ITEM #1 – PUBLIC COMMENTS

Leonard Stalnaker, Clerk of Sycamore Township, thanked the Commissioners for repairing Flint Hills Road. Mr. Stalnaker asked the Commissioners when the striping of 150^th would be completed. He and other citizens present also asked how long the chip sealing work being done on the roads in and around Cassoday would last.

Commissioners told Mr. Stalnaker they would check with Darryl Lutz, County Public Works Director, on those issues.

ITEM #2– ITEMS OF MUTUAL CONCERN BETWEEN THE CITY OF CASSODAY AND BUTLER COUNTY

Mayor Donald Rommelfanger approached the Commissioners about performing building inspections in Cassoday and also inquired about the County helping with dangerous structure enforcement in the City. After some lengthy discussion, Commissioners asked staff to work with the City of Cassoday to create a contract between the City and the County for building inspection services. The Commissioners felt the City of Cassoday needed to determine how they wanted to handle dangerous structure enforcement. Commissioners added that the County may be able to advise the City on some procedural aspects of dangerous structure enforcement, however any extensive structural analysis on a dangerous structure would have to come from a professional engineering firm.

OTHER ITEMS OF BUSINESS

Sue Harsh of the Butler County Health Department discussed some of the tobacco education advertising done by the Butler County Health Department in school newspapers, school sports programs, and school yearbooks around the County. She informed the Commissioners that it was a very effective way of informing the public and particularly high school aged kids about the dangers of tobacco use. Sue stated that each school district in Butler County had been contacted and agreed to place the advertisements in one of their school publications.

ADJOURNMENT

Commissioner Waldorf motioned to adjourn the meeting at 7:36 p.m. Commissioner Doll seconded the motion. Motion carried 4-0.
