Department Head updates: E-911 Director Chris Fee and Sheriff Mellick informed all about Senate File 659 which passed last week regarding 911; the bill has vague language saying the state 911 can request “reasonable” amounts from local 911 boards; “reasonable” is open ended; the prior bill that died would have resulted in about $40,000 that county would not have received; there is a press conference today and a request will be made to the governor to line-veto this part of the bill. Mellick and Fee expressed their concerns about the impact on local budgets and what the long-term goal of the state is regarding 911. Corey Snitker spoke about the Black Hawk bridge closure due to tremor sensors being activated; May 28 Community Foundation meeting; weather update. Sheriff Mellick informed Supervisors about the homicide trial starting this week; getting new patrol boat ready to go in water. Auditor Beyer gave department update.
25.190-Motion Clark/Second Keatley to adjourn. Motion carried.
