the title revenue, he said no, so took to mediation and they lost and then union said told them if they did not get it now they would never get so then they voted the contract down. Commissioner Williams said if these employees would pay what everyone else is paying in health insurance it would be a cost savings of $30,000 to general fund. Mr. Nabakowski said he is in discussions and did not get endorsed by AFL-CIO because there is no contract. Commissioner Kokoski asked if this department is refunding the county for premiums, Budget Director Hobart said no, just title.

161 County Administrator Cordes said the last raise by union contract for Commissioners department was 2009 and no budgets were cut to support commissioner’s department raises, they took cuts and more than what was needed and raised salary accounts to adjust and what Clerk of Courts Nabakowski stated was a misrepresentation of what happened regards to this. Clerk of Courts Nabakowski said his office needed more money to give raises and they were not given anymore money. County Administrator Cordes said there was money in the Commissioners budget because cuts have been ongoing which other department did not make and he is tried of this being said because the Commissioners office have taken more cuts than any office. Clerk of Courts Nabakowski said there was a $1,400,000.00 appropriated and only $1.3 M was spent, County Administrator Cordes said the Commissioners took cuts annually and planned accordingly since 2005 and told all departments this was going to happen and he can show the number of employees there was and is now and reductions over successive years. Commissioner Kokoski said the Commissioners department did not fill positions and then took cuts. Clerk of Courts Nabakowski said he cut the public by cutting his budget; Commissioners cut their budget by cutting him. County Administrator Cordes said this is not fact; the Commissioners do not cut their budget to cut other departments budgets. Clerk of Courts said there is no one to empty garbage cans, vacuum. Commissioner Kalo said yes service was cut because that is one responsibility the Commissioners had but no longer. County Administrator Cordes said the Commissioners do not tell the other departments how to manage their office, but what Clerk of courts is saying is that his employees do not want to take their garbage bag to the hallway global dumpster, Clerk of Courts Nabakowski said they do this and clean carpet. All 3 Commissioners said they run their own vacuums in their offices and empty trash. Commissioner Williams said we have townships looking at police district to help out and Clerk of Courts Nabakowski is complaining about emptying cans and vacuum. Clerk of Courts Nabakowski said because his people do not have time to do their work because of these other duties they now have to do and hours have been cut. Commissioner Williams said the office hours have been reduced since 2009, Clerk of Courts Nabakowski said should be opened full time there was a carryover. County Administrator Cordes said he did not say it was his fault but he is reporting facts that are misleading to the public and then a price has to be paid. Clerk of Courts Nabakowski said he did not have the money to give his employees raises. County Administrator Cordes said the Commissioners did not increase their budget to give raises it was within their allocation and have taken cuts if not more and provided for the obligations. Commissioner Kokoski said the first 3-4 years she remembers that the elected officials stated they have their budgets leave them alone, but Clerk of Courts Nabakowski came back each December requesting additional funds. Clerk of Courts Nabakowski said because they were unappropriated he does not know until then. He did a study with Judge Betleski looking at appropriations and average expenses are less 70%, it was 63%. County Administrator Cordes said this occurred because elected officials had a fit that every time money was returned the budgets were cut the next year because of excess funds, in 2001 there was a mutiny by the elected officials they are getting tired of returning money and the micromanaging, so Commissioners went to a baseline formula so if $1 million was given in 2001, and returned $200,000 the department still received $1 million plus any increase past for the next year and now we are told that it was over appropriated. Clerk of Courts said he is not blaming anybody but the Commissioners were probably appropriated the wish list. County Administrator Cordes said previous budgets for example 2001 expenditures and dropped appropriation down to 2000 levels and added slight increase and people got made so some budgets had funds that were not going to be used because this is what was asked to be done and did have more money coming into the general fund but also gave the departments ability to manage their departments and being fully independent. Clerk of Courts Nabakowski said his real complaint is that there was no budget hearings and explanation. County Administrator Cordes said there was budget hearings and we were told that there was no cuts to be made, so Commissioners did global cuts since the appointing officials would