Motion by Kalo, seconded by Kokoski, to adopt Resolution. Secretary called for discussion. Commissioner Williams questioned #567, 568 & 569 – 3 – 2013 Dodge Avengers for Adult Probation, these should be held because there are fleet vehicles that are under utilized and rather than get new Commissioners could transfer some vehicles to them. Commissioner Kokoski asked if there were any fleet vehicles available. County Administrator Cordes said he has had this conversation with Commissioner Williams previously and don’t believe there are extra vehicles. Commissioner Williams said there are 19 vehicles. Lisa Hobart, Budget Director said Adult Probation is purchasing 1 vehicle but this reflects 3 separate account numbers from grants. County Administrator Cordes said there is a policy in place that employees need to use the county vehicles for travel, if nothing is available can use their vehicle and get reimbursed but this is vary rare occurrence and a lot of cars are used for local travel and the usually Columbus trips. Commissioner Williams said state auditors use their own cars and get reimbursed for mileage and if there are trips to Columbus, maybe a rental car and don’t pay for insurance. Commissioner Williams said Domestic Relations needs a vehicle takes from fleet. County Administrator Cordes said it has been 7+ years since the county bought new cars and the last time anything was purchased it was Ford Focus and Janice Mokosh checks out vehicles. Commissioner Williams asked her how many, Ms. Mokosh said she would look into the reports but could not give a number. Commissioner Williams said there have been many times that vehicles have been parked at local restaurants, County Administrator Cordes said vehicles are not checked out for this purpose, Commissioner Williams said he took pictures and will forward for review. Commissioner Kokoski asked if this could be reviewed, County Administrator Cordes said yes, but he would still check into insurance for liability purposes, as well as workers comp, portal issues, etc. Motion carried. ______(discussion was held on the above)

There was also a lobbying day for Mental Health and Environmental which he did not attend but he indicated he knows a lot more about County Commissioners Association then most of the other people that are around there and suggested that the governmental county affairs person from CCAO to show up at some of these things to mingle and tell them what CCAO is and what their priorities are. Commissioner Kalo said CCAO has 4 different people that do government relations based on certain subject criteria, Cheryl Stuber oversees entire department. He said he introduces legislations each year but the website is a good source since there are many groups. Mr. Ashenhurst said yes there are lots of groups but not all statewide and maybe there should be information supplied on the tables from CCAO to make these grassroots lobbyist aware of the priorities of county commissioners and the discussions that have been had. Commissioner Kalo said he would relay this information to CCAO. ______(discussion was held on the above)
