AGENDA ITEMS
5:00 P.M. Discussion and announcement of proposed program of the Prosecuting Attorney’s Office for the collection and litigation of individuals and businesses who tender worthless checks to the County of Kanawha County
Commission President Kent CarperThe Honorable Mark A. Plants, Prosecuting AttorneyMaryclaire Akers, Chief of Staff, Prosecuting Attorney’s Office
Rob Schulenberg, Assistant Prosecuting Attorney
Mr. Schulenburg stated that the Sheriff’s Office has a problem with receiving NSF checks for payment of property taxes and vehicle license registration. He stated that 24 “first shot polite” letters were sent out the first two weeks of September. Of those only one has been resolved. He stated the next step is to send the statutory form letter. Commissioner Hardy inquired as to if the names of the

Page 9 of 29
individuals were published in the newspaper. It was stated that they are not. Commissioner Hardy and Commissioner Carper feel this should be done. Mr. Schulenburg stated that the DMV has the right to revoke registration upon receipt of an NSF check, but there is no law stating that the sheriff has the same authority. Mr. Bleigh stated that currently the largest check amount is approximately $900, but they have had them as high as $10,000. He also stated that the problem is with the over the counter payments. His office does hold mail payment receipts for 10 days to verify that the check clears, but when a taxpayer comes into the office in person to pay they receive their receipt right then. Commissioner Hardy moved to approve publication of the list of names for individuals who currently have NSF checks on file with the Sheriff’s Office. He stated that this is public information. Commissioner Shores seconded. Motion carried. Commissioner Carper instructed staff to send a letter to the Sheriff’s Office stating the request for publication of the names.
Update relating to the collection of Hotel/Motel TaxesCommission President Kent CarperAllen Bleigh, Chief Tax Deputy
Mr. Bleigh stated that his office is currently working on the issue with Hotel/Motel tax. Commissioner Shores feels that the amounts could be substantial. Commissioner Carper stated that previously this was strictly based on the honor system, but feels this should be audited. Mr. Bleigh stated that everyone is complying and he believes the issue is in the interpretation as to when the tax does not have to be paid. It was stated that there will be prosecution for failing to submit payment.

Wing and Kay Ashworth, and Fred Hypes from Dunn Engineers, the lead engineer on the job, to the commission. He stated that Phase 1 has been completed at a cost of $1.8 million.

Phase 2 is funded by federal stimulus money. Phase 3 is not ready yet. It is designed but it is not funded at this time. Bids received have been under estimates. Phase 2 should be under construction by the end of the year. Mr. Hypes demonstrated the areas that will be serviced on a detailed map. He stated that the area runs from the Upper Falls all the way to the Kanawha River. Mr. Hanna stated that the current sewer rate is about $50 and there has been minimal protest with the high rate. Commissioner Shores and Commissioner Hardy inquired as to if Boone County is doing their part with the clean up of the upper part of the Coal River. Mr. Curry stated that they have completed research with Marshall University and found that the highest Ecoli levels were found in this area that is going to be served. Commissioner Carper stated that Pratt will vote on a final resolution on October 13th. He stated that the idea is to create a similar consolidated system with them. Mr. Hanna confirmed that to be the plan. Commissioner Carper applauded their work.

Marc Slotnick stated that the purpose section of the county’s current ordinance tracks the language of state law 61.8.19. Mr. Smith stated that he does not object to the intent of the ordinance. His concern is with the misinterpretation of the language. He used the example of the word “bait”, being misinterpreted. He suggested deleting the phrase with reference to baiting. He redrafted the ordinance and is willing to meet with staff to craft a statute that will fulfill the intended purpose. He addressed the statement against the use of boxes and barrels for shelter. He stated that a dog house is a wooden box. Commissioner Hardy stated that he will take a look at the redrafted ordinance. Mr. Smith wants to make clear that he is not against the purpose of the ordinance. Commissioner Shores inquired as to the temperature discrepancies. Mr. Smith stated that he has hunted in temperatures below 35 degrees. Commissioner Carper inquired as to the changing of the word “clean” to
MINUTES FOR COMMISSIONMEETING OF OCTOBER 1, 2009

