1
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:10,760
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the
United States of America, to the

2
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:17,600
republic for which it stands, one nation
under God, indivisible, with liberty and

3
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:17,600
justice for all her citizens.

4
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:30,320
» Um before we start the meeting,
um Rod Johnson, would you like to

5
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:34,040
» Yep. Thank you.
>> We have a

6
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:34,040
special thing to announce.

7
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:38,680
» Everybody come on in.

8
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:58,200
So, my name is Rod Johnson. I'm the fire
chief here in Milan.

9
00:00:54,480 --> 00:01:03,080
We wanted to take a second tonight
and recognize somebody that has done

10
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:06,080
something very special
in our town.

11
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:10,880
I know you're absolutely going to hate
me for this, but it would be very well

12
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:14,320
deserved, I think. So,
So, uh Terry, would you Would you please

13
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:17,240
stand up? How about you just stand up
out in the hallway, if you please?

14
00:01:17,320 --> 00:01:24,920
So, tonight
we're going to recognize Terry for his

15
00:01:21,960 --> 00:01:28,360
actions on July 15th
in the morning.

16
00:01:26,320 --> 00:01:32,080
That morning, we were dispatched out to
a

17
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:36,640
working structure fire at the apartments
back on Maple Street.

18
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:41,000
Upon arriving,
we had discovered that Terry had made

19
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:45,600
entry into
the apartments and pulled a victim out.

20
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:52,040
This morning,
I talked with our county dispatch.

21
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:57,720
Terry was on scene at 05:59.
The first fire engine arrived at 06:06.

22
00:01:55,480 --> 00:02:04,920
7 minutes.
7 minutes he gave a person.

23
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:09,759
Got her out of the conditions.
That's 7 minutes this morning.

24
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:14,440
She's still alive. She's still with us.
I spoke with the grandson.

25
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:20,680
She is still in the hospital. She is
still trying to recover.

26
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:20,680
But one of the things that that makes me

27
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:28,520
so think that Terry's deserving of this
is because

28
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:31,600
he gave an individual a chance to stop,
to be able to still communicate and talk

29
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:34,320
with their family.
So,

30
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:37,480
I know in the interview with the 812,
you said you're not a hero.

31
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:44,280
We all volunteer to do this, you know.
But your actions that morning were

32
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:49,280
heroic.
Now, the door frame didn't survive.

33
00:02:46,920 --> 00:02:55,000
I [laughter] will testify that Terry
Wilson is one heck of a mule kicker.

34
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:59,600
And the building owner was kind of like,
"Holy cow, how do I fix that?" So,

35
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:04,519
the conditions in that apartment that
morning were deadly.

36
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:09,800
They were very, very deadly. High heat,
smoke, visibility was down to zero.

37
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:15,519
How he found her,
where she was located, I have no idea.

38
00:03:12,959 --> 00:03:19,440
But he did and he got her out.
When I stepped off the engine that

39
00:03:16,959 --> 00:03:25,080
morning and started doing my assessment
of the scene, I walked up to the front

40
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:28,239
door and I seen a frail person covered
in soot

41
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:31,880
on a chair.
Very disoriented,

42
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:35,480
very
confused.

43
00:03:33,519 --> 00:03:40,440
And I seen Terry standing there. He's
out of breath.

44
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:44,720
Black smoke and soot on his face. So,
so today we have the honor of having the

45
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:47,120
Indiana State Fire Marshal, Marshal
Jones. Marshal Jones, would you join us

46

Uh

00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:46,040
police officers to do things. They wait
for the firemen.

99
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:50,240
Small town Indiana,

00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,781
the way.

120
00:09:03,001 --> 00:09:05,021
[laughter]

121
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:12,040
» All right. Um
The guys at the firehouse also had Terry

122
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:14,800
a flight made.
It's got our station patch on it. We

123
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:19,376
didn't want to give him an actual patch
to put on his uniform.

124
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:21,396
But we wanted to
>> [laughter]

125
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:29,680
» So, we wanted to give this to Terry.
Now, one thing [snorts] I will say, like

126
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:32,040
Marshall Jones was saying,
there's

127
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:36,000
uh it's been here about three or four
months ago. We got us new subdivision

128
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:38,760
out south of Mayland
on county road.

