Item #20: Discussion and possible action regarding the American Recovery Plan 2021 funds directed to Creek County by the federal government. Goforth gave the Board and update on the Report being filed and the continued issues with SAMS.GOV. We possibly need to involve NACO, Stephens stated he will work with Goforth on contact at NACO, to see if the issue with SAMS.GOV can be explained and cleared up. (1) A motion was made by Warner and seconded by Whitehouse to approve the increase of $13,547.16 and encumber a PO to Metro Emergency Upfitters LLC and cancel PO with LightEm Up. Project#1566-6.1-0200-4110. Vote as follows: Stephens - Aye, Warner - Aye, Whitehouse - Aye. Goforth spoke about the District Attorney's Vehicle and Upfit Request. The vehicles should be here anytime the vendor is honoring the previous price. We have had to cancel the upfit, due to the delay of the vehicle and new fiscal year. Now a newer model 2022 Ford F150 being received. The original request was approximately 114,000.00, with the upfit of $13,314.00 included in that total. Since, the shortage and all the current inflation costs, the cost for upfitting has more than doubled to a total of $26,861.16, we are requesting an additional $13,547.16 to honor current pricing and new National Standards on Police Package vehicles. This will help save the warrant as well, with the additional request. Also, we would like to change the vendor to Metro Emergency Upfitters LLC. Goforth spoke briefly about the company and how it would like to come and make some of the issues the Sheriff's Office has had with programming right. (2) DISCUSSION ONLY/NO ACTION to consider using ARPA funds for the purchase of AED units and First Aid Kits for the fair grounds. Jonatan Kieffer, presented quotes to the Board for three AED units and First Aid kits, we would like to make our fair grounds safer. The approximate cost is $2,255.77 per unit. Kieffer spoke about the one AED unit that no longer works that is located in the OSU Extension Office. Jacob Pilgrim, Emergency Management spoke about wanting to add three units for the Courthouse, Collins Building and the Sheriff's Office and possibly the Election Board. Pilgram spoke about the current AED units and how easy it is to utilize on in an emergency situation. Stephens asked that this be passed until next week for him to contact Cintas and see about group pricing. Warner inquired about training of equipment and CPR classes. Pilgram stated he and Covey Murray could train the employees on the AED units. Warner asked about CPR classes, Stephens stated that Creek County Ambulance would teach some classes to the County, I will get with them for more information. We will revisit this item next week. (3) A motion was made by Stephens and seconded by Whitehouse to approve the use of ARPA Payroll Funds for a 2" asphalt overlay on the Courthouse Complex Parking lot and striping in the amount of $94,990.00 to Dunham's Asphalt. Vote as follows: Stephens - Aye, Warner - Aye, Whitehouse - Aye. Stephens presented a packet with the drawing of the proposed complex parking lot repairs and overlay, this will be done on the weekends, so that there is minimal interruption. This is a great way to save this cost from our budget, as well. Project#1566-6.1-2000-4110. (4) DISCUSSION ONLY/NO ACTION to consider using ARPA Funds on road and bridge projects. None at this time.
