Keller; unanimously approved to adopt the agenda.
Ken Jones provided public comment and asked about board action item #1,
Children & Youth report showing a total of $4,150,212.00 but it says revenues and
expenditures which are opposite sides. He’s not sure how get a total of the two. Mr.
Jones also questioned item #2, Amendment #4 with CGL, he would like to know what
the three previous amendments were and he would like an explanation of this
amendment.
Commissioner Thomas entered the meeting room at 9:37 a.m.
The minutes of February 5, 2013 and February 7, 2013 meetings were reviewed.
These will be approved Thursday, February 14, 2013.
The Board reviewed Agreements, Contracts and Reports. Chairman Keller
asked John Hart, County Administrator to explain item #2, the amendment with CGL.
Mr. Hart explained this contract is a maintenance contract to provide staff and expertise
for maintenance of buildings. This is the first increase since 2008. This contract
includes eight positions that self-perform a lot of work which eliminates outside vendors
and saves the County $200,000-$250,000 per year. This amendment only increases the
fee. Mr. Hart explained two of the other amendments to answer Mr. Jones question but
he will have to research the third amendment. Commissioner Thomas explained that he
was on Board when signed the initial contract with CGL and how a lot of money has
been saved by self-performing and bringing the expertise in-house. This is a benefit to
the County and is a lot of money but we have a lot of buildings to look after. Chairman
Keller said item #1, Children & Youth report is both expenditures and revenues and they
match up and have to account to the Commonwealth how much was spent. Mr. Hart
responded that Children & Youth have to justify expenditures and reimbursements which
is a state requirement to submit all the different funds and identify eligible expenses.
Commissioner Thomas commented that item #4, agreement with Waynesboro New
Hope Shelter is a new contract and he is glad to see this in Waynesboro because it is a
good thing. Mr. Hart responded this is a new agreement to provide forensic housing and
to include counseling to help make former prisoners successful in the community and
give them life skills. Some are getting out of jail and have no home plans or support in
the community. All items will be approved Thursday, February 14, 2013.
