This meeting starts with the annual leadershihp change of the Preble County Commission. Commissioner Wesler nominated Commissioner Stonecash as President and the motion passed. Commissioner Wesler then nominated Commissioner Day as Vice President and that motion passed.

Next up a letter from OSU Extension' Stephen Wright was read and noted for the $63,364.95 Preble County Partnerships for Success Grant. According to Commissioners Stonecash and Day this does not necessarily mean the money will be used to fund 4-H.

Most notable though is the passing of a motion to send Preble County Landfill leachate to Lakengren with a 2 -1 vote in favor by Bob Stonecash and Chris Day. The reasons offered were as flawed as the decision. Dave Wesler voted against the motion and prior to the decision he motioned to stop negotiations with Lakengren and start them with Camden. The exchange and audio are below.

Commissioner David Wesler wanted to hire back a Detective for the Sheriff's Office as the department had been shut down last year due to budget cuts. Chris Day and Bob Stonecash would not do it because of concern over the 2010 economy. Commissioner Wesler mentioned it in the context of being a public safety issue. I agree, however the citizens of Preble County should take note that the savings mentioned by Camden officials if the County Landfill leachate had been sent to their village instead of Cincinnati last year would have saved the department at that time. All three Commissioners should be held account on that issue as it violates the "Shop Preble" campaign that the Preble County Commissioners pushed on residents last year.  All the while, County Commissioners had leachate trucked  to Cincinnati knowing the whole time they could have not only saved jobs and money but helped the Village of Camden.

File 4

47.5 minute   Connie reads letter from Stephen Wright (OSU Extension) addressed to Chris Day (then President of the County Commissioners).

Letter pertains to Preble County OSU Extension.

Per your request this letter is to verify that the $63,364.95 of the Preble County Partnerships for Success Grant will be applied to the county commission extension portion for 2010 with PCPS Grant conditions being followed. I understand that once this letter is received the Preble County Commission will sign off on the PCPS Grant and proceed with the release of funds to the Preble County Extension Office.

On behalf of Keith Smith and the Ohio State University Extension, I thank you, Bob Stonecash and David Wesler for your continued support and enthusiasm.

Sincerely,

Steven A. Wright

49 minute   Commission notes receipt of letter.

49.25 minute   Bob comments  "Well it's a good thing. What everybody has to understand though is that it doesn't necessarily have anything to do with 4-H."

Chris: They can use that money where ever they want.

52 minute  Miami Valley Regional Planning – Commissioner Wesler to continue and Commissioner Stonecash as alternate.

53 minute Mention of Landfill leachate lift stations (not part of the leachate project).

54.5 minute  Still opening on the Planning Commission, Chris is to talk to somebody.

56 minute  GOOSE CREEK CROSSING  Chris on a meeting he had on Friday. Things are moving forward, basically the next step is we need to get some type of purchase agreement with the landowner. It was recommended that we bring Marty (Prosecutor) in and go into Executive Session. Meeting also included David Wright, Rob Painter and Jay Stewart (of Kleingers.)  Until they talk to Marty they probably should not discuss it.

Discussion of getting Dayton Development Coalition, Kleingers, Ohio Department of Development together and eventually elected officials.

 1 hr. 21 minute  Dave on having asked Mindy the last few months of 2009 about making the $800,000 carry over that turned out to be $1,200,000. He is glad they exceeded rather than fell underneath the 800,000 that we sent as a bench mark.  "If there was one department that was completely eliminated it was the Detectives Department."  Dave would like to get them a detective. Bob has concerns and would like to wait before spending money.

Terry Snowden who recently retired as a Captain from the Sheriff's Department has filed to run for Dave's seat this Spring  

Figure of $50,000 per detective. Dave mentions safety of citizens.

 If the figures given by Camden officials are correct about the saving of sending leachate to Camden vs. Cincinnati the county Commissioners could very well have saved multiple detective jobs in 2009. They did not, it was not made an issue of at the time, and it should have been. All three should be held equally accountable, but only one is up for election this year.

 1 hr. 29.5 minute   Chris on other departments. He mentions that if the $50,000 is the salary the total compensation package would be in the $100,000 range.

Chris and Bob would like to look at it later in the year.  

Latter in the year will not help Dave.
