Welcome to the 57th
AIC Annual Conference!
Al Logsdon,
Spencer County
Commissioner
AIC President
As President of the AIC, I welcome you
to the Association of Indiana Counties’
57th Annual Conference in LaPorte
County. This year’s host committee
is made up of officials from LaPorte
County, and they have worked hard
to welcome us and make the 2015
conference one you all will remember
for years to come!
As always, this year’s conference
will include many educational and
professional networking opportunities. Over the next four days
you will have several opportunities to attend many workshops,
and to learn from the knowledgeable and engaging speakers who
will help you gain a better understanding of the challenges and
opportunities facing county government in 2016.
As you take advantage of the learning opportunities, be sure
to allow time for networking with your peers. Several events
have also been planned to help you relax and unwind. The AIC
has made it easy to network with vendor representatives and
other county officials, who like you, are working tirelessly for the
communities they serve.
As always, thank you for your support
of the AIC and participation in the 2015
Annual Conference. Your attendance
will make this 57th Annual Conference
a remarkable event, which I hope you’ll
always remember fondly! Be sure to
mark your calendars for the fall of 2016
when the AIC holds its 58th Annual
Conference in Allen County. You’ll be in
good hands as my successor, Randolph
County Treasurer Jane Grove, takes
over as the AIC’s next President.

3 CONCURRENT WORKSHOPS: ROUND I
1. Technology
It is no secret that county governments rely on many
private and third party vendors to help them serve
taxpayers quickly and efficiently. However, wading into
the waters of selecting new technology and software
programs and vendors can be an intimidating process.
How do I write an RFP, define requirements, and
manage the procurement process and the ultimate
implementation of the new vendor? In this session we
will explore best practices and the lessons learned in
previous acquisition experiences.

2. County Government and Health Care
Changes
Sam’s Town
As Indiana and the nation continue to evolve in the new
world of American health care, county governments
are facing unique challenges. In a world where higher
health care minimums are necessary for employees,
there are also pitfalls to having too rich of a benefits
package. How can county governments find the
right balance between what are the best and most
responsible offerings?

3. New Retirement Offerings Available
to County Employees – More
Responsibility for the Employee
WEDNESDAY
Orleans Ballroom
For decades, public employees have benefitted from
a defined benefits plan, guaranteeing employees
minimum benefits upon retirement. However, due to
the expense to participating units, additional options
are now available for local units of government and
perhaps employees. Learn about the new retirement
options and how employees need to be educated that
retirement is becoming a self-determined benefit.

3 CONCURRENT WORKSHOPS: ROUND II
1. Future of Road Funding and the
Impact of the New Public Construction
Wage Law?
Suncoast
The Indiana General Assembly has named road funding
to be amongst its top priorities for the 2016 legislative
session, but most experts agree that gasoline taxes
will not be able to sustain our system in the future. Is
Indiana about to finally move past the gasoline tax?
Learn about new funding options being considered.
Discover best practices for road preservation, and

Mike Repay, Lake County Commissioner
Sam’s Town
In recent years, the General Assembly through state
statute, and local units of government through
abatement, has created more exemptions for property
taxes. As the taxable assessed value shrinks, tax rates
increase and local revenue is lost to circuit breakers.
Attend this workshop and review on a statewide level
the impact of local abatements, the state homestead
supplemental deduction and other property tax
exemptions that have increased tax rates. Generally,
economists indicate a broad base and a low tax rate
is a good tax policy. What are some options moving
forward to protect and grow the tax base? Are higher
fees for government services the answer to fund
specific government functions?