129
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,720
Um
we got called out for a fire alarm there

130
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:45,120
that morning.
One morning, we was out there trying to

131
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:49,400
find the residence.
Um you know, as the the roads grow, and

132
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:52,640
there was a little gray car parked out
there.

133
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:55,640
And I looked at my engineer and I said,
"Well, what's this idiot doing?" And

134
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:59,680
then all of a sudden, he comes walking
out of the edge of the driveway.

135
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:02,280
We would have never seen the driveway,
you know, cuz you know, the big fire

136
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:06,080
trucks, you're trying not to pull them
in where you can't get them out. But

137
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:09,600
that's something that I do notice about
you and your group.

138
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:13,000
You guys are always at our fires. If
there is an officer on duty, they're at

139
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:18,000
our fires. Now, [snorts] I give them a
lot of flak about being in our way and

140
00:10:15,560 --> 00:10:21,600
stuff like that, but it makes our jobs a
lot easier

141
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:26,840
when we can see
the police cars there. They're giving us

142
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:29,080
information, you know. It's It's all
community.

143
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:35,412
» Small town Indiana.
>> Absolutely. So, Terry, thank you.

144
00:10:33,392 --> 00:10:35,412
» [applause]

145
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:43,800
» Um
want to recognize one more person

146
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:47,040
tonight. Big Mac,
why don't you get your butt up here,

147
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,040
bud?

148
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:55,000
This is Bryce Blackburn.
So, Bryce lives in the apartment

149
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,000
building

150
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:59,480
that we had the fire in Terry pulled the
lady out of.

151
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:03,240
Now, Bryce, I want to tell you that I
didn't know the morning of because of

152
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:06,480
everything that was going on, but I
later found out some of the some of the

153
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:11,920
residents.
Bryce lives up on a third floor.

154
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:15,960
As Bryce was evacuating
with his family, Bryce took the time to

155
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:20,520
knock
on all the apartment doors

156
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:25,080
to make sure that everybody got out.
And what a relief of a feeling when we

157
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:29,200
rolled the fire engine into the parking
lot and I seen all the residents out and

158
00:11:27,839 --> 00:11:33,320
huddled off to the side. I knew we
didn't have to waste time searching

159
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:37,400
for more people.
So, Bryce, for your courage on that day,

160
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:41,240
Milan Volunteer Fire Department would
like to recognize you.

161
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:44,040
And did Mom and Dad give you the tax
line?

162
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:47,200

» We uh by the way we did individual lots
for the brass fittings.

203
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:04,440
Uh we replaced the service line on Wood
Street and

204
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:08,920
uh we ran a 2-in service line to two
houses.

205
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:11,280
And then we located a major leak at that
location.

206
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:16,160
It's uh
it was 18 to 20 gallons a minute,

207
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:19,800
which adds up to
700,000 gallons a month.

208
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:28,680
And then
we got out here we got

209
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:28,680
we're replacing this 6-in main out here

210
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:34,800
and there's a major leak on it.
So

211
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:42,280
loss of water.

212
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:51,400
Took the chlorine test today and then
I'll do it tomorrow and then um

213
00:16:47,839 --> 00:16:55,120
it pressurized the line to 50 psi for 20
minutes and that passed.

214
00:16:54,080 --> 00:17:01,800
Um
we need to make a street list for the

215
00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:04,000

Um

216
00:17:04,199 --> 00:17:09,199

Oh. is going to start the

Cuz they're still in
the specials right

223
00:17:28,319 --> 00:17:34,240
And then I was thinking about the street
grindings. That can come off of the

224
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:37,840
street.
If you want to put them in the parking

225
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:40,720
lot of the park.
That we got.

226

00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:53,880
» Right.
>> Something to think about, you know, just

00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,760
» I think we just do it. They can do that.
>> idea.

232
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:57,280
» Right. We don't need the grindings
anywhere.

233
00:17:56,400 --> 00:18:00,720
» Right.
>> It's all right up in the park.

234

00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:41,840
and accepted bids, and then last month
you had approved Pike's bid.

00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:46,120
So, I just formalized basically the bid

It's the
Calvert Ashcroft property.

301
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:29,640
Um so, I just need a motion to go ahead
and dismiss the unsafe building order.