not participate because they would not take the cuts and it is impossible to do the job under these circumstance and not be arbitrary capricious. Clerk of Courts Nabakowski said he came twice, renegotiate contracts and took cuts since 2009. Commissioner Kokoski said the raises were given because the contract called for raises and it was always followed that non bargaining got what bargaining received and that was 3-4 years ago and this contract says no raises for another 3 years so we are at 6 years no raises and employees pay more for hospitalization. Clerk of Courts Nabakowski said so are his people but not title fund and Clerks office has no contract. County Administrator Cordes said it is up to the elected officials to find it within their budget without an increase in allocation and run their departments and Commissioners had no increase in their budget they found within. He stated that Commissioners do not have more money they have done exactly 100% as other departments over the last 10 years and have documentation and reduced employees years ago and it was an un-factual statement by Clerk of Courts Nabakowski and can not stand by this and prove that he is 100% not factual. Clerk of Courts Nabakowski said to County Administrator Cordes he is wrong and will prove that he is wrong. County Administrator Cordes asked Budget Director Hobart to come to the podium and asked if the Commissioners have every taken more than any other departments, Mrs. Hobart said no. County Administrator Cordes asked if the Commissioners have taken more cuts than other departments, Mrs. Hobart said yes. Clerk of Courts Nabakowski appropriation was given based on what was needed, he said payroll is very easy you know how many employees there are and wages, County Administrator Cordes said you don’t understand, Clerk of Courts Nabakowski said he does understand and you can calculate payroll and Commissioners payroll was over $300,000, County Administrator Cordes said it was not over, they made reductions and have all this documentation and they were the ants that got ready and you’s were the grasshoppers that fiddled. Clerk of Courts Nabakowski said all the fiddlers asked for more money because the budgets were not appropriated correctly. Commissioner Kalo said starting in 2007 the Commissioners had attrition process not replacing, County Administrator Cordes said it was prior to this. Commissioner Kalo said in 2007 we actually discussed elimination of services, office services. Commissioner Kokoski said what about Human Resource Office, County Administrator Cordes said there use to be 4 bodies in this department now there is 1 payroll person. Commissioner Kalo said we use to have Assistant County Administrator, Ombudsman, many others and many other were not replaced and just kept operating. County Administrator Cordes said no supervisors or assistant directors were hired once someone left, shut down office services and gave the departments money for printing this saved over $300,000. Commissioner Kokoski said switchboard, county Administrator Cordes said this was automated. Commissioner Kalo said this was not for better service, service has got worse it was for budgetary reasons, so when you speak of emptying garbage cans, etc. everyone is doing it at this point and tried to keep under control. County Administrator Cordes said he does not doubt that more staff is needed, Clerk of Courts Nabakowski said he is not asking for more people he is asking for the same people need the money so no furloughs are done and mandates that are required. County Administrator Cordes said Commissioners chose not to do furlough they chose to do layoffs and close departments and furloughs are not allowed the time has expired. Clerk of Courts Nabakowski said he has a Skelton staff; there are over 1000 mandates that are not being fulfilled. Commissioner Kokoski said speak with the Sheriff he has taken cuts, he is short. She stated the Commissioners since 2005 have cut $303,000; building grounds $245,000; office services $40,000; telecommunications $92,000; custodial $176,000 these are true cuts and when she looked at Clerk of Courts budget there were no cuts until last year of $17,000 and this year $100,000. Clerk of Courts Nabakowski said then whey did he layoff people, Commissioner Kokoski said she does not know is he overspending in other areas, the money that is being received from foreclosure fee that was increased is offsetting the amount of money that was cut so it ends up being a $0.00 cut. Clerk of Courts Nabakowski said if the Judges did not give this money for foreclosure he would even be shorter. County Administrator Cordes said there are unique circumstances that the Clerk of Courts and Judges have done to increase revenue and this was commended, but every time Commissioners struggle and find ways in not making additional cuts then they shouldn’t be penalized and everyone then says county has too much money. Clerk of Courts Nabakowski said just like Butler County they are going to be in trouble because they used the money for operations and he is requesting the $26,000 for the 3rd and 4th quarter and he sure works hard enough to give money back. ______(discussion was held on the above) g.
