Meeting Notes of Appointments

• Claudia Fickel, County Auditor – Ms. Fickel explained her budget to Commissioner Holtsberry. Ms. Fickel then reiterated her point for needing additional funding for her office.  She then informed the Commissioners that she will be doing away with monthly payroll and only doing bi-weekly payroll for the following entities:  Veterans Board and employees, Law Library, Board of Elections Board, Estate Tax Commissioner, Coroner and the Sheriff’s employees. 

• Lou Wannemacher, County Treasurer – Ms. Wannemacher brought her budget down for the Commissioners review.  Commissioner Klopfenstein thanked Ms. Wannemacher for working with them on the budget.  Ms. Wannemacher informed the Commissioners that she is testing a cash discriminator machine in her office.  Ms. Wannemacher noted that counterfeit money is getting so easy to pass through anymore.  It would be up to the County to make it whole if we get any counterfeit dollars.  Ms. Wannemacher pointed out the need to keep her office safe and she feels that it is something that we should look into.  The cost is around $2495 for the machine and DRETAC funds can pay for the machine. Commissioner Klopfenstein noted that if it is within your budget and it would eliminate your risk, then you have the Commissioners’ support.

• The Defiance Paulding Consolidated Joint Job & Family Services Meeting was held in the Commissioners’ Chambers with the Paulding and Defiance County Commissioners present, along with Stephanie Metz, Defiance County Commissioners’ Clerk and Corey Walker, Director of Job & Family Services.
