VI. Regular Agenda

A. 2012 Budget Amendment – As explained over the last few months, when the 2012 Budget was adopted last year, we entered numbers for transfer from the former Special Revenue Tax Levy Funds based on the estimate of how much money would be left in those funds using the State Budget Spreadsheet. As with any prediction, it is nearly impossible to accurately predict actual year‐end numbers. As anticipated, in several cases, the cash remaining in those funds at year‐end 2011 exceeded the residual transfer amount in the budget. A few months ago, the Commission agreed that an amendment to the budget was appropriate to adjust the transfer amounts to empty out the phased out funds rather than having the residual amounts carry‐over into 2013. This amendment addresses the difference in residual funds. According to State Law, in order to approve a budget amendment, the Commission must go through the same process it does for adoption of the original budget. One item of note in the proposed amendment is the final residual amount in the Road & Bridge Fund is lower than anticipated because in August a bill was paid to Glassman for the Public Works Building exhaust system. That project was only recently completed contrary to the anticipated completion of November last year. For this reason, a public hearing was published for this meeting to encourage input on the proposed amendment. The final cost of that project was $14,250. In addition, Public Works paid a carry‐overe bill from th fuel metering upgrade in the amount of $2,384.14. I reduced the proposed transfer from Road & Bridge to the General Fund and the Transfer to the Equipment Replacement Reserve accordingly. If the Commission

1 wants to adopt the amendment as proposed following the hearing, here is a suggested motion:

Suggested Motion: To adopt an amendment to the 2012 Budget as published on Monday, August 20, 2012.

In addition, in order to complete the process, it the amendment is approved, I ask the Commission to consider approving the recommended transfers. That way this issue can be put to rest and there will be sufficient money in the Equipment Replacement Reserve Fund to cover anticipated 2012 purchases. The one transfer listed below that is also in the 2012 Budget is the $75,000 for Emergency Management. The reason for that transfer is to help cover the cost of replacing the emergency sirens throughout the rural areas of the County. However we learned this is not necessary for them to function with a narrow‐banded signal. Now the question is whether the County is simply interested in upgrading the sirens due to their age and condition. The management staff is in the process of developing a new emergency siren policy for presentation to the Commission in the near future. We had some good discussion on this subject the other day, but we still need to do considerable work before it is ready for presentation. One of the challenges we face today is people often do not heed the sirens by immediately moving to a safe area. In addition, because these are outside warning devices, they are not as effective today because houses and buildings tend to be tighter today and windows are not open because of air conditioning. This makes sirens more difficult to hear. Finally, we are discussing whether the County should be responsible for replacing sirens or whether the people in the area served should pay for them.

Suggested Motion: To approve transfer of residual cash in the following funds to the General Fund: Appraisal; Health; Economic Development; Ambulance; Road & Bridge; Special Bridge; and Fair Rent and to approve the following transfers from the General Fund to the Equipment Replacement Reserve: Appraisal $140,268; Health $17,107; EMS $809,950; Road & Bridge $1,198,649; Communications Center $40,000; Sheriff $54,000; Emergency Management $75,000; Fair $53,503.

B. Care Council Funding Recommendations – Each year, the Care Council, which is organized through the United Way of Ellis County includes in its allocation discussions, the allocation of County Special Alcohol revenues to eligible organizations. The enclosure from the Care Council recommends distributing the County Special Alcohol Fund revenues 50%/50% between Dream, Inc. and Smoky Hill Foundation for Chemical Dependency, Inc. The total budget this year is $8,500.

Suggested Motion: To accept the recommendation from the Care Council to distribute the County’s Special Alcohol Fund revenues 50%/50% up to the total

 Page 2

budget of $8,500 between Dream, Inc. and Smoky Hill Foundation for Chemical Dependency, Inc.

C. Public Works

1. Pneumatic Roller – A memo from Mr. Graf is in the packet showing comparable prices of pneumatic rollers and other information to help with the decision on purchase of a second pneumatic roller.

