The Franklin County Commissioners met Tuesday, October 29, 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, a Moment of Silence,
and the Pledge of Allegiance proceeded with the business of the day.

session to discuss a personnel matter. On a motion by Robert G. Ziobrowski; seconded
by Robert L. Thomas; unanimously approved to adopt the amended agenda.
Kim Wertz provided public comment and had a question on #6, contract with RA
Hill to remove snow from some county buildings. She asked if it would be feasible to
use inmates to clear the snow and the county would own the snow removal equipment
and have county personnel run the equipment.
Alicia Kanelopoulos provided public comment and thanked Commissioner Keller
for getting back to her on her question and she also thanked Mr. Hart for speaking up
last Thursday.
Jay Lightfoot provided public comment and is still concerned about the county
spending $6,000 to give someone a meal. He feels there has to be a cheaper way to let
employees know the Board appreciates their time.
The minutes of October 22, 2013 and October 24, 2013 meetings were reviewed.
These will be approved Thursday, October 31, 2013.
The Board reviewed Agreements, Contracts and Reports. Commissioner
Thomas wanted to respond to Ms. Wertz's question about snow removal. He said we
have no place to put the snow so this contract will have the contractor remove the snow
with a dump truck and haul it away. John Hart, County Administrator responded that the
County does use inmates on occasion to do sidewalks but this is large parking lot areas
and once it freezes equipment is needed to remove it. Commissioner Thomas asked
for a redlined version of item #4, Drug Free Workplace Policy. Mr. Hart explained this
policy is substantially larger and it's a total change to the prior policy. Chairman Keller
recommended that the Human Resources Director send a brief email providing the
nature of the essential changes. The items will be approved Thursday, October 31,
2013.
On a motion by Robert G. Ziobrowski; seconded by Robert L. Thomas;
