The Posey County Commissioners meeting was headlined by the return of Commissioner Scott Moye after a medication-induced stroke.

The meeting was then called to order and Commissioner Jim Alsop retained his duty to preside over the meeting.

The first item on the agenda was a request from RATIO Architecture for use of the GIS system to complete its work for the comprehensive plan.

Commissioner John Sherretz said the only problem he had was that they should not get it for free. He said that the county has a $750 fee for that information and that the money helps pay for the maintenance fee.

The commissioners will send the firm an agreement. Once that is signed and returned, along with the fee, the board will provide the GIS information requested.

The commissioners also discussed the 17 leaks on the roof of the coliseum. The roof is still under warranty.

Industrial Contractors did the repair work previously. They said they will provide the county with a statement for what was and what was not covered under the warranty, which is up in August.

The cap around the roof is also leaking. The county commissioners have asked for a quote on recapping the whole building.

The commissioners also discussed surplus equipment. SRI made rounds recently looking at equipment the county wanted to get rid of. The representative reportedly took filing cabinets and said he was going to put them on eBay for 10 days.

Four cars were also added to the list to be sold, while old computers will be disposed of properly.

County clerk Donna Butler then spoke to the commissioners about telephone matters.

She said there is a phone line in the clerk’s office that Butler needs to have one jack deactivated and one jack activated for the Election Office.

Chief deputy recorder Martha Breeze asked the commissioners asked for a line or a jack in the room with the new scanner for equipment support.

County surveyor Paul Breeze then spoke up and said that since switching to AT&T, his call waiting feature does not work properly.

Sherretz asked about Butler’s using the Perpetuation Fund to pay for the work on the phone lines.

Butler then asked about Internet service for the clerk’s office and voter registration. She said the clerk’s office needs the service for child support and matters with the state, while the election office needs it for voter registration matters.

She said she also needs a new computer monitor. This will be paid for out of the Perpetuation Fund.
