Joan Strickler, observer
Commissioners
Lewis, Boyd and Wells present, Lewis presiding.
County
Counselor Clancy Holeman reported the attorneys on the indigent defense panel
have agreed to a 1.5% cola increase in the coming year. For special cases demanding extensive hours
of work the attorneys will be paid an eighty dollar an hour rate. The Commissioners agreed to the contract.
Officer
Matthew Droge discussed holiday safety issues.
He noted 80% of vehicle robberies involve unlocked cars. He cautioned against leaving boxes out on curbs that would advertise the
arrival of new television or other expensive appliances in the house and
suggested writing down serial numbers of valuables.
Robert Nall,
IT/GIS director, made a recommendation for the County to contract with a
company that offers oblique aerial photography for the 2014 aerial property
survey. Oblique photography allows all four
sides of a property to be viewed and gives one the ability to determine the width
and height of that property. Oblique
photography will be a particularly effective tool in assessing the value of
property in the County.
The company
contracted to develop the 2013 aerial assessment has experienced extensive
delays and has yet to provide its report.
Commissioners encouraged staff to negotiate down any final payment to
the company due to the delays.
