Re: Development/ Proposed Development, Westover Road Connector, Lee County Georgia

Dear Ron

Upon reviewing development plans for the Westover Road Connector, encroaching on ColonialPipeline' s 12", pipeline(s) and right of way, is approved pending your adherence to the followingstipulations:

1. Adam Gose( 678/313-2993) shall be notified 48 hours in advance of any activity on, over orthrough Colonial' s right of way.

2. Colonial Pipeline Company right of way will be marked with barrier fence to prohibit entry toColonial' s right of way with construction traffic after preliminary grading is complete. Access willbe on construction pad, the Right of Way will not be used as a thoroughfare for constructiontraffic.

3. Developer/Contractor shall strictly adhere to all conditions in the encroachment agreement.4. A Colonial representative shall be present before and during all construction activity on

Colonial' s right of way.5. This approval is only for the encroachment activities described in the construction plans; all

utility crossings need to be approved locally by Adam Gose.

If all conditions above are met and the encroachment agreement is followed, Colonial PipelineCompany will not need to make any other modifications to their existing facilities. However, if theseconditions are not met Colonial will be required to install heavier wall pipe to accommodate theincreased stresses associated with the live loading ( vehicle traffic). All costs associated with theconditions in the encroachment agreement and with those above shall be borne by the owner of theproperty to be developed. Attached are two original encroachment agreements, execute one and sendto my attention.

Please advise if you have any changes to your construction plans or questions

RE: Proposed Encroachment Agreement for

Easement between Lee County andGeorgia Transmission CorporationOur File No. 8444/634D

As requested, I have reviewed the proposed Encroachment Agreement between

Lee County and Georgia Transmission Corporation in connection with the Forrester-Westover Road project. I have the following comments as a result of that review:

1) As an initial disclosure, please be aware that I also do legal work forGeorgia Transmission Corporation. That legal work primarily involves right of way lines,utility easements, and related matters. Therefore, I have a potential conflict of interest

in reviewing this proposed Encroachment Agreement; however, the County may waivethat conflict if the County deems it appropriate to do so. For the purposes of this

Memorandum, I am assuming that the County will waive that conflict.

2) The first thing to remember is that Georgia Transmission CorporationGTC") likely only owns an easement across the property which is the subject of this

Agreement. Therefore, while this Encroachment Agreement allows the Countyencroach upon the GTC easement for purposes of the Forrester-Westover Road

40

Ms. Christi DockeryJune 1, 2016

Page 2

project, it does not relieve the County of its obligation to acquire right of way for its newroadway from the underlying property owner which would actually own the propertywhere the GTC easement is located. That is more particularly addressed in Paragraph1 of the Agreement and is a very important point that the County needs to keep in mind.

3) Paragraph 4 of the Agreement provides that Lee County uses the right ofway of GTC at its sole risk and that GTC is relieved of responsibility for damages to theproperty of Lee County which results from the use of the right of way by GTC.

4) In Paragraph 5, there are specific limitations regarding how close to thepower lines and other electric facilities located on the easement that Lee County and itscontractors can use any tools, machinery, or equipment. The County and itscontractors need to make sure that they can at all times comply with those limitations.

5) In Paragraph 6, Lee County is agreeing to reimburse GTC for any costsand expenses incurred by GTC resulting from damage to GTC's facilities by Lee Countyor its contractors. Lee County also agrees to pay GTC any costs that GTC incurs inmoving its electric facilities to accommodate Lee County's activities.

6) Paragraph 7 contains a provision requiring Lee County to notify GTC atleast three ( 3) business days prior to any Lee County construction on the right of wayby either Lee County or its contractors) under the terms of the Encroachment

Agreement.

7) Paragraph 8 contains an indemnification agreement regarding anydamages to persons or property that either Lee County or its agents, contractors, sub-contractors, etc. cause on the property. Normally, I am of the opinion that

indemnification agreements with respect to a city or county are generally unenforceablein Georgia; however, this particular paragraph provides that the indemnification isenforceable " to the extent that it may be lawfully" enforced under Georgia law. You doneed to be aware, however, that the law as to whether indemnification provisionsinvolving local governments in Georgia are enforceable is not exactly clear from a legalperspective, so the County is potentially assuming substantial liability under Paragraph8 of the Agreement.

