IX. EXECUTIVE SESSION
1. Executive Session Minute Review
Clerk Duncan suggested that since there were some members on remote and since there was just one set of minutes that needed to be reviewed, they not resolve into executive session unless a board member felt they needed to. Since this was the semi-annual review, they did need to release the minutes as there were no pending issues involved.
Motion by Dragovich, seconded by Armour to release the May 11th, 2021 executive session minutes.
| RESULT: APPROVED [UNANIMOUS]
MOVER: Mark Dragovich, Board Vice Chair SECONDER: Todd Armour, Board Member AYES: Acord, Armour, Dragovich, Dunnagan, Harding, Heuer, Ibberson, Kiel, Klausing, Payne, Pomatto, Quarton, Schmidt, Siegel, Starr, Thomas, Vojas ABSENT: Wiggins |
1. Resolution Regarding Non-Union Parity Raise for the Highway Department Clerk Duncan explained this resolution would give the same percentage salary increases to the Highway Department non-union employees as the union contract specified. This is the same resolution as has been used after previous contracts.
Motion by Dragovich, seconded by Kiel to adopt the resolution.
| RESULT: ADOPTED [UNANIMOUS]
MOVER: Mark Dragovich, Board Vice Chair SECONDER: Bernie Kiel, Board Member AYES: Acord, Armour, Dragovich, Dunnagan, Harding, Heuer, Ibberson, Kiel, Klausing, Payne, Pomatto, Quarton, Schmidt, Siegel, Starr, Thomas, Vojas ABSENT: Wiggins |

XII. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
1. FY 2020-2021 Month 9 Budget Review
Duncan explained that at this point, we would want to see 75% or less in spending. Overall, the general fund had spent 70.5% of the total budget for the year. Most departments and offices were right around the 75% mark and each would be presenting their budget at the end of the month and would be saying if they did not feel they would be able to meet their budget at that point.
On the revenue side, the county had receipted 71.35% of the projected revenue for the year. State reimbursements have come in at a very good pace. Fines and fees as well as Circuit Clerk Fees are significantly above the expected percentage for the first time since the pandemic began. Federal prisoner housing reimbursement is current but well below where we were last year.
XIII. NEW BUSINESS
1. Dorchester Township Request for Initiating Proceedings to Require the Owner to Remove Unsafe Building in Unincorporated Area
Schmidt said the township had requested as they are allowed per state statute to request the county to handle the process of demolishing a property in the unincorporated areas of the county. The county has the option to decline to do it if they so choose, which was the feeling of the Executive Committee since the concern was that if this request was granted, all townships would have requests to make at the county’s expense.
Motion by Heuer, seconded by Ibberson to decline to action on the request of Dorchester Township.
| RESULT: REJECTED [UNANIMOUS]
MOVER: Gordon Heuer, Board Member SECONDER: Jim Ibberson, Board Member AYES: Acord, Armour, Dragovich, Dunnagan, Harding, Heuer, Ibberson, Kiel, Klausing, Payne, Pomatto, Quarton, Schmidt, Siegel, Starr, Thomas, Vojas ABSENT: Wiggins |
