County Administrator/Controller’s Report

FY 2004/2005 Amended Health Department Budget and Staffing Plan

Health Officer Heidi Oberlin addressed revenue and expenditure changes provided in her cover memorandum; and advised that the Department was able to carry over funds from the Healthy Communities Access Program, reprogram and continue with the work from year one. Ms. Oberlin advised that there was state funding reduction to the Hearing and Vision Screening Program which the Department was able to pretty much absorb with a staffing change; however that unfortunately, the reduction did result in decreased services towards the end of the school year. Ms. Oberlin stated that as the Program goes into the summer the pre-school screenings will have to be done with only half the staff, and that the Department still does not know whether the Program will be preserved after October 1. Ms. Oberlin advised that the Department is looking at some other sites and shall employ as many techniques as possible to do more group screenings so as not to compromise the quality of the Program.

Ms. Oberlin reported that there were some other funding changes within the Emergency Preparedness Program and a small change within the Breast and Cervical Cancer Screening Program. Ms. Oberlin stated that there were some increases, one being within the W.I.C. Program allowing the Department to allocate the lease for Albion, pay for renovations and create a couple of part time positions within the W.I.C. Program. Ms. Oberlin further advised that because of some increases in the grant funds, the Department was able to adjust the staffing in the Care Source area.

Res. 86-2005

“Motion by Comr. Segal, supported by Comr. Solis, adopt the following: Resolved by the Calhoun County Board of Commissioners approve the amended FY 2004/2005 Health Department budget and staffing plan, as recommended by the Board of Health.”

Haley vs. Norlander Lawsuit Estimated Legal Fees and Costs

County Administrator/Controller Greg Purcell advised that the Board Chairman and Commissioner Moore requested he do some review of estimated legal fees and costs for the litigation of Haley versus Norlander. Mr. Purcell advised that the estimated fees and costs for Miller, Canfield, Paddock and Stone are $67,750, and the estimated settlement cost is $30,000 for a total of $97,750.

Mr. Purcell stated that the Clerk specifically requested he advise the Commission that she has been raising contributions to cover some the cost, and at this point has raised $8,000 from the County Clerks Association and the Municipal Clerks Association. Mr. Purcell pointed out that there also have been in-house costs of the General Counsel’s time as well, and thanked Atty. Mullett for taking the initiative to assist in resolving the issue.

Comr. Moore stated that this settlement is particularly troubling to him, because this Board discussed this case at great length as far back as the first Board Retreat in March and made at least two attempts to resolve this issue to no avail. Comr. Moore questioned what changed from that time to the current date of settlement, and submitted that nothing changed, that the only ones that made out in this case were the attorneys. Comr. Moore stated that this whole sordid mess just irritates him to no end, pointing out that the Board heard at least two or more times that the lawsuit was all about doing what was right for the taxpayers; and in the end all the taxpayers got was a bill.

Comr. Moore further stated that another thing that disturbs him is that Calhoun County was left holding the bag for the entire cost of the lawsuit while there were other parties to the suit that could have been held liable; and that it is interesting to him that when there was the potential that those others could be enjoined in the case and their budgets could be potentially tapped, suddenly the log jam regarding settlement was broken. Comr. Moore pointed out that now the county will not have almost $100,000 that should have gone to fund other services.

Comr. Moore thanked Atty. Mullett for her work, and the Clerk for raising funds to help offset the cost.

Comr. Bolger echoed Commissioner Moore’s frustration. Comr. Bolger also thanked Atty. Mullett for her work and constant drive to put the case to bed on behalf of the taxpayers.

Chairman Miller echoed both Commissioners’ comments and expressed his disappointment that the county taxpayers have been stuck with the bill. Chairman Miller expressed his appreciation to Atty. Mullett for all her work on the case.

CITIZENS’ TIME:

Mr. Gardy Berezonsky, Marengo Township resident, addressed the Board regarding Sheridan Township’s proposed ethanol plant, advising that the Township has not conducted a public hearing yet because they have not followed the proper procedure in publishing notice of their meetings.

COMMISSIONERS’ TIME:

Comr. Segal reminded Board members that next Friday is the Juvenile Home Golf Outing, and encouraged everyone to attend.

Comr. Segal announced that next Saturday is the World’s Longest Breakfast Table in downtown Battle Creek and encouraged everyone to attend.

Comr. Moore wished Veterans Service Officer Jude Lonergan a happy birthday.

Chairman Miller announced that the Beans and Corn Bread Celebration is this Saturday at the Upton Avenue Original Church of God from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Chairman Miller advised that the N.A.A.C.P. fund raiser is for the Youth Program, and encouraged everyone to attend.

Chairman Miller also wished Ms. Lonergan a happy birthday.