Suggested Motion: To purchase the pneumatic roller leased for Road & Bridge for the summer of 2012 for the amount of $61,094.14, which is the list price of $67,500 less an allowance for the amount paid on the lease.

2. BG Consultants ‐ Engineering Contract – Because funding for this program is dependent on the $600,000 placed in the 2013 Budget, I held off presenting it to the Commission for consideration until after the budget was finalized.

Suggested Motion: To approve and authorize signatures on the proposed agreement from BG Consultants for design and construction engineering services on proposed road and bridge projects funded with the annual budgeted sum of $600,000 established in the 2013 County Budget.

3. Road Safety Project 26C‐0370‐01 – Construction Engineer Selection Process – As Mr. Graf reported recently, KDOT is requiring a qualification‐ based selection process for determining which engineering firm we will use for construction engineering services on this road safety project. Enclosed are statements of qualification from three firms and one letter indicating no interest in this project. In case the Commission wants to make a selection decision based on the Statements of Qualification, I am including a suggested motion to select one of the firms.

Suggested Motion: To select ______as the engineering firm to perform construction engineering services for Road Safety Project 26C‐0370‐01.

4. Public Works CIP for 2012 – As Mr. Graf describes in his memo enclosed, he wants to discuss the major capital purchases he has planned for 2012 to ensure the Commission is aware of priorities and agrees with them.

5. Dakota Well Idea – This is an update report. No action is requested. When the subject of Road & Bridge need for water to work roads

 Page 3

throughout the County came up during the last County Commission meeting, an idea of drilling one or more Dakota formation wells was raised. Since that time, we have had a discussion regarding possibly sharing the cost of drilling and maintaining a well with the Ellis Golf Course and have talked about other possible locations. Due to the need, it is probably prudent to consider more than one well as it doesn’t make sense to travel back and forth throughout the County from one location. Mr. Graf also spoke to State officials about the possibility of doing this. Based on one of those conversations, he believes it may be prudent to test the water on the roads first as it apparently has not performed well in some locations. We talked about seeking water tests from the city of Hays as they have a few Dakota formation wells. This information would likely be helpful in our analysis.

6. Road Improvement Bond Issue – With approval of the 2013 Budget, we now have a means of making payments on a bond issue. In order to take advantage of interest rates, this is a good time to advertise for services of a bond consultant for this issue and pursue a bond issue before rates start to go up.

Suggested Motion: To approve advertising for a bond consulting firm to work with the County on a bond issue to fund one or more anticipated road improvement projects.

D. Sheriff

1. Springhill Tower Radio Lease – Amateur Radio Equipment – Sheriff Harbin will be appearing before the Commission to discuss the proposed agreement to lease a spot on the Springhill Radio Tower for Amateur Radio antenna and related equipment. Enclosed is information about amateur radio services and how they benefit local emergency services.

E. Emergency Medical Services

1. Letter of Compliance – Mr. McCue recently received the enclosed letter of compliance from the State regarding our Emergency Medical Services. It was put in the packet for information.

F. County Administrator

1. 55th Street Radio Tower Project – A few weeks ago, I reported that it may be possible to lessen the cost to the General Fund of the 55th Street Radio Tower upgrade because we are in the process of closing out a State grant that is expected to make about $10,500 available in 911 funds. Because this grant dates back to 2008 and we thought it originally came from Fund

 Page 4

61, the original 911 Fund, it made sense to reallocate that money. However it has been determined the original source was a transfer from Fund 111, the Cellular 911 Fund, which is considerably more limited in its potential use. For this reason, it cannot be used to lower the General Fund’s cost because there were costs in the upgrade that are not eligible expenditures of the Cellular 911 money. However during the Department Head meeting on August 30, we discussed the possibility of paying directly for current needs directly related to the Public Safety Communications Center. By paying these costs directly, we will be able avoid charging these items to the General Fund or Equipment Replacement Reserve Fund. The plan is to zero out Fund 111 by year end. That way we will only be operating one 911 Fund starting in 2013.