8) With respect to Paragraph 9, there is a specific requirement that Lee

County incorporate into all of its contracts for any work or construction on the GTCeasement with any third persons an indemnification agreement in favor of GTC.Whoever initially drafts the construction agreements should be aware of this Paragraph

41

Ms. Christi DockeryJune 1, 2016

Page 3

9 so that the County will not be in default under this Agreement by failing to include thatlanguage.

9) With respect to Paragraph 10, this should also be included in any contractwith a contractor or sub-contractor doing or providing work on the easement right ofway, and that is the requirement that such contractor or sub-contractor have liabilityinsurance in the amount of not less than $ 2 million per occurrence for bodily injury andproperty damage arising out of Lee County's operations under the EncroachmentAgreement.

10) With respect to Paragraph 12, Lee County and its contractors arerequired to undertake any construction activity at a distance more than 25 feet from anyof GTC' s structures or any attachments to those structures.

11) Under the last paragraph, which is unnumbered, Lee County is agreeingto adopt a Resolution authorizing the execution of this Agreement, and I will preparesuch a Resolution as soon as I am advised that the County is agreeable to entering intothis Agreement. I also note that the last paragraph of the Agreement requires theAgreement to be signed on or before April 29, 2016, and that date has long sincepassed; therefore, the Agreement would need to be updated with a new date. Finally,the last paragraph also provides that the Encroachment Agreement expires one ( 1) yearfrom the date it is executed. I do not know how long the construction in this area will berequired, but that deadline is something that the County needs to take into considerationin its construction activities.

If you have any questions regarding these comments, please let me know.

Otherwise, once it has been decided that the County will agree to this EncroachmentAgreement, please let me know and I will prepare a Resolution for that purpose for thenext regularly scheduled Commission meeting.

RE: Proposed Encroachment Agreement forEasement between Lee County andGeorgia Power CompanyOur File No. 8444/634D

As requested, I have reviewed the proposed Encroachment Agreement betweenLee County and Georgia Transmission Corporation in connection with the Forrester-Westover Road project. I have the following comments as a result of that review:

1) You will recall that I reviewed a proposed Encroachment Agreementbetween Lee County and Georgia Transmission Corporation and sent you aMemorandum about that on June 1, 2016. In comparing the proposed EncroachmentAgreement with Georgia Transmission Corporation and the proposed EncroachmentAgreement with Georgia Power Company, both of those Agreements contain

substantially the same provisions so, as a general matter, my comments about theproposed Georgia Transmission Corporation Agreement will also apply to the proposedGeorgia Power Company Agreement. However, I am issuing a separate Memorandumas to the proposed Georgia Power Company Agreement since that is being handledseparately and is technically a separate Agreement.

49

Ms. Christi DockeryJune 7, 2016

2) The first thing to remember is that Georgia Power Company ("GPC") likelyonly owns an easement across the property which is the subject of this Agreement.Therefore, while this Encroachment Agreement allows the County to encroach upon theGPC easement for purposes of the Forrester-Westover Road project, it does not relievethe County of its obligation to acquire right of way for its new roadway from theunderlying property owner which would actually own the property where the GPCeasement is located. That is more particularly addressed in Paragraph 1 of theAgreement and is a very important point that the County needs to keep in mind.

3) Paragraph 4 of the Agreement provides that Lee County uses the right ofway of GPC at its sole risk and that GPC is relieved of responsibility for damages to theproperty of Lee County which results from the use of the right of way by GPC.

4) In Paragraph 5, there are specific limitations regarding how close to thepower lines and other electric facilities located on the easement that Lee County and itscontractors can use any tools, machinery, or equipment. The County and itscontractors need to make sure that they can at all times comply with those limitations.

5) In Paragraph 6 Lee Countyty is agreeing to reimburse GPC for any costsand expenses incurred by GPC resulting from damage to GPC' s facilities by Lee Countyor its contractors. Lee County also agrees to pay GPC any costs that GPC incurs inmoving its electric facilities to accommodate Lee County's activities.

6) Paragraph 7 contains a provision requiring Lee County to notify GPC atleast three ( 3) business days prior to any Lee County construction on the right of wayby either Lee County or its contractors) under the terms of the Encroachment

Agreement.

7) Paragraph 8 contains an indemnification agreement regarding anydamages to persons or property that either Lee County or its agents, contractors, sub-contractors, etc. cause on the property. Normally, I am of the opinion that

indemnification agreements with respect to a city or county are generally unenforceablein Georgia. While this particular paragraph does not provide that the indemnificationobligation is " to the extent authorized by Georgia law" or some similar language, I stillthink that the indemnification provisions in the Agreement would not be enforceable if aGeorgia court later determined that such provisions are unenforceable. Nevertheless,

you do need to be aware, however, that whether indemnification provisions involvinglocal governments in Georgia are enforceable is not exactly clear from a legal

50

Ms. Christi DockeryJune 7, 2016

perspective, so the County is potentially assuming substantial liability under Paragraph8 of the Agreement.