302
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:32,080

307
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:51,360
Uh no new business.
Public items. Erin Thomas.

308
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:53,760
Lifetime Resources.
>> Hello.

309
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:57,720
Um Erin Thomas, executive director of
Lifetime Resources.

310
00:22:55,400 --> 00:23:02,000
Nice to see you all again. Um
as I'm sure you are all aware, um we are

311
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:05,640
the area agency on aging and we provide
a variety of services um ultimately

312
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:08,000
aimed at helping people maintain their
independence.

313
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:10,320
Um
not only is that where people prefer to

314
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:14,360
be, but it's also the most
cost-effective form of care when we can

315
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:17,880
take someone in for a few hours a day
or maybe every other day, something like

316
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:22,560
that, in comparison to a 24-hour nursing
facility stay. So, our average care plan

317
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:26,920
is in the $300 range and, you know, the
average month stay in a nursing facility

318
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:32,360
is over $8,500.
Um so, those services are things like

319
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:35,560
home-delivered meals and help with
activities of daily living. So, things

320
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:41,000
like cooking, cleaning, bathing,
transfers, um help with durable medical

321
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:44,320
equipment, home modifications, just lots
of different things

322
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:48,800
that we can help with. Um we also do a
lot of health and wellness programs. We

323
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:53,680
have a guardianship program. We have
congregate meal sites where um folks can

324
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:58,440
go and have a a hot day a hot meal on a
daily basis and we bring in activities

325
00:23:56,400 --> 00:24:01,680
and sometimes there's music or sometimes
we bring in um

326
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:04,760
various different community
organizations and things like that to

327
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:09,040
educate folks.
Um and then we also operate

328
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:13,600
Catch-A-Ride, which is a six-county
public transportation service available

329
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:17,560
to anyone for any purpose. Um and we
also have contracts with all of the

330
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:21,160
non-emergent medical transportation
brokers, which means that anyone who

331
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:24,520
needs transportation just to a doctor's
appointment or dialysis or something

332
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:27,560
like that um doesn't have to pay out of
pocket. They can charge that off to

333
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:32,400
their insurance um under Medicaid or
whatever managed care um

334
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:36,800
plan they may be under.
Um so, sorry, I realized I gave you my

335
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:39,160
information there and I didn't have a
copy for myself. So,

336
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:44,880
um
Ripley County's budget is about $1.2

337
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:49,280
million. Our request um is for $1,000,
which is less than less than 1% of that

338
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:52,960
budget. Um what the funding does is it
helps us to uh match a lot of the

339
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:54,840
various funded
>> Okay.

340
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:59,760
» I have it on here. I just didn't realize
you had to put my budget um

341
00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:03,080
it just allows us to match uh a variety
of different grants that we have. So,

342
00:25:01,120 --> 00:25:09,480
for example, Catch a Ride's
operational grant requires a 100% match.

343
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:13,720
Some of the other ones are 15, 20%. It
just They all vary. So,

344
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:18,320
that's what the money goes towards. I do
actually have some Milan specific

345
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:24,160
information here as well.
Just to give you an idea,

346
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:29,160
we had 64 Milan residents receive case
management services um, over 1,100

347
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:36,000
units.
30 individuals utilized transportation,

348
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:36,000
941 trips.

349
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:44,560
We had some individuals get caregiver
respite services,

350
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:48,000
over 1,300 home delivered meals. So,
those are just a few just just to let

351
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:51,600
you know specifically Milan residents
are receiving

352
00:25:50,120 --> 00:25:55,480
services.
And I'm happy to answer any questions

353
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:58,200
and otherwise I just thank you for your
consideration.

354
00:25:58,360 --> 00:26:02,160
» I've seen you a couple of times in
there.

355
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:05,840
And
I think it's a great service, so I have

356
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:09,120
no questions. I don't know if Milan
might be the newest to your list.

357
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:13,040
» Up in there.
>> Okay.

358
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:16,200
Just need a motion to

359
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:19,480

360
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:21,680

No

380
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:32,080
» Are you talking about the agenda that

00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:34,840
talking about the agenda that's from the

Just all I asked.

388
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:53,880
» I have a question. What is the
ratification of the interlocal agreement

389
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:55,840
with the county?
>> The interlocal agreement?