“adequate” with reference to water. Commissioner Carper felt this would be ambiguous and there would be no ability to enforce the ordinance. Commissioner Hardy stated that some of the changes make the ordinance more stringent, for example sanitary shelter adding the word “safe”. He will look at the changes and some he may disagree with and some may be better. He also inserted the word Fahrenheit to define temperature guidelines. Commissioners agreed to this change. Mr. Smith stated that he does not want to make the ordinance unenforceable. Commissioner Carper stated that the word adequate makes it difficult to enforce. Commission Carper stated that chained dogs become more aggressive and they become prey to other animals. Mr. Smith would suspect that to be true. Mr. Smith also disagrees with the idea of having to keep eyes on the dog while chained. This should be eliminated from the ordinance. Commissioner Carper moved that this matter go to the planning commission and the Humane Society. There will be a meeting with staff prior to the planning commission meeting. The commission will then vote on the recommendations of the planning commission. Roger Wolfe stated that the Humane Society would like a chance to review the changes. Shawn Romano was present for the Bear Hunter’s Association to provide commission with an update. Commissioner Carper stated that the commission is looking at the suggestions he has submitted. Mr. Romano stated that they all have the same goal, which is the prevention of inhumane treatment of animals. Commissioner Caper added the ability to prevent this with an ordinance that can be enforced. Mr. Romano agreed. Ms. Clark of the Humane Society stated that over 6000 dogs are euthanized annually. Commissioner Carper stated that there needs to be a balance with this ordinance. He instructed staff to set up a preliminary discussion with interested parties, the Humane Society and the Planning Commission. Commissioner Shores stated that the law is needed for the technical issues. Marc Slotnick has forwarded all information to the Humane Society. Commissioner Carper ordered that the commission notice a meeting for an informational discussion within the next 30 days then take the topic to the planning commission before the end of the year. It will then come back to the commission before the end of the 6 months. Gary Knapp stated the difference between clean and adequate water is the ability for the water to pass a test at the water plant. Commissioner Carper understands the difference. His concern, for example, is with instances such as frozen water. Mr. Knapp stated that this could give ammo for fighting neighbors. Commissioner Carper feels that it is possible to adopt an ordinance that everyone agrees with. An individual presented a picture on cell phone to commissioners for the purpose of getting an opinion as to humane or inhumane treatment. Commissioners were not able to adequately see the picture to state an opinion. It was stated that the picture was taken from the Humane Society. The Humane Society stated that was temporary shelter. Commissioner Carper stated that the matter is moved as previously stated.
6:00 p.m. Public Hearing on the Street Closing Application of Harley Jones and Barbara Jones for Street Closing, part of Walker Street which runs between Third Avenue and the Elk River, Walker Addition, Elk District, Tax Map 23B, Between parcels 110 and 97, Kanawha County, West Virginia

John Luoni, Deputy Planning DirectorMarc J. Slotnick, County Attorney
David Moye was present representing Harley Jones. He stated that Mr. Jones has had a garage and porch built on this section of property for over 25 years. There has been one opposition to the street closing in the community. Buddy Skaff was present and stated that the street is located between his property and Mr. Jones property. He feels this closing will devalue his property and deny access to the river. Mr. Slotnick stated that adverse possession does not apply to this situation. Mr. Moye stated that when Mr. Jones built the structures on the street property he was not aware that it was not his property. It was stated that banks no longer require surveys upon purchase so he never knew where his property lines were located. John Luoni verified that all adjacent properties received proper notice of the request for the closing. Commissioners feel that possibly an agreement could be reached between the two owners that would save them the time and money of going to court. Mr. Slotnick recommended that the commission reject the application. Commissioner Hardy moved to uphold the Planning Commission decision of rejecting the application. Commissioner Shores seconded. Motion carried.

Commission President Kent Carper David Armstrong, Planning Director Steve Neddo, Clerk of the Works Marc J. Slotnick, County Attorney
Commissioner Carper moved to approve the addendum to the Methamphetamine Section of the Kanawha County Public Nuisance Ordinance. Commissioner Shores seconded. Dave Armstrong stated that the first year he was in charge of methamphetamine properties, the county boarded up 50 properties, last year was 30, and so far this year there have been 15. The approximate cost of each is $500. It was stated that Mr. Armstrong, Chuck Grishaber, and the maintenance department are the individuals that board up the locations. Mr. Armstrong stated that law enforcement is always present. Motion carried.

AND BOLD PRINT DENOTES EMERGENCY ITEM
Commissioner Carper stated there was an emergency check for reimbursement to Magistrate Harshbarger in the amount of $358.90. This is to reimburse home landline telephone charges. Commission was not aware of the obligation to pay for magistrates’ home phone bills. Commissioner Hardy moved to table the item until next meeting. Commissioner Carper stated that the item is an emergency request by the magistrate so he approves the check under the condition that the county attorney, the CFO, and the County Clerk say that it is proper. He would like to see the code that authorizes this payment and states that this is the obligation of the County Commission to pay. Commissioner Shores seconded. Commissioner Hardy voted no. Motion carried.