8) With respect to Paragraph 9, there is a specific requirement that. LeeCounty incorporate into all of its contracts for any work or construction on the GPCeasement with any third persons an indemnification agreement in favor of GPC.Whoever initially drafts the construction agreements should be aware of this Paragraph9 so that the County will not be in default under this Agreement by failing to include thatlanguage.

9) With respect to Paragraph 10, this should also be included in any contractwith a contractor or sub-contractor doing or providing work on the easement right ofway, and that is the requirement that such contractor or sub-contractor have liabilityinsurance in the amount of not less than $2 million per occurrence for bodily injury andproperty damage arising out of Lee County's operations under the EncroachmentAgreement.

10) With respect to Paragraph 12, Lee County and its contractors arerequired to undertake any construction activity at a distance more than 25 feet from anyof GPC's structures or any attachments to those structures.

11) Under the last paragraph, which is unnumbered, Lee County is agreeingto adopt a Resolution authorizing the execution of this Agreement, and I will preparesuch a Resolution as soon as I am advised that the County is agreeable to entering intothis Agreement. I also note that the last paragraph of the Agreement requires theAgreement to be signed on or before August 1, 2016.

If you have any questions regarding these comments, please let me know.

Otherwise, once it has been decided that the County will agree to this EncroachmentAgreement, please let me know and I will prepare a Resolution for that purpose for thenext regularly scheduled Commission meeting.

TO: Honorable Board of County Commissioners

FROM: William" Bill" Walter, MRE, CSI

Masonry Technologies& Services, LLC

SUBJECT: Lee County Courthouse Renovation Contractor Recommendation

MEETING DATE: Tuesday, June 14, 2016

We have completed the initial phase for the vetting of contractors for the Building EnvelopeRestoration project recently bid. After thorough examination, we respectfully submit that MidwestMaintenance, Inc. be awarded this project, Base Bid and alternates to be determined, for their

complete bid submission and with meeting all requirements. In more detail please note the followingbackup information for this decision:

Restore Works

Does not have a Georgia State Contractors License

Does not have an E- Verify registration or numberDid not present any Georgia references as requestedDid not provide contact information for references that were submitted as requested

References submitted did not appear to be comparable to this project, amount of contract as

well as metal work especially

People I contacted on my own in the Chicago area had nothing bad to say about MidwestPressure Washing( their name until recently when changed to Restore Works.) They didcomment that the majority of their exposure to this company was for cleaning facades, not somuch with repair and restoration of elements.

If Restore Works was going to have other subcontractors provide specialized craftsmen to dowork, they did not mention such in their bid.Submitted a 5% check in lieu of a Bid Bond which was not an option

Did not submit an approach to work method, project performance layout per requestDid not submit a complete bidder qualification package as requested

No company financial information was provided as requestedNo craftsman resume or staff information was providedLegal business name provided was not correct

Base Bid was more than 20% below engineers estimate. ( GA state rule states bids are to be

no lower than 20% of estimate.)

Our concern is significant on the ability to perform Base Bid with so little monies allocatedRestore Works was significantly incomplete in their bid submission as requested by thespecifications

Grade: Company background and staff---- 5 pts.

Approach to work method 0 pts.

Similar work experience 5 pts.

Start Date 10 pts.

Warranty 15 pts. 60

Price proposal 10 pts.

TOTAL 45 pts.

Midwest Maintenance, Inc

Does have a Georgia State Contractors License

Does have an E-Verify registration or numberDid present Georgia references as requested

Did provide contact information for references that were submitted as requested

References submitted were very comparable to this project, amount of contract as well asmetal work especially

Submitted a Bid Bond as requested

Did submit a thorough approach to work method, project performance layout per requestDid submit a complete bidder qualification package as requested

Submitted a thorough series of resumes listing management and supervision staff as well ascraftsman resumes

Company financial information was provided as requestedMaintains an office in Georgia

Base Bid was within 20% of engineers estimate

We have no concern on the ability to perform Base Bid and any or all alternatesMidwest Maintenance responded to every request in complete and more than satisfactoryinformation

Grade: Company background and staff---- 15 pts.

