JUDGE MOSES:

Judge Moses, Kyle Walker, and Ben Fickel discussed the Neopost mail machine contract. Judge Moses stated $557.00 would cover the new software for Municipal Court but ultimately the decision was up to the commissioners. He said they have talked to Sharon and Clerk of Courts has the same issues as Municipal. President Dickerson stated he felt like Neopost mislead them.

Prosecutor Ben Fickel said if we opt out of the contract Neopost could still require payments through the term of the contract. Ben said he could write a letter to Neopost with reasons the county wants out of the contract and they could either agree or demand the payments.

William Kaeppner suggested they listen to the audio file when the representative from Neopost was here.

Commissioner Ogle asked the clerk to contact Pitney Bowes and get an estimate to compare with Neopost.

President Dickerson said he would like a decision by April 10, 2018.

Judge Moses asked if they could park their county vehicle in the courthouse parking lot. The commissioners said they had no objection.

Kyle asked if they need to be here for the April 10 meeting. Sandy said they would contact him.

Sandy also gave the commissioners FirstNet information.

PUBLIC COMMENT:

Sue Morgan said she was confused and asked for clarity on the Don Wood letter.

Beth Lanning also needed clarity on the letter.

There was discussion on the purpose of the Don Wood letter concerning Rockbridge Sewer.

Bill Kaeppner stated people used to take jobs with government because of the good health insurance. Now, you have employees whose wages don’t go up, but cost of insurance goes up. He asked if the commissioners were going to look for better rates in 2019. Jeff said they signed a three-year contract.

Beth Lanning asked what Major Moritz requested.
