The Board of Lincoln County Commissioners met at 9:00 a.m. on June 6, 2008. The following attended: Chairman Ted Lyons, Commissioners Steve Burgess and Gary Beedy, County Administrator Roxie Devers and Deputy County Clerk Vicki Ware.
Chairman Lyons called the meeting to order and led the Pledge of Allegiance.
Sheriff Tom Nestor introduced Mike Fischer with ERP Technical Services to discuss the county radio tower on County Road 2T. Sheriff Nestor had received a report on May 28 that the light was out on the tower. He called Mr. Fischer to replace the bulb. As his climber was going up the tower, several other issues arose. First, the horizontal legs were bending as he climbed. When he got up to 140 feet, the cross-members were broken and the climber came down. When they looked at the wiring it was melted, and the bulbs that could be seen were shattered, indicating a possible lightning strike. They were able to check four electrical boxes and there was no lightning protection on any of them. Mr. Fischer said that the broken cross-members could be best fixed with pieces of steel and clamps. The tower would have to be re-wired, but they could use the existing conduit. The Board asked Mr. Fischer how much it would cost to do the repairs. Mr. Fischer told them he had not done an estimate, but could get one to them by Monday. The Board then asked Mr. Fischer when he could start the work if they accepted his proposal. He said that he could start on approximately June 13. The Board decided to have a meeting on Monday, June 9, to make a decision about the tower. There is some urgency about getting it fixed because if someone notifies the FAA, the Board could be fined $1,000.00 per day for not having the bulbs fixed. Ms. Devers will talk to the insurance company about the possible lightning strike.
The Board approved additional expense vouchers for May.

Hospital Administrator Herman Schreivogel met with the Board to present the results of two studies at the hospital. Greg Etl, Lincoln County’s DOLA representative, had recommended that they get an asbestos inspection done. A limited asbestos inspection was done by Orion Environmental, Inc. Mr. Schreivogel reported that they found a small amount of asbestos in ceiling tile in the nursing home, but that it was alright with paint on it.
Mr. Schreivogel then presented the Findings and Recommendation Report done by RMH Group, Inc. He felt that it presented a good picture of what was done and how it was done. The estimated cost of the work needed to be done on the generator and electrical system is $368,075.00. If they get the DOLA grant, Mr. Schreivogel felt that the hospital could come up with their third of the cost.
Mr. Beedy made a motion to approve the minutes of the May 30, 2008 meeting. Mr. Burgess seconded the motion, which carried unanimously.
The Board reviewed the May reports from the County Assessor, the Treasurer, the Sheriff, and from the Treasurer’s office for all funds.
The Board reviewed a Professional Services Agreement with EcoStruct-EcoSol, LLC for a design and cost estimate project for a solar power system for the courthouse. Mr. Burgess made a motion to sign the agreement. Mr. Beedy seconded the motion, which carried unanimously.
The Board reviewed the audits of the financial statements for both the Prairie Development Corporation and the East Central Council of Governments.
Mr. Lyons called for commissioner reports. Mr. Beedy said he had attended the EMS appreciation day on Saturday, May 31. On Tuesday, June 3, he attended the Department Head meeting in Hugo and the railroad meeting in Karval. On the way home, he looked at the radio tower. Mr. Beedy also reported that he got some information on county powers from CCI. He felt that the 1041 powers gave no clear direction on rail transportation.
Mr. Burgess reported that he went to the Centennial Mental Health finance meeting on Tuesday, June 3, and he also attended the railroad meeting in Karval on the same day. On June 4, he met with the three road foremen and Ken Morrison, Land Use Administrator, to identify the problem areas in the courthouse parking lot. In the afternoon, he met with Joe Kiely, Jo Downey, Dr. Page and Victor Rodriguez from Plains Medical Center to discuss enterprise zones. In the evening, he went to the COG meeting where they discussed the audit and health insurance issues for their employees. He also reported that on Monday, June 2, he had received a call from Henry Schuler, who is performing some work for the county.
Mr. Lyons reported that he had attended the Department Head meeting on Tuesday, June 3, and that he also attended the railroad meeting in Karval on that day. On the way back, he also looked at the radio tower. He also reported that he had talked to a Wal Mart representative about their wind tower. The results of their study of the use of wind power can be received by the Board if they want them.
Mr. Lyons expressed his concern about the relocation of the rail line from Brush to Las Animas. On June 13, Mr. Beedy is going to meet with several individuals regarding the relocation project and will then attend a STAC meeting where it will be discussed further. When he reports back to the Board, they will have a better idea for a course of action.
Mr. Lyons reported that he had talked to Dave Thompson regarding the origin of the Livestock Sale Committee. Mr. Thompson felt that it had started in the seventies, but he was not sure if the Fair Board had started it or not.
Mr. Lyons reported that Wayne Shade had talked to Jay Sutton, the contractor who does the weed spraying for the Union Pacific railroad right-of-way. They straightened out the location of the weeds that need to be sprayed.
Ms. Devers had no Administrator’s report, but did have old business. She presented the Board with a resolution regarding the rules for beer gardens. After review, Mr. Burgess made a motion to adopt the resolution, as proposed. Mr. Beedy seconded the motion, which carried unanimously.

RESOLUTION #684 It was moved by Commissioner Burgess and seconded by Commissioner Beedy to adopt the following resolution:
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners of Lincoln County were presented with a request to allow a beer garden on county premises, specifically the Lincoln County Fairgrounds; and
WHEREAS, the County Commissioners determined that rules for beer gardens would need to be established to allow control of the premises and lessen the county’s liability and that each application would have to be considered separately;

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the following rules will apply to applications for beer gardens and that the Board of County Commissioners of Lincoln County may establish additional rules if deemed necessary for the preservation of the public peace, health and safety:
1. The Commissioners grant permission to the sponsoring entity, which is required to obtain special events insurance. This can be purchased from any insurance company or the county has a source for it as well.
Upon roll call the vote was:
Commissioner Burgess, Yes; Commissioner Beedy, Yes; Commissioner Lyons, Yes.

Ms. Devers also reported that David Riemenschneider had declined to serve on the Advisory Committee for Improvements to Surface Water Irrigation Systems in the Arkansas River Basin. After discussion, the Board asked Ms. Devers to contact John Reid to see if he would serve.
Mr. Burgess reported that he had gone to see Nanette Peeters. She is doing well, but is facing a long recovery. She voluntarily submitted her resignation. The Board directed Ms. Devers to call Marilyn Gillis to see if she would still like to work at the landfill.
As for new business, the Board asked Ms. Devers to set up a meeting with Mike Mosher, the fair manager, to discuss various maintenance issues at the fairgrounds. They also asked her to find out the wattage of the lights around the courthouse, as perhaps they can use less electricity if the courthouse is not lit as brightly at night. Mr. Burgess reported that he had received a call from LaFarge and that the price of asphalt is going up immediately.
Mr. Beedy presented a bid to the Board for a John Deere tractor with a double-wing mower. He decided to keep the single-wing mower, as well, as the trade-in was not high enough. After discussion, Mr. Beedy made a motion to accept the bid of $31,425.94. Mr. Burgess seconded the motion, which carried unanimously.
Ms. Devers presented the grant application to the Cooper-Clark Foundation for the Board to sign. This grant application is on behalf of the Lincoln Community Hospital and Nursing Home for emergency generator and electrical systems corrections. Mr. Lyons signed the grant application and all members signed the cover letter.
With no further business to come before the Board, the meeting was adjourned until 9:00 a.m. on June 9, 2008.