Approach to work method 20 pts.

Similar work experience 20 pts.

Start Date 10 pts.

Warranty 15 pts.

Price proposal 20 pts.

TOTAL 100 pts.

Regarding the alternates and unit costs. It is an issue that we can discuss in more detail soon. Myfirst response when I look at both contractors bids are that the unit costs do indicate a relatively evencomparison, although some dramatic ( either too high or too low) figures cause confusion fromRestore Works.

Alternates are proportionate, and can be a matter of how costs are assigned when added to the basebid. If all alternates are chosen to be accepted, that is fine. I do see that if some need to be omitted, wecan make a case to NOT perform M-5 and M-5a along with M-4 and possibly M-3. That could resultin a total project savings of$ 64,000 if we are looking at Midwest Maintenance alternate prices. Thisis just a very preliminary thought.

We can discuss more soon.

After all investigation and review, MRTS officially recommends Midwest Maintenance Inc. for thisproject !!

Subject: Landfill PolicyDate: 6/ 01/ 16

The Lee County Landfill falls under the umbrella of the Public WorksDepartment. There are areas set aside for the disposal of specific items, suchas yard debris, metals, etc. These rules are set down and governed by theEnvironmental Protection Division. There have been several instances ofCompanies, Contractors and Citizens who fail to follow the rules. They haveall kinds of items mixed in with their loads, which they want to dispose of atthe Landfill. We have warned many of these recurrent offenders that theymust separate their loads as they dump. Transwaste which is the Companythat hauls our debris from the Landfill, charges extra fees to remove mixeddebris from our Landfill. This has resulted in higher fees and employeescrawling in to the trash containers removing items, which sometimes resultsin injuries to the employees. We are requesting that the Board ofCommissioners vote to make the Lee County Landfill Policy a CountyOrdinance. Attached is the Landfill Policy.

MEMO

TO: Christi Dockery, Mike Sistrunk

FROM: Rick Muggridge

RE: Courthouse Centennial Celebration— Committee Appointments

On February 23, 1917 seven bids were received for the construction of the new courthouse near the railroad. Thelowest bid was$ 57,960 but this was so much in excess of the designated$ 40,000 budget that all bids were rejected.It was rebid and in May and the successful bidder was R.W. Wimbush& Co. with a bid of$41, 721. The new bid

was accepted and dedication ceremonies were held on July 5, 1917; according to the Lee County History Book.

The Board of Commissioners will be considering a bid for the exterior renovations of the courthouse as of June2016. These renovations are scheduled to be completed by June 30, 2017. Interior renovations include but not

limited to the upgrade of the downstairs courtroom, Wi-Fi accessibility, painting throughout the entire courthouse,

new carpeting and handicap accessibility for the offices of Superior Court, Probate Court, Sheriff and Department ofJuvenile Justice.

Staff recommends appointing a committee to beginning planning for the Courthouse Centennial Celebration for July2017. In addition, the Board can approve a budget line item for this celebration.

Lee County is a thriving, vibrant community celebrated for its value of tradition encompassing a safe family oriented community, schools ofexcellence, and life long opportunities for prosperity and happiness without sacrificing the rural agricultural tapestry.

The Honorable Rick Muggridge, Chairman

Lee County110 Starksville Avenue North

Leesburg, GA 31763

Attention: The Honorable Rick Muggridge, Chairman

Attached is a summary of the ACCG — Interlocal Risk Management Agency (ACCG- IRMA) renewal for theproperty and liability insurance coverage provided to your organization for the coverage period July 1, 2016through July 1, 2017. The entire renewal packet, Contribution Worksheet, invoice and a copy of this letter havebeen provided to the person copied on this letter. This includes an overview of the coverage and services

provided by the ACCG- IRMA, a list of your fellow members, and a service contact list.

This marks our 30th year of providing insurance and risk management services for Georgia countygovernments. The structure of the ACCG- IRMA is designed to insulate the membership from the cycles of thecommercial insurance market, which helps provide stability for county government budgets. Please notehowever, an individual member's renewal contribution may vary based upon the member's particular exposureincreases/decreases as well as its loss experience.

On behalf of the ACCG- IRMA Board of Trustees, I am very pleased to inform you that the Boarddeclared a dividend of$ 2,750, 000 at its May 9, 2016 meeting. This brings the total dividends returnedto the ACCG- IRMA membership to $25.4 million. The fund has always operated conservatively, which hasserved the membership well, especially during the current economic conditions. We are pleased to return

dividends during times when our county government membership needs it the most.

