COMMISSIONERS REPORT
Commissioner Kokoski said looking for alternative ways to raise revenue and asked if we charge back for prisoner inmate, if not why
not, can wages be garnished in order to raise funds for jail.
Commissioner Williams asked about the work release program.
Chief Deputy Dennis Cavanaugh said the jail gets some payments from inmates involved in the work-release program but collecting
penalties and fines is very difficult already. If we charge them with contempt of court, then it just raises our problems.
Commissioner Kokoski said the board annual waives these fees/fines what about getting an outside source to recoup funds. Assistant County
Prosecutor Innes said we could look into it but it has never proved to be productive.
Commissioner Williams asked about the revenue from the phones. Chief Deputy Cavanaugh said revenue comes in from phones and
commissary and there is a possibility that an additional $50,000 in revenue might flow in next year as part of the telephone contract. Clerk
stated this is on the agenda for next week.
Commissioner Kalo said CCAO Metro Affairs recapped the election and 5 other counties had sales tax issues on the ballot 3 passed and
2 failed and some soil and water districts, developmental disabilities and OSU extension levels that did pass in some counties.

Commissioner Kalo along with Elyria Mayor Grace and Lorain Mayor Krasienko kicked off the Salvation Army red kettle drive
Commissioner Kalo attended the Ohio Recyclers Association Conference this past Monday at Spitzer Center. Keith Bailey, Director –
LCSWMD said there were 150 people in attendance and they liked the venue and 41 toured the collection center. The Plan went out for

Commissioner Kalo noted #3 under board correspondence; November 17 from 6-8 pm, Vincent Elementary School, 2303 N. Ridge Rd
E. Lorain, ODOT will hold a meeting regards to SR254 roadway improvements, Sheffield township. The project will widen SR254 to provide a
shared left turn lane between SR57 and W River Rd.
Commissioner Williams meet with ODOT District 3 Manager regards to turnpike lease and the potential revenue that could come and
would like him to make a presentation sometime next year.
Commissioner Williams said tomorrow, along with County Administrator Cordes will attend the League of Women Voters, Oberlin.
Commissioner Williams said also tomorrow is Golden 30 awards and Township meeting and he will meet with state reps on Friday.
Commissioner Kokoski said Goodwill hired 70 people from their job fair.
Commissioner Kokoski asked if letters will go to the departments regards to their budgets and cuts and give them an opportunity for
them to decide or we just take from personnel.
County Administrator Cordes said with various discussions with the Commissioners yesterday he would send the letters to departments
requesting where these cuts would occur and have responses within 2 weeks and if no response then cuts will be made during the annual
appropriations in December.
Commissioner Kalo said he spoke with the Budget Director and these cuts are passed upon what was proposed with sales tax failing and
then the departments could go through layoff process. County Administrator Cordes said this is a lengthy process with notification, bumping and
layoffs.
Commissioner Kalo said it needs to happen this year, nothing will be rolled into next year because there are no additional monies and
also do a temporary budget done quarterly. County Administrator Cordes said there will be trialing costs and it could take 4-6 weeks for
bumping/layoffs
Commissioner Williams said he agrees with the majority but the $2.5 million shortfall for 2012 and not agree with all cuts, take
$350,000 from jail will create an issue and he would like to hold on this until we can see where we will be, there will be a bigger deficit in 2013.
He stated the Clerk of Courts has only returned $250,000 out of $700,000 and rather than wait, proposed to reduce the $100,000 to $550,000 to
cover the $450,000 transfer because there is a $1 million carryover.
Commissioner Kalo asked where the title fund was? Lisa Hobart Budget Director said with the $250,000 Clerk of Courts gave the
carryover would be right around $700,000. Commissioner Williams said he would like to leave $250,000 to carryover. Commissioner Kalo said
the annual appropriation is not being approved today and a letter should be sent to him with the discussions that have been had. Commissioner
Kokoski said Clerk of Courts was to give money this year and if not than the budget would be decreased by that amount for next year.
Commissioner Williams said a work session is needed to see how much the cuts will be for 2013 because there could be revenue from
casinos, Commissioner Kokoski said interest income and Commissioner Kalo said sale of property, etc.
Commissioner Kalo said the final numbers should be available mid December. Budget Director said should be around November 30 and
Auditor has some issue getting the checks out. Craig Snodgrass, Auditors office said middle December. County Administrator Cordes said a
clear snapshot would be 1st of January 2012. Budget Director Hobart said revenue is always received until 4:30 pm on the last day of December.
Commissioner Kokoski said the jail has been subsidized in 2011 for $350,00; 2012 for $350,00 but 2012 without tax was $4.5 million.
Budget Director Hobart said this is what was in criminal justice fund less the $350,000. Commissioner Kokoski said the sales tax increased so
jail tax increases will they need this subsidy for next year. Budget Director Hobart said if the sales tax trends stay same then they should be ok.
County Administrator Cordes said this is a balance act and the sales tax which is almost fully recovered then the balance would come from their
funds.
Commissioner Kalo said the letters will go out today to the department, County Administrator Cordes said today or tomorrow morning.

PUBLIC COMMENT
(Please limit your comments to three minutes)
David Ashenhurst, Oberlin asked for clarification on the tax issues that were approved and failed in various counties;
Clerk stated that the following counties had sales tax issues on November 8 ballot:
Logan - Sales & Use Tax – General Fund (Road, bridges, economic development & land use planning) - ½% 5 years Pass
Lorain - Sales & Use Tax Increase – Criminal Justice ¼% 5 years Fail
Marion - Sales & Use Tax - To be retained? ½% No
Noble - 9-1-1 User Fee – per line $0.50 CPT Pass
Stark - Sales & Use Tax – Criminal Justice ½% 8 years Pass
Mr. Ashenhurst said Commissioner Williams expressed no surprise that the sales tax passed in Oberlin because of the students. He stated
that JVS passed by 92 ballots in 2 precincts that have a lot of students and passed in the other 8 precincts. Both school levies passed but under
voted 76 in the 2 heavily excluded precincts and precincts 5 the new tax failed but current one passed. In 2007 the sales tax lost by 20% - 80%
and passed in 1 prescient by 9 votes and lost 60/40 in another prescient and more in others and in print 5 was 48 to 212. In 2009 it failed 42 to
58 but passed in Oberlin 3-2 and every precinct except 5 and failed by 36 votes. In 2011 it passed 3-2 and narrowly in prescient 1, 3 & 6, widely
in 2 & 4 and passed very heavily in the two most student prescient but also under voted by 99 so the students are voting when they know
something and not where they don’t. It failed in only 1 precinct which is 5 by 111 votes and all of Oberlin gets it not just the students, all of
Oberlin except 1 percents and would invite the commissioners to think about why it works in Oberlin and why it does not everywhere else. He
knows a lot of people with the article sin the paper with the effects of Issue 2 being voted down and say people are getting more money because
union are running away but maybe they should talk to the deputies but he finds if very difficult to understand and especially how jvs lost but it is
obviously not just the sales tax, but Oberlin get it on all.
Commissioner Kalo said maybe it was a mis perception because maybe the students took a bigger role in the presidential election vs the
local. Mr. Ashenhurst said the turnout was 600 higher than 2 years ago and issue 2 was only under voted by 2 ballots in those 2 prescient and 99
by sales tax and this just indicates that it is no because of the students that the sales tax was passed, Oberlin knows that it is needed and it gets
explained that ordinary gets it but there is one area that consistently votes against everything.
