GENERAL DISCUSSION

Presiding Commissioner Miskel reported as a follow‑up to last week’s minutes regarding community service workers; he contacted Hermann City Administrator Mark Wallace and asked for their consideration in taking over the workers that are charged within the city limits and Administrator Wallace said he will take the request to the city attorney. Commissioner Lairmore said now that Owensville City Hall has opened back up after their shutdown due to COVID‑19, he will ask them the same question.

Commissioner Holland had some questions after reviewing warrants for payment regarding what he considered excessive charges for a printer set up and for the fire alarm panel testing process; Clerk Lietzow said she had already called about the fire alarm panel invoice because she questioned it also, but did not get any satisfaction so he will make a call too.

Commissioner Lairmore said he is meeting with EMD Dan Dyer today to clean out the mobile command post that the county has for sale online with Purple Wave; anything worth keeping will be stored until sold. Clerk Lietzow had spoke with Director Dyer about the panic button test and he suggested custodian should be able to go around the building to each office, find each button, change the battery and then test to be sure Hermann PD receives the signal. Presiding Commissioner Miskel suggested scheduling with them in advance so it is not a busy time.
