Motion carried 3-0. *Commissioner Comments and Committee Reports: Commissioner Pohl attended a Project Concern Strategic Planning meeting. Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) has expressed concern over Project Concern receiving money to support the transportation and combining the funds with moneys from Meals on Wheels. They suggested forming a subsidiary called Atchison County Transportation; therefore, allowing the money to remain separate. Someone from KDOT may be in contact with the board in the future about this issue. Commissioner Pohl mentioned he has a regular Project Concern meeting Thursday, May 17, 2018. Commissioner Bower has been thinking about the county nursing home. He has been looking into some of the information available and feels that the board should consider everything if they were to sell the property. Commissioner Bower mentioned that they have a large percentage of county employees, no taxes are being paid, has support from the county, along with income from a couple different trust. Commissioner Bower asked if the county had to furnish a Health Department. County Counselor Patrick Henderson told him there were certain duties that are assigned to the Board of County Commissioners that must be done in regards to public health. The board heard the 2019 budget request from NEK Multi-County Health Department earlier that morning. Commissioner Bower made comment that maybe there could be a collaboration with others to try to save taxpayer money and feels that there are some things that should be challenged in the future. Chairman Noll stated he has a meeting Thursday, May 17, 2018 with the Northeast Kansas Community Action Program (NEK-CAP). *New Business Before the Board: Corey Scott, Emergency Medical Director, appeared before the board to review the monthly response report. Director Scott mentioned that they have looked into some of the routing they have used and was able to bring the emergent time back down to under the 6 minute mark for the in town responses.
Director Scott provided the board with sealed bids solicited from Ferno and Stryker, two manufacturers of power cots systems. The bids were for two new power cots systems including all cost associated for conversions needed for our current ambulances. Director Scott mentioned that there were other vendors, but he choose to go through the manufacturers themselves. Director Scott asked that the bids be open and accepted and that the decision be tabled until he could have time to review the bids and talk to the Ambulance Advisory Board. The following bids were received: Stryker of Chicago, IL: $81,568.04 including $2,500 trade-in for two existing cots Ferno of Wilmington, OH: $67,378.74, including $4,000 trade-in for two existing cots The current system being used is the Stryker system and the systems will not intermix. The life expectancy of the cots are roughly 10 years and the cots being replaced are 10-20 years old. Any future ambulances purchased will have to have the same cot system that we purchase due to the capabilities and limits of the systems. Director Scott told the board that the collections are going through the attorney and that he has been getting monthly reports. He will bring them in front of the Ambulance Advisory Board prior to bringing them to the Commissioners. Director Scott told the board that the concrete has been completed and will be able to be driven on shortly and that if everything goes accordingly there should be asphalt in the parking lot by fall. Commissioner Bower mentioned that we should check into some of the companies that are currently in town to see if there could be some cost savings. The board had a purchase order for the fiber optic cable that was placed out at the Shannon Industrial Park payable to Rainbow Communications in the amount of $33,997.73. Commissioner Bower made a motion to approve the payment. Commissioner Pohl seconded the motion. Chairman Noll called for a vote, all voted aye. Motion passed 3-0. Commissioner Pohl asked County Clerk, Michelle Phillips about her search for election equipment. She will be presenting the information to the board soon. Clerk Phillips told the board that she has been working on getting the county departments and outside agencies on the agenda for 2019 budget request. Commissioner Pohl mentioned that he had made a motion to send Chairman Noll, Peggy House, Atchison Senior Village Administrator, and County Counselor Patrick Henderson to go to a meeting to talk about some potential buyers for the nursing home. Counselor Henderson had sent an e-mail asking for potential dates. *Executive Session: Chairman Noll moved that the Board of County Commissioners recess into executive session at 1:30 pm for preliminary discussions relating to the acquisition of real property related to a construction project, as allowed by K.S.A. 75-4319(b)(6).
