b.8 JOURNAL ENTRY

In the matter of awarding contract to Axtell’s, Inc., PA in )amount of $43,847 for the runway 7/25 pavement marking) May 24, 2017project at Lorain County Airport )

Commissioner Kalo said county’s responsibility is around $2,000 for this project. Administrator Cordes said yes, but it is not general fund monies, this money is from growing corn in the fields. He stated that several people look at the Ohio Checkbook on line, which is good transparency but they do not know how to read it. It looks like the airport is getting all this money from the general fund, which is not true, if you have questions, call or email us. It is the same with the transit budget; these funds are from fare boxes, ODOT, advertising, etc. Commissioner Lundy said this is frustrating because they can explain and put everything out there, but people make comments and when he asks Clerk Upton, Assistant Shanahan, Budget Director Hobart or Assistant Strohsack if anyone has emailed and called and they all say no, then how can the people be truly informed.

Discussion continued and the following resolution was adopted:

How Did You Hear About Restaurant Week

Which Restaurants Did You Visit for the First Time?

Commissioner Kalo said according to the surveys there was participation at Coles, Cork Tree and Jackalope. Ms. Kennedy said yes, but there was no feedback from the restaurants to gauge participation and meals. She stated that many people noted they tried the Strip for the 1 st time and others noted they made the trip to the Jackalope . This allowed people to try restaurants they normally wouldn’t.

311

Commissioner Lundy said he visited 2 restaurants during this week and as an observer the 1 restaurant was not, or at least the wait staff was not clear on menu, or even offered a card, the other restaurant went well beyond expectations.

Ms. Kennedy said each participant did receive scripts, packet of information but did observe several things that will be reviewed. Journal entry – Visit LC cont. May 24, 2017

Commissioner Kokoski said at least she knows 6 more cards were not turned in, the Commissioners so she feels that there was much more participation than noted.

Commissioners thanked her for this as well as Mr. Cordes. Mr. Cordes said they are working on another event for the fall, as well as fine dining and cheap eats. Commissioner Lundy said also include that Lorain County has free parking

There will be 2 grand prize winners and 6 winners for dinner on us.Grand Prize winners, Commissioner Kokoski picked names1. Dave Markovich ($100 gift card for Strip Steakhouse)2.

JOURNAL ENTRYINDIGENT ATTORNEY FEES

Court Appointed Counsel/Indigent Court Attorney Fees – Jennifer Reidthaler-Williams, Bar Association President. Attorney Williams said also here today are Jeannie Motylewski, Executive Bar Association, Attorney Bill Wills and Court Administrator Domestic Jody Barilla. She stated that the indigent attorney fees are inadequate, have not been raised for over 20+ years and it is becoming a crisis to get attorneys to represent because of the rates. There are fewer attorneys willing to accept the assignments and is a crisis in the processing of legal matters in the criminal and domestic courts. She stated that all criminal defendants in Ohio, not merely those charged with felonies, have a right to the assignment of counsel if they aren’t able to afford one beginning at the time of arraignment. The statutory mandates require that juvenile defendants charged with felonies be appointed counsel. We don’t have a choice. In addition to this, in certain cases, it is required that guardian ad litems be appointed to represent the best interest of minors in a range of proceedings, including juvenile delinquencies and requires that the parents or guardians of juvenile offenders with pending cases in juvenile court also have the right to assigned counsel if they qualify. Again the fees are inadequate and standards are very low compared to like size counties of our statue as well as even with the Ohio Public Defenders office. As of now, it is $40 in court/$50 out of court for criminal and $35 in court and $30 out of court for domestic juvenile.

Commissioner Kalo said he serves on a committee through CCAO and Lorain County is the poster child with the lowest rates around and it has been 27 years ago since the rates have been raised. After through discussions there would be a 2 tier increase. Starting July 1, there will be a $5 increase in general division as well as felony juvenile and $5 increase in juvenile misdemeanant then again a $5 increase January 1, 2018.

Jody Barilla, Court Administrator – Domestic Relations thanked the Commissioners for their supportAttorney Willis thanked the Commissioners and allows attorneys to keep practicing fairly across the board for all clients. Commissioner Kalo said when Terry Boose, was State representative but now a Huron County Commissioners he tried to get the State to

take this over since they have mandated it to the locals, they need to have control.Commissioner Kokoski said it is not popular to give attorneys money but this is needed for fair representation.Jeannie Motylewski, Director – Lorain County Bar Association thanked the Commissioner and on behalf of the members of the bar

association. She also stated that the attorney now have to have continued certification to practice at the different levels of lawAttorney Bill Willis thanked the commissioners and understands the funding issues with the county but thanked them, its long over due Attorney Williams said this would give some younger and less-experienced attorneys, to come start practicesDiscussion continued and the following resolution was adopted:
