TUESDAY, JUNE 12, 2012
The Franklin County Commissioners met Tuesday, June 12, 2012, with the following
members present: David S. Keller, Robert L. Thomas and Robert G. Ziobrowski. Chairman
Keller presided and after calling the meeting to order, and the Pledge of Allegiance proceeded
with the business of the day.
Chairman Keller asked to amend the agenda to include Chairman’s time to address a
question during a previous meeting. On a motion by Robert G. Ziobrowski; seconded by Robert
L. Thomas; unanimously approved to adopt the amended agenda.
Chairman Keller wanted to address Mr. Piper’s question from a previous meeting in
regards to the Macwell Connectivity Project. The Board has expressed support for the project
but no funds have been allocated.
Ken Jones provided public comment and mentioned the moment of silence the Board
held last week in honor of the D-day invasion. He asked if this hurt at all and why can’t a
moment of silence be included at each meeting. Mr. Jones also asked who sets up the board
action listing and read a paragraph about the supplemental appropriation that seemed confusing
to him.
Allen Piper provided public comment and had a question relating to what a duress
transmitter is at the Jail that is listed on the board action list. He is trying to interpret what the
terms mean because they are not in layman’s terms. Mr. Piper is not trying to reprimand but he
was embarrassed about Mr. Ziobrowski’s remarks to Carol Diller at the Salary Board meeting
last week. He felt it was out of hand, not professional and it was embarrassing. The Chairman
is to be in charge of the meeting and he needs to control that type of action.
The minutes of June 5, 2012 and June 7, 2012 meetings were reviewed. These will be
approved Thursday, June 14, 2012.
The Board reviewed Agreements, Contracts and Reports. Chairman Keller asked Mr.
Hart to provide more details about the duress transmitter and to explain the supplemental
appropriation Mr. Jones mentioned during his public comment and Mr. Hart provided more
information on these items. Chairman Keller read the PCard resolution. The Board described
the PCard program and after a brief discussion will approve the policy and resolution on
Thursday. All items will be approved Thursday, June 14, 2012.
The meeting was adjourned at 9:59 a.m. with a motion by Robert G. Ziobrowski;
seconded by Robert L. Thomas.