The ACCG- IRMA has the ability to return dividends to its members because it is a member-owned and non-profit organization. Since its creation in 1987, the ACCG- IRMA has grown from its original 14 members to itscurrent membership of 163 and has become a very financially strong program. As stated in the March 31,

2016 ACCG- IRMA financial statement filed with the Georgia Insurance Commissioner's office, it had assets of118 million. While all insurance organizations must maintain a sufficient level of surplus to assure adequate

funding, excess surplus may be returned to the membership. The ACCG- IRMA Board, its consultants andfinancial advisors believe that the ACCG- IRMA's healthy financial position allows for the prudent distribution ofanother dividend with this renewal.

This year, the dividends are derived from non- required surplus funds developed from the coverage periodsOctober 1, 2003 through September 30, 2007. The $ 2,750, 000 dividend will be returned in the form ofdividend credits on the contribution requirement for the term beginning July 1, 2016 for those members whohave had continuous membership in the program since the October 1, 2006 - 2007 coverage period.Your share of the dividend is $ 35,057. Enclosed is a press release should you decide to publicize thisinformation.

In addition to long- term cost savings through dividends, the ACCG- IRMA provides members with a stablesource of broad insurance coverage, comprehensive loss control services and dedicated, professional claimsservices. Because the ACCG—IRMA operates solely for its members, it can provide specialized property andliability insurance coverage and services in a cost-efficient and highly effective manner.

HR Legal Service

ACCG- IRMA introduced a new tool for its members earlier this year—an HR Legal Service designed to

help counties handle difficult employment situations. The member's appointed HR Liaison or themember's public officials or attorney may consult employment law specialists at O' Quinn & Cronin to seek

assistance when needed at no additional cost to the member.

Occurrence and Aggregate for these locations. ( Your standard property deductible applies for all other coveredlocations.) Upon written request from you, our administrator, Marsh, may arrange coverage through the NationalFlood Insurance Program ( NFIP) to satisfy the ACCG- IRMA deductible requirements for locations in SpecialHazard Zones.

Williams at MARSH. Please note on the Contribution Worksheet that we may have offered deductible options inaddition to options for higher limits of liability insurance. The costs of these options are shown on the Worksheet.If you elect to change your deductible(s) or your liability limits, please circle the option(s) you desire. If aclaim occurs after the new coverage period begins and before we receive notice of a change in deductible and/orlimits, last year's deductible and/or limits will apply.

Payment is due upon receipt. If you opt for any changes in your deductibles, limits or coverage, we will invoice youfor the difference upon receipt of your completed Contribution Worksheet.

Attention: Ms. Christi Dockery, County Clerk

Subject: ACCG- IRMA Contribution Breakdown

Several ACCG- IRMA members have asked us for assistance in breaking down the IRMA contribution bydepartment for cost allocation purposes. There are numerous acceptable ways of effectively allocatingthe contribution to the various departments within your county. We have developed one method that willallow you to customize your contribution breakdown according to your county's specific needs. We

have attempted to simplify the allocation process due to the many factors that go into the renewalpricing, so that you can easily allocate the contributions as you see fit.

We have provided a standard exposure basis for each of the coverage areas below as well as theexposures you recently provided to us for the renewal. Also provided is the percentage of contributionfor each category as it relates to your total contribution. Based on this percentage and the exposures

within that category, we have developed an estimated allocated cost per unit for the deductiblepurchased in the previous coverage period. ( If the county chooses a different deductible for the renewalcoverage period, you can pro- rate these costs accordingly). In order to calculate a specific department's

share of the contribution for a particular category, multiply their portion of the total exposure by theallocated cost per unit. In the case of the first category, we suggest that you incorporate an exposurefor the volunteer firefighters; we have included in the suggested allocated cost per unit a payroll of

4,343 per volunteer.

