-In 2015, the Division of Water Resources started the Cow Creek Watershed Floodplain Mapping Study. After input from the Cow Creek Work Group, the Letter of Final Determination was signed August, 2018, giving Barton County six months to update floodplain management documents. A Public Hearing was held on October 8, 2018 to review the proposed revisions. The Barton County Planning Commission recommends that the County Commissioners adopt the proposed changes to the regulations and the map as presented. Barry McManaman, County Engineer, and Judy Goreham, Environmental Manager, will provide details.

B. 2018 TAX SALE:
-The annual Tax Sale was held on October 23, 2018. At the time of the sale, 26 parcels remained. The County sold all 26 tracts. Jim Jordan, County Treasurer, will provide an update on the auction.

C. JUVENILE SERVICES: Corrective Action – Electric Door Locks and Access Controlling Software:
-On September 4, 2018, the Commission approved replacing the mechanical keypad locks with electronic door locks for Juvenile Services. The electronic locks come with software that can be remotely programmed. The $5,004.56 cost was split between the General Fund and various Juvenile Services accounts. Marissa Woodmansee, Juvenile Services Director, will ask that the Commission rescind the original motion and take corrective action.

D. JUVENILE SERVICES: Reinvestment Grant – Family Engagement and Advocacy Program:
-Juvenile Services has applied for a Reinvestment Grant to develop a Family Engagement and Advocacy Program featuring a Job Readiness Coach. In doing so, Juvenile Services has partnered with the Healing Hearts Ranch. This program is designed to provide a strength-based and solution focused approach with parents and youth who are facing criminal charges or have been adjudicated as an offender. By recognizing the important role families can play in the supervision and rehabilitation of the identified at risk population, program goals are to change the culture of “us versus them” and start building cooperative relationships. Ms. Woodmansee will provide details.

E. SOLID WASTE: Caterpillar Certified Power Train Rebuild:
-The Landfill operates a 615C Scraper to move soil for cover material and access road maintenance. This scraper was purchased used and currently has over 10,000 hours.
