So Inliner Solutions LLC Agreement — The contract has been reviewed and everything appears to be in order. There were no questions from Council. A motion to approve the contract with Inliner Solutions LLC was made by Councilman Swinney second by Councilman Stanley. Motion carried 5-0. Verizon Wireless —Steve Potter with Verizon Wireless presented the Council with pricing for cell phones. The Town currently has accounts with Verizon on the GSA government contract. The current pricing for unlimited talk, text, and data under that contract is $48.75 per line, per month. Voice only is $34.99 per month. Every quarter there are free phones available, currently an iPhone SE or Samsung S20 5G. The contract is for one year and there are no early termination fees. Phones are upgradable every ten months and have a one-year warranty so there is no need to carry insurance on the phones, which would be an additional savings. If phones are purchased, we would receive the government pricing no matter how many phones are purchased. Phones can either be added to the current accounts, create subaccounts, or add new, separate accounts. Steve Potter stated the easiest thing would be to just add new lines to the existing accounts. Councilman Williams asked how Verizon handles records. Steve stated all records are kept private and only released with a subpoena. He believes they are kept for a period of at least three years. Legal stated we will want to make sure the required retention schedule is followed in case there would be a request. Councilman Cook asked how soon we would receive phones and Steve said they are shipped second day. President Warthen stated this will give us the information we need so it can be discussed during the budget process. 145 E HIGH AND 140 E SOUTH —Janet Zimmerman, owner of Jamy's Auto was back to follow up on her issue with drainage. She stated the work that Dave Moore did on the blacktop did not fix the problem. She is asking who is responsible for the drain. It is 70 feet onto her property. She doesn't know if it is her responsibility or the Town's and if there is an easement. She stated Dave Moore said it runs from one end of her property to the other. She is willing to fix it if it is her responsibility or give an easement if it is the Town's. She also stated that when they removed the blacktop, she had two lanes going in and out of her property and when they put it back, they only put back one. President Warthen asked Dave Moore to get a vac truck or camera and try to figure out how the infrastructure is laid out. Mrs. Zimmerman is doing a title search to try to get additional information. President Warthen told her the Town will delve into it. She also wanted to discuss several thefts and vandalisms that has taken place at her business and others in the area. She would like to see increased patrols in that area. She also stated that someone who was caught on camera, stealing catalytic converters from Jamy's Auto was caught by Mooresville PD and was let go because he returned the property. Brownsburg PD called the next day and said they had a warrant out for him. President Warthen stated that the public's comments help make the department better by bringing awareness to the issues and that the Police Commission oversees the police department. Councilman Williams suggested they contact the new police chief. Unkept Properties — Dave Moore was able to make contact with the property owner on Washington Street and he stated he is putting money together to put a roof on his building and he is trying but nothing has been done. The owner was in the audience and President Warthen told him we want to see some effort moving forward with the cleanup around the outside of his building. The owner of the other property south of town told Councilman Swinney and Dave Moore that he is hiring a crew to clean up the property. Dave said there is some improvement. Councilman Williams asked Dave is he wanted to move forward with legal and he stated they were moving forward. Department Head Reports — Street Superintendent, Dave Moore, reported they are working on the next round of Community Crossings Grants and on North Monroe Street, the State had gotten right of way from the homeowners but never had them recorded. With the improvements planned for Carlisle and Monroe, that needs to be cleaned up. Jeff Banning of Banning Engineering was in the audience and he stated some of the properties have ownership to the center of the road and since the State has turned that over to the Town, they will need