As an example for the first coverage category. if the Road Department has payroll of$ 1, 000,000and an allocated cost per unit for Liability is$ 2.2, you would calculate their portion of thecontribution as follows:

1, 000,000/$ 100 Per Payroll x $ 2.2 = $ 22,000

On the Auto Liability and Physical Damage, for example, if the Road Department has 10 vehicles and anallocated cost per unit is$ 360, you would calculate their portion of the contribution as follows:

10 Vehicles x $ 360 = $ 3, 600

For the Property and Boiler& Machinery coverage, if the Road Department has$ 2,000, 000 in totalinsurable values according to the ACCG- IRMA Statement of Values form and an allocated cost per unitof$. 094, you would calculate their portion of the contribution as follows:

2, 000,000/$ 100 PerTIV x . 094 = $ 1, 880

As for the Excess Liability that your county may have purchased, since the coverage applies excessover your General Liability, Public Officials Liability, Law Enforcement Liability and Auto Liabilitycoverages, you could allocate the same proportion of the Excess Liability to each of the departments.For instance, if the Road Department is responsible for 20% of the General Liability, Public Officials

Liability, Law Enforcement Liability and Auto Liability contributions according to the above cost allocationprocess, they would pay 20% of the Excess Liability contributions. The same principal could apply to theSafety and Dividend Credits, if you received them for this Coverage Period, and you would like itcredited to each of the departments.

Of course, if you have any questions about how to work with this suggested format or if you have anyother questions about the allocation of costs, please give me a call. As always, we appreciate yourmembership in the ACCG- IRMA and look forward to working with you in the coming year.

MEETING DATE: Tuesday, June 14, 2016

MOTION/ RECOMMENDATION

Consideration to approve leasing the properties described above to the adjacent propertyowners, Toby and Frank Cox and approve the attached Resolution and Lease Agreements.Lessee has provided a copy of their home owners insurance.

BACKGROUND

The County purchased property that was flooded during 1994 through GEMA and FEMA' sHazard Mitigation Grant Program. These properties are located in residential areas. After theproperties were acquired, the County, with the financial assistance from GEMA and FEMA,demolished all of the improvements on the properties.

Since the County owns the properties in perpetuity, the County must now maintain them ( i.e.mow, stop illegal dumping, repair erosion problems, etc.). County staff contacted FEMA andGEMA to determine if the properties can be leased to the adjoining property owners. GEMAand FEMA agreed to allow the County to lease the properties to the adjacent property owner(s)under the same restrictions the County is under.

County staff has also checked each lot to ensure that all leased lots are in compliance with theGEMA and FEMA regulations. The following page indicates which property will be leased.

MEMORANDUM

LEE COUNTY BOARD OF

COMMISSIONERS

LEE COUNTYLife works well here.

TO: Honorable Board of County Commissioners

SUBJECT: Hazard Mitigation Property Lease: 119 Creekside Place

MEETING DATE: Tuesday, June 14, 2016

MOTION/ RECOMMENDATION

Consideration to approve leasing the property described above to the adjacent property owner,Jonathan Tholan and approve the attached Lease Agreement. Lessee has provided a copy oftheir home owners insurance.

BACKGROUND

The County purchased property that was flooded during 1994 through GEMA and FEMA' sHazard Mitigation Grant Program. These properties are located in residential areas. After the

properties were acquired, the County, with the financial assistance from GEMA and FEMA,demolished all of the improvements on the properties.

Since the County owns the properties in perpetuity, the County must now maintain them ( i.e.mow, stop illegal dumping, repair erosion problems, etc.). County staff contacted FEMA andGEMA to determine if the properties can be leased to the adjoining property owners. GEMAand FEMA agreed to allow the County to lease the properties to the adjacent property owner(s)under the same restrictions the County is under.

County staff has also checked each lot to ensure that all leased lots are in compliance with theGEMA and FEMA regulations. The following page indicates which property will be leased.

Re: Proposed contract for the second half of 20 16

Dear Sir or Madam:

Enclosed please find the proposed contract and budget that I have drafted for the 6 month period fromJuly 1, 2016 to December 31, 2016.

Regarding the small increase in the budget, you may note a few changes from the prior budget. Noneof these changes relate to any raised; rather, these changes are:

I) All of our county funded employees get state benefits so when the state slightly raised the benefitspercentages ( healthcare percentage from 30.454% to 33. 214% and pension 24.72% to

24.8 I%), we had to make those changes in the budget;

2) In the prior 6 month contract, we had to temporarily lower the operating expenses to remainunder the 5% cap set out in Section 4.0 I of the contract. We are not asking to go back to theoriginal operating expenses figure but we did need to go up a little bit.

110

Page 2

June 12, 2016

Please review the proposed contract and budget and let me know whether or not you would like me tocome present it to your Commission. I will also be happy to answer any questions or address any issuesthat you may have at any time. Thank you for all of your support through the years.

Sincerely,

Samuel G. MerrittENCLOSURES
