BOCC October 28, 2010
All commissioners present

Getting DNA evidence analyzed is taking 279 days because of understaffing at the laboratory..
He said that there is a capital case scheduled for next Summer. When asked about trends, he said that there is an increase in offenders in the 18-26 year old range which also coincides with the age of University students and many of the military at Ft. Riley.
Johnette Shepek gave the budget and planning report. She reported that the remaining 2010 Budget Authority for Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) was $458,380, for the Building fund - $2,445, for Economic Development - $519,242, for Road and bridge 1/2 cent sales tax - $2,802,282. The LEC expansion fund has $106,086 remaining and about $50,000 will be used for the overlay of the parking areas.
Ann Smith from ATA Bus said they are looking for the most economic financing for the new building. She estimates the amount to be $100,000 with about $5000 being cost of the interest.