2. Adjusters International – Bill Ring and I met with a representative of this firm a few weeks ago. They provide services related to disaster mitigation, response, and recovery including FEMA grants. They do not charge anything for signing the proposal. It is simply a method for establishing a relationship in case we ever need their services. Based on what I learned, I believe adopting this proposal will provide the County with more options in addressing disaster recovery than it has currently. There is no mandate to use any of the services described. We would simply contact them if we ever need any of their services. Bill Jeter reviewed the proposed agreement and stated no concerns.

Suggested Motion: To accept the proposal from Adjusters International and authorize signatures.

Chair M E M O Dustin Schlaefli Aufdemberge TO: Ellis County Commission Vice President FROM: Dustin Schlaefli, Chair Board of Directors The CARE Council United Way of Ellis DATE: August 17, 2012 County RE: Special Alcohol Tax Funds

Co-Chair The City of Hays, Ellis County and the United Way of Ellis County have participated in the CARE Council process since 1992. This Community Allocation, Review and Evaluation Josh Dreher process coordinates the distribution of social service and alcohol tax dollars.

Ellis County The CARE Council and its process have evolved over the past 18 years. Currently, the Vice Appointees President of the Board of Directors of the United Way of Ellis County serves as the Chair of

the Council. He/she does not have voting power but works with each team to insure

Dr. Kathryn McGonigal consistency in the review process.

Tom Pitner The United Way of Ellis County, the City of Hays and Ellis County continue to appoint four representatives each to the Council. They are divided into four teams of three and they Becky Howland review applications in the focus areas of Children and Youth Programs, Community and Neighborhood Programs, Family and Individual Programs and Health and Rehabilitation Alicia Hering Programs. Each team makes a program funding recommendation for each program it reviews. City of Hays Appointees In 2009, the United Way of Ellis County went to program funding. Instead of making one allocation to the agency’s general fund, the funds were distributed to the programs offered by Mike Prindle the agency. This process was used to make funding recommendations for Special Alcohol Tax funds for 2013. Mark St. Peter The CARE Council members worked hours reviewing applications and gathering additional Mike Billinger information in order to develop its funding recommendations. The Health and Rehabilitation team evaluated both the agencies providing services with alcohol tax dollars and made site visits to both locations. Kayla Lonnon

The CARE Council used the following priorities established by the Ellis County Commission United Way of Ellis in evaluating the applications for Alcohol Tax Funds: County

1. Quality of programs as demonstrated through the application for funding.

Josh Dreher 2. Agencies that serve Ellis County residents and provide services to indigent

clients as well as self-paying and insured clients. Christine Lang 3. Programs that show evidence of coordination with existing agencies that have alcohol abuse programs. Joel Maiorano 4. Agencies that demonstrate they refer compromised individuals to recognized and accredited programs. Terry Siek 5. Number of clients served.

The CARE Council recommends the following distribution of Ellis County Special Alcohol Tax funds:

DREAM, Inc. 50% Recovery for the Whole Family

Smoky Hill Foundation for Chemical Dependency, Inc. 50% Primary Outpatient Treatment Women’s Outpatient Treatment Youth Education Safety Class (YES)

Descriptions of Programs

DREAM, Inc. Recovery for the Whole Family – Alcohol Tax Funds allow this agency to offer the only intensive services for teens and their families as well as specialized services for children of addicted families. Special Alcohol Tax Funds from Ellis County are used to provide free or reduced fee services including a year round support group, evaluations for school and family referrals, co-joint family counseling and consultations for family members of addicts. This program served 425 persons residents in 2011. The program is intended to reduce use of alcohol and drugs, increase attendance at school and work sites, reduce problems within the family and reduce contacts with law enforcement.

Smoky Hill Foundation for Chemical Dependency, Inc. Primary Outpatient – Eighty-one men were served by this program in 2011. Since 2008, there has been a 131% increase in the number of men in Hays and Ellis County diagnosed with substance abuse issues. Of those clients, 80% reported no alcohol use after the program. Eighty percent of clients reported being employed full-time and 5% reported an increase in number of days worked.

