[0:03] I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, to the

[0:07] republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and

[0:13] justice for all her citizens.

[0:22] » Um before we start the meeting, um Rod Johnson, would you like to

[0:27] » Yep. Thank you. >> We have a

[0:31] special thing to announce.

[0:35] » Everybody come on in.

[0:50] So, my name is Rod Johnson. I'm the fire chief here in Milan.

[0:54] We wanted to take a second tonight and recognize somebody that has done

[1:01] something very special in our town.

[1:04] I know you're absolutely going to hate me for this, but it would be very well

[1:07] deserved, I think. So, So, uh Terry, would you Would you please

[1:12] stand up? How about you just stand up out in the hallway, if you please?

[1:17] So, tonight we're going to recognize Terry for his

[1:21] actions on July 15th in the morning.

[1:26] That morning, we were dispatched out to a

[1:29] working structure fire at the apartments back on Maple Street.

[1:34] Upon arriving, we had discovered that Terry had made

[1:38] entry into the apartments and pulled a victim out.

[1:43] This morning, I talked with our county dispatch.

[1:48] Terry was on scene at 05:59. The first fire engine arrived at 06:06.

[1:55] 7 minutes. 7 minutes he gave a person.

[2:01] Got her out of the conditions. That's 7 minutes this morning.

[2:07] She's still alive. She's still with us. I spoke with the grandson.

[2:12] She is still in the hospital. She is still trying to recover.

[2:16] But one of the things that that makes me

[2:20] so think that Terry's deserving of this is because

[2:24] he gave an individual a chance to stop, to be able to still communicate and talk

[2:30] with their family. So,

[2:32] I know in the interview with the 812, you said you're not a hero.

[2:37] We all volunteer to do this, you know. But your actions that morning were

[2:43] heroic. Now, the door frame didn't survive.

[2:46] I [laughter] will testify that Terry Wilson is one heck of a mule kicker.

[2:53] And the building owner was kind of like, "Holy cow, how do I fix that?" So,

[2:58] the conditions in that apartment that morning were deadly.

[3:02] They were very, very deadly. High heat, smoke, visibility was down to zero.

[3:08] How he found her, where she was located, I have no idea.

[3:12] But he did and he got her out. When I stepped off the engine that

[3:16] morning and started doing my assessment of the scene, I walked up to the front

[3:21] door and I seen a frail person covered in soot

[3:26] on a chair. Very disoriented,

[3:30] very confused.

[3:33] And I seen Terry standing there. He's out of breath.

[3:37] Black smoke and soot on his face. So, so today we have the honor of having the

[3:42] Indiana State Fire Marshal, Marshal Jones. Marshal Jones, would you join us

[3:46] up here? >> Yeah.

[3:47] » We also have from the Indiana Volunteer Firefighters Association

[3:51] our area, or is it district representative District 19

[3:55] representative Ben Sieverding who's also the chief of Versailles Fire and the PR

[9:06] » All right. Um The guys at the firehouse also had Terry

[9:13] didn't want to give him an actual patch to put on his uniform.

[9:16] But we wanted to >> [laughter]

[9:22] » So, we wanted to give this to Terry. Now, one thing [snorts] I will say, like

[9:26] Marshall Jones was saying, there's

[9:30] uh it's been here about three or four months ago. We got us new subdivision

[9:34] out south of Mayland on county road.

[9:37] Um we got called out for a fire alarm there

[9:40] that morning. One morning, we was out there trying to

[9:43] find the residence. Um you know, as the the roads grow, and

[9:47] there was a little gray car parked out there.

[9:51] And I looked at my engineer and I said, "Well, what's this idiot doing?" And

[9:54] then all of a sudden, he comes walking out of the edge of the driveway.

[9:57] We would have never seen the driveway, you know, cuz you know, the big fire

[10:01] trucks, you're trying not to pull them in where you can't get them out. But

[10:04] that's something that I do notice about you and your group.

[10:07] You guys are always at our fires. If there is an officer on duty, they're at

[10:11] our fires. Now, [snorts] I give them a lot of flak about being in our way and

[10:15] stuff like that, but it makes our jobs a lot easier

[10:19] when we can see the police cars there. They're giving us

[10:24] information, you know. It's It's all community.

[10:27] » Small town Indiana. >> Absolutely. So, Terry, thank you.

[10:33] » [applause]

[10:38] » Um want to recognize one more person

[10:41] tonight. Big Mac, why don't you get your butt up here,

[10:44] bud?

[10:47] This is Bryce Blackburn. So, Bryce lives in the apartment

[10:52] building

[10:55] that we had the fire in Terry pulled the lady out of.

