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. On a motion by Robert G. Ziobrowski; seconded by Robert L. Thomas; unanimously approved to adopt the agenda. There was no public comment. The minutes of the May 2, 2017 and May 4, 2017 meetings were reviewed. These will be approved Thursday, May 11, 2017. The Board reviewed Agreements, Contracts and Reports. The following item was approved today while the remaining items will be decided upon on Thursday, May 11, 2017. The Board reviewed information regarding National Correctional Officers and Employees Week. Warden Bill Bechtold and several representatives of the Jail were present to receive the proclamation. The Warden thanked the Board for recognizing the staff at the Jail. He explained that staff have dealt with extreme population pressures this past year which has put more work on the staff. He said it is fitting to recognize the staff for what they do for the citizens of Franklin County. He said they go to a lot of trainings and the last event they attended had 23 different facilities represented from all over the country. He realized once he heard how things are handled elsewhere how appreciative he is of Franklin County. Commissioner Thomas said it's not an easy job and the only time you hear anything about the Jail is when something goes wrong. They do a great job and he has great confidence in the staff. They are rightfully recognized and he asked those in attendance to pass this on to their counterparts. Commissioner Ziobrowski said if they watch TV they see jails differently, in a bad light, but if the public had any idea what the staff do and see what kind of operation they run, they would be amazed. He said the Board is proud of them. On a motion by Robert L. Thomas; seconded by Robert G. Ziobrowski; unanimously approved Proclamation #2017 — 12 for the purpose of proclaiming the week of May 8 to May 13, 2017 as National Correctional Officers and Employees Week, and that the attached proclamation be made a part of these minutes.
