Ayes: All. Motion carried. ______(discussion was held on the above) b.14 JOURNAL ENTRYIn the matter of amending Res #10-556 on August 11, 2010 ) changing the original purchaser of bonds as authorized in ) December 2, 2010 general obligation justice center bonds, series 2002 )County Administrator James R. Cordes said he was on the phone this past Monday for about 4 hours in discussions with Fitches and Moody’s regarding county financing conditions. They look at not just county fiscal health of revenues and expenses but they also look at county employment, unemployment, etc and this determines the ratings. This was the most difficult conversations he has had within them within the last 10 years with regards to future outcome. He did get a comfortable feeling towards the end of the conversations with regards to how the Board has pushed down expenditures and move forward with the resource to continue to provide mandated services to the county. This to them looked positive because in 2008 strategic cuts were made but spending was more than anticipated and this was because there was deep cuts, revenue feel and had lots of trailing costs. The Commissioners continue to manage aggressively on the county finances and this makes a difference in ratings. He should have some reports from them within the next 2 weeks and will see if we will continue to be on a watch with Moody’s and downgrade from Fitches. In relation to the amendment resolution the county is looking at par out on the outstanding justice center debt and save cash on debt payment over the next 12 years. He is looking to sell before end of year and hope to save around $6-700,000 up to $1 million because all the recovery bonds have to hit the market by end of year. Commissioner Kalo said the county could also look at returning out the 13 year to 20 year to have less outlay of cash each year. County Administrator Cordes said the county could take bonds out to mature 20 years, original bonds were 20 years and issued for 30 years so we could still get a 10 year period of bonds and reduce debt service around $350,000/year but would require resetting of the inside mileage. The inside mileage is set to pay the debt service first and then money could come to the general fund for operations. Commissioner Kokoski said not sure about inside mileage. Commissioner Kalo said the inside mileage is set back the debt. County Administrator Cordes said it is the unvoted 10 mills that was enacted several years ago and the county is the 87th lowest of all 88 counties of inside mileage dedicated to operations and can not change because it is a legislative function. Each year in October the county pays the debt service and all outstanding notes before any of the inside mileage is taken to operations. Commissioner Kokoski said CCAO provided information regarding the Veterans Service and inside mileage and she looked at TB Clinic.174 County Administrator Cordes said TB Clinic is not inside mileage this is a levy it is up in 2012. County Administrator Cordes said the state legislators passed several years ago called a “levy” up to a certain mileage to support Veterans Service, but actually the counties are to give the Veterans Service a portion of the inside mileage, there is not actually levy or tax, and with the need increasing, therefore the amount of money for inside mileage continues to shrink, there is no special tax, it is an unfunded mandate. The county has to reduce the county’s cost in order to provide funding to them. Commissioner Kokoski said how this is amended; Commissioner Kalo said it is discussed several times in the state. Commissioner Kokoski said the amendment to resolution is changing original purchase of bonds. County Administrator Cordes said Joseph Robertson was with RBC and is now with Ross, St. Claire this is the change. County Administrator said the change is needed because this was started 2 years ago and then the market crashed so nothing was done and Mr. Robertson changed and he is the most familiar with the issue. Commissioner Kokoski asked if the county could look at different people in the future, County Administrator Cordes said whatever the board’s pleasure is. Discussion continued and the following resolution was adopted:RESOLUTION NO. 10-838The Board of County Commissioners (the “Board”) of the County of Lorain, Ohio, met in regular session on the 1st day of December, 2010, with the following members present:Commissioner Betty Blair, President Commissioner Ted Kalo, Vice-President Commissioner Lori Kokoski, MemberCommissioner Blair moved the adoption of the following resolution and Commissioner Kokoski seconded the motion.RESOLUTION NO. 10 -838A RESOLUTION AMENDING RESOLUTION NO. 10-566, ADOPTED BY THE BOARD ON AUGUST 11, 2010, TO CHANGE THE ORIGINAL PURCHASER OF THE BONDS AUTHORIZED IN RESOLUTION NO. 10-566.NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of County Commissioners of the County of Lorain, State of Ohio, that:Section 1.

COMMISSIONERS REPORTCommissioner Kokoski attended Team Lorain County this morning to recognize Commissioner Blair and she was not present and she will have some good info to share next week.Commissioner Kalo gave his condolences to family of former Commissioner Jim Keron who passed away November 24, age 86 Commissioner Kalo said the comments from the budget hearings held last week, County Auditor Stewart mentioned in the past prior to this board when cuts were instituted, no cuts in personnel, pers or any payroll it was cut in other line items, but the Board at that time reinstated all the cuts. County Administrator Cordes said cuts were made, budgets were reviewed and then the funding was restored. Commissioner Kalo said when the budgets were discussed in the past weeks, Commissioner Kokoski stated to cut 10% from salaries and the other line items would not be a major savings. County Administrator Cordes said budgets were restored because the departments struggled but with line items there are fixed cuts for example like the maintenance for the elevators and we could cut but what elevator would be shut down, just like leases, rents, utilities, etc. He stated the energy conservation is starting to show a return on the savings in utilities, supplies could be cut. He stated that Budget Director Hobart has meet with a company to do an analysis for cost savings on supplies and do a county store/centralized purchasing but this would require all county departments to get on board. The county has saved on paper cost by buying on demand rather than bidding out and there are still two more machines being leased in office service and this will be up in 2 moths. Commissioner Blair said the county has given lump sum to elected officials and they are to fit within their budget as they see fit, Commissioner Kalo said the board has never rejected transfers. County Administrator Cordes said the county has given global numbers and the county departments need to reconfigure their budgets to live within.Commissioner Blair commended Commissioner Kalo that has been member on CCAO and suggested changes in the code of regulations and will be presented at winter conference this upcoming week.