[10:58] Now, Bryce, I want to tell you that I didn't know the morning of because of

[11:01] everything that was going on, but I later found out some of the some of the

[11:04] residents. Bryce lives up on a third floor.

[11:09] As Bryce was evacuating with his family, Bryce took the time to

[11:14] knock on all the apartment doors

[11:17] to make sure that everybody got out. And what a relief of a feeling when we

[11:23] rolled the fire engine into the parking lot and I seen all the residents out and

[11:27] huddled off to the side. I knew we didn't have to waste time searching

[11:31] for more people. So, Bryce, for your courage on that day,

[11:36] Milan Volunteer Fire Department would like to recognize you.

[11:39] And did Mom and Dad give you the tax line?

[11:42] I told Mom and Dad to get him to the town board meeting

[11:45] and tell him that the town board was going to pass a tax on ice cream cuz he

[11:48] works at Dairy Queen. >> [laughter]

[11:52] » YOU'RE WELCOME. >> [applause]

[12:02] » I WANT TO THANK YOU GUYS FOR ALLOWING US TO DO THIS up here tonight. We greatly

[12:06] appreciate it. >> And we're not done.

[12:44] recognition of their bravery, and whereas, the Milan Volunteer Fire

[21:32] » Uh you were ready to approve it last month and I wasn't sure we had the final

[22:42] Uh no new business. Public items. Erin Thomas.

[22:49] Lifetime Resources. >> Hello.

[22:52] Um Erin Thomas, executive director of Lifetime Resources.

[22:55] Nice to see you all again. Um as I'm sure you are all aware, um we are

[23:00] the area agency on aging and we provide a variety of services um ultimately

[23:04] aimed at helping people maintain their independence.

[23:06] Um not only is that where people prefer to

[23:09] be, but it's also the most cost-effective form of care when we can

[23:11] take someone in for a few hours a day or maybe every other day, something like

[23:15] that, in comparison to a 24-hour nursing facility stay. So, our average care plan

[23:20] is in the $300 range and, you know, the average month stay in a nursing facility

[23:25] is over $8,500. Um so, those services are things like

[23:30] home-delivered meals and help with activities of daily living. So, things

[23:34] like cooking, cleaning, bathing, transfers, um help with durable medical

[23:38] equipment, home modifications, just lots of different things

[23:42] that we can help with. Um we also do a lot of health and wellness programs. We

[23:45] have a guardianship program. We have congregate meal sites where um folks can

[23:51] go and have a a hot day a hot meal on a daily basis and we bring in activities

[23:56] and sometimes there's music or sometimes we bring in um

[24:00] various different community organizations and things like that to

[24:03] educate folks. Um and then we also operate

[24:06] Catch-A-Ride, which is a six-county public transportation service available

[24:10] to anyone for any purpose. Um and we also have contracts with all of the

[24:15] non-emergent medical transportation brokers, which means that anyone who

[24:19] needs transportation just to a doctor's appointment or dialysis or something

[24:22] like that um doesn't have to pay out of pocket. They can charge that off to

[24:25] their insurance um under Medicaid or whatever managed care um

[24:30] plan they may be under. Um so, sorry, I realized I gave you my

[24:35] information there and I didn't have a copy for myself. So,

[24:38] um Ripley County's budget is about $1.2

[24:41] million. Our request um is for $1,000, which is less than less than 1% of that

[24:46] budget. Um what the funding does is it helps us to uh match a lot of the

[24:52] various funded >> Okay.

[24:53] » I have it on here. I just didn't realize you had to put my budget um

[24:56] it just allows us to match uh a variety of different grants that we have. So,

[25:01] for example, Catch a Ride's operational grant requires a 100% match.

[25:06] Some of the other ones are 15, 20%. It just They all vary. So,

[25:11] that's what the money goes towards. I do actually have some Milan specific

[25:15] information here as well. Just to give you an idea,

[25:20] we had 64 Milan residents receive case management services um, over 1,100

[25:26] units. 30 individuals utilized transportation,

[25:32] 941 trips.

[25:36] We had some individuals get caregiver respite services,

[25:42] over 1,300 home delivered meals. So, those are just a few just just to let

[25:46] you know specifically Milan residents are receiving

[25:50] services. And I'm happy to answer any questions

[25:53] and otherwise I just thank you for your consideration.

[25:58] » I've seen you a couple of times in there.

[26:01] And I think it's a great service, so I have

[26:03] no questions. I don't know if Milan might be the newest to your list.

[26:08] » Up in there. >> Okay.

[26:11] Just need a motion to um,

[26:13] I guess do the donation that we typically do and that's