Youth Education and Safety (YES) – This class is for young people who have had a contact with law enforcement due to delinquent behavior. From the 6 YES sessions in 2011, 50 youth and 59 parents/guardians were served. Youth demonstrated an 18% increase in knowledge following the course and parents 15% increase. Of the students who returned the follow-up survey at the end of three months, 90% indicated no further re-offenses. Additionally, the results of a one-year follow-up of the participants indicated 97% had no further involvement with the law since attending the YES program.

EXPERIENCE

11 Years with BG Consultants, Inc.

Project Approach

Construction Engineering:

BG Consultants, Inc. (BG) has compiled a team of professional individuals that have current, as well as long-term experience in design as well as construction engineering for KDOT projects. BG has provided professional services to communities for over 30 years. We are an all inclusive firm with the capabilities to handle a project from the initial planning stage through construction. Our current workload will allow us to staff this project properly and complete all the necessary tasks with experienced professional staff.

Tom Bennett, P.E. developed BG Consultants’ Construction Engineering Staff over 20 years ago when the KDOT started their LPA inspection program. Two words best describe this staff: Experienced and Flexible. Our staff includes four general classifications; 1) Full time project manager qualified inspectors 2) Part time inspectors retired from the KDOT or the BIA also qualified to be project managers 3) Technicians who are beginning to acquire inspection knowledge and experience but mainly work in the office in plan development 4) Young engineering graduates who come to the field on an as needed basis. Flexibility is important because of peak project needs and the need for employees to take vacation or sick leave. BG’s full time inspectors are always in the field. They work together to fill each others peak inspection needs as their own projects will allow. The part time inspectors work during the construction season as they are needed. They are retired from their government positions, so they appreciate being off when their assigned projects are completed.

Flexibility and development of staff experience comes from young technicians who take LPA courses from the KSU Technical School in Salina and learn on the job as they provide assistance to the Project Managers. Again, flexibility comes from our young engineering graduates who work in the field on an as needed basis.

We employ many experienced individuals qualified to perform LPA work for our municipal and county clients. We have provided qualified staff for many previous bridge, highway and street improvements. These inspectors, as well as our on-site engineers provide a valuable asset to our clients, by being the knowledgeable local representative overseeing the materials and construction methods used by the contractor for the project.

Proposal for Construction Engineering Services for Project Number 26 C-0370-01 in Ellis County, Kansas Project Approach

Construction Engineering (cont.):

Our approach to the project is to provide the County with experience and exceptional service by providing responsive consulting services. The proposed BG staff will work directly with County staff to keep them informed of the construction progress and project developments during construction.

Our Project Team’s approach will focus around three key areas for this project. These three key areas will be Project Administration, Project Management/Inspection, and Local Project Support.

Mr. Tom Bennett, P.E. will serve as the Project Administrator. He is a registered professional engineer who has been with BG Consultants, Inc. for over 33 years. Mr. Bennett is the company’s Construction Administration Manager, overseeing all inspectors and construction engineering projects at BG.

Enclosed are resumes of key inspectors who may be involved in this project. Also included are sample rating sheets from the KDOT on previous projects that each inspector completed. This project will fit into our schedule nicely. Finally, BG Consultants, Inc. will be able to handle the supplemental project support through our local office here in Emporia. Administration issues or progress meetings can be held in our local office and additional staff needed for the project can be utilized through this office, either through our E.I.T. or our local technician who is KDOT certified in many various areas.

We believe our team of professionals will provide the technical expertise and personal service that the County can rely on. Our inspectors are cognizant to represent the County’s interests as they administer the project. The County deserves a firm that will provide experience and flexibility to make this a successful project.

IV.

During the existence of this agreement, Lessor agrees that permission shall not be granted to any third party for the installation or use of radio or any other equipment on
