A letter from Kelli Ott reported that the MHRB Board has three openings on it that need commission nominees.

The possibility of the county again picking up have the election costs by putting the electric aggregation issue back on the ballot was discussed. Also discussed was the server issue in the courthouse. Connie reported that the mail server had gone down a few times recently. The need for a climate controlled room was also discussed. This is needed expense as anyone who has attended a commission meeting knows there is a lot of hot air generated by the commission in that area of the court house.  The heat shortens the life of the servers.  Cloud computing is an option but the commission was having trouble getting their heads into the idea which was surprising given the time spent on Goose Creek over the last few years.

The commission agreed to vacate an alley in West Sonora. This was one of those; if a tree falls in the woods and nobody hears it moments that will cost someone $46.

File 3

16 Minute mark   Election costs issues with regard to electric aggregation. As mentioned on Monday, the county is considering offering the deal that some townships and New Paris accepted last time. This was a good thing for the county to do and it was a shame that more areas did not pass the electric aggregation again as the price obtained is below that that DP&L and its affiliates had been offering.

20.5 Minute mark   David on Partnership the previous night. Connie said about 15 people attended. Shawnda covered success that she has had with Arnett Tool on Rt. 40. Also discussed was a revolving loan fund.

Commissioner Wesler reported that Representative Buchy voted "no" on the vicious dog law.

22.5 Minute mark   Commissioner Day reports a meeting with a local vendor on the "server" in the chamber office and discussed the options that had been proposed previously about the county using "cloud" technology.  Chris reported he has reservations on going to the cloud. I agree with Chris (it happens every now and then). Issue is security. The county's email server has gone down several times since Opti Vise made the proposal to use cloud technology.

25.25 Minute mark   Connie recommends the purchase of a new email server and continue investigating the other option. If the server goes down and does not come back up it would affect most of the court house.

Bob Stonecash asks if there has been any discussion with Eaton Computer. This is the second time that Bob has mentioned Eaton Computer by name on this issue.   

Chris reports that they had a discussion with them on the cloud computing. Issue of people getting their emails on their smart phones.

Currently the commission has four servers. Room will also need climate control (60 – 70 degrees) to extend life of equipment. May move servers to basement. Clerk of Courts and Auditor also have servers and the possibility of putting all the servers in one room and none currently in a climate controled environment.

Commissioner Stonecash wondered why they were not put in a climate controlled room 10-15 years ago. He is right the servers should have been.