390
00:27:54,920 --> 00:28:02,560
» Yeah, what is that?
>> It has to do with their new director

391
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:08,160
um that they hired. Each county Each
town is contributing to his

392
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:10,840
uh to part of help supplement the salary
increase.

393
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:17,040
» And what will this person be doing?
>> Do you know who Tad Brinson was?

394
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:24,160
» No.
>> Um he was the original the previous one.

395
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:26,280
He was basically the person who oversaw
uh

396
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:30,680
» Wait, you mean the zoning?
>> Yeah, the zoning and if you wanted a

397
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:33,400
building permit and all of that kind of
thing.

398
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:38,000
» Okay.
The pipe purchase agreement, how much

399
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:43,480
was the money on that?
>> Um do you have that information?

400
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,480
» $124,635.

401
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:50,280
» Can we [clears throat] ask how much
money Muncie is contributing to that?

402
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:52,840
» To what?
>> How much money are you contributing to

403
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:57,200
this salary?
>> inner local, it was 3,000.

404
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:02,240
Where did I see that on which one of
these papers here?

405
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:10,720
1,800,
I think, $809.

406
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:16,240
And I can tell you that we contribute
more to the economic development person

407
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:20,520
than we do this. And this probably is
going to be most valuable person in the

408
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:25,640
county office, too.
>> or is that a year?

409
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:27,000
» A year, 3,800, about 4,000 a year.
Okay.

410
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:29,640
» Yeah.
Well worth it

411
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:33,880
for what we're getting. Somebody who's
very knowledgeable.

412
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:38,480
» So, how many data centers in
>> I have no idea that you have to talk to

413
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:41,720
the county for that. That's
way above us.

414
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:46,680
» Zero. So, let me ask another question.
What happens when the recorder decides

415
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:49,800
she's retiring or whatever, and they get
another No, hang on. This is This is

416
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:52,360
yours.
And they get another one, and they come

417
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:57,040
to the town and ask
>> have a recorder here.

418
00:29:53,800 --> 00:30:01,440
So, the recorder's office is an elected
official office, so I

419
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:05,880
You guys wouldn't have anything to do
with that. That's

420
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:12,200
Those are county questions. This is This
is So, to kind of put it in context,

421
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:17,120
Muncie participates in area planning,
and so the communities that are

422
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:22,880
participating in the area planning that
this executive director would be

423
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:27,200
basically over, have opted to contribute
a salary to get somebody who

424
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:29,920
was basically Yeah, had a lot of
experience.

425
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:37,440
» Can you Can I ask where he got all that
experience from?

426
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:40,040
» Education, Ball State. Um experience
>> I'm not talking about education. I'm

427
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:43,400
talking about practical.
>> He's worked for Lawrence, the city of

428
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:46,000
Lawrenceburg, also Dillsboro.
>> He worked for Grantville.

429
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:49,120
» Grantville. For Grantville. Right.
>> And worked for Dillsboro.

430
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:51,520
» Okay, then why you asking?
>> Well, the

431
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,800
only reason I'm asking is because I
don't know anything

432
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:58,000
» Well, maybe you do, maybe you don't.
That's really irrelevant to

433
00:30:55,760 --> 00:31:01,240
» No, I'm just I'm just curious why
why you all are hiring.

434
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:03,920
» He's capable of writing grants and doing
a lot more than the previous

435
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:07,840
» We're not the one that hired him, the
county hired him.

436
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:09,280
» I know, but you also contribute, so you
hired him, too.

437
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:12,000
» Right.
>> I'm not I'm not

438
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:16,120
» We gave him our recommendation. Is there
anything else you would like to ask

439
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:19,000
about about the agenda items?
>> Well, the agenda item I wanted to talk

440
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:21,480
about, unfortunately, I didn't know I
was able to sign up on the week earlier,

441
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:25,560
but
>> All right, I guess we will look for an

442
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:25,560
adjournment then.

443
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:28,600
All in favor?

444
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:39,320
Someone on these Can we get another copy
of this?

445
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:42,160
I don't know if you want to go over
these.

446
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:45,960
I went over them earlier with you.
You don't really want to

447
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:48,200
Um
Um
