President Dickerson asked if he signs both lines. Lena stated Jeff signs one and the notary signs the other. Sandy asked if it was supposed to be notarized. Lena said she would notarize it at the office. She stated she is not a notary but they have one at the office. Sandy said when they are notarizing it they are not witnessing the signature. Lena said she can say that she saw him sign it. Commissioner Ogle said they could have Ken Wilson come down and notarize the documents. Lena said she would go up there. Sandy stated Ken Wilson did not see President Dickerson sign it. Major Moritz said it has to be signed in front of a notary. Lena stated they have done this before at their Community Action office and it has not been an issue. Sandy said she did not want to do it that way because the document says you need to have a notary sign that witnessed the signature. Lena said they notarize at that office and they have done it in the past. Bill Kaeppner stated those documents are illegal. Kyle Walker said he was a notary and could witness the signature on the documents. President Dickerson said they were not signed on the presence of a notary. Commissioner Ogle said he could sign over his name.

Lena Osborne presented a Residential Anti-Displacement and Relocation Assistance Plan that is required by all grantees prior to funding and asked for a resolution number. Commissioner Ogle asked how soon they have to have the document submitted. Lena said today (7/10). Sandy asked if it’s not in there correctly could it be turned down. Lena said it is a possibility. Sandy asked why they had to wait until the last day to sign it. Lena said you have to select your projects first. Lena stated Perry County is doing the same thing and she’s not getting their signatures until Thursday. Commissioner Ogle said Jeff could sign the document and then we will look for the number.
