County GIS staff told commissioners the upgrade is timely because Esri is changing its licensing model from per-computer to role-based online licenses. The presenter said ArcGIS Enterprise would streamline field mapping workflows, consolidate databases used for permitting and allow immediate updates to public-facing systems like Beacon, reducing manual transfer steps.

“Any field users just go in and check out what they wanna use. They update it. They check it back in, and it's immediate,” the county GIS staff member said during the presentation.

The presenter gave a high-level cost estimate: a one-time installation and setup in the first year of roughly $30,000–$40,000 (including vendor assistance) and an expected ongoing maintenance cost similar to the county’s current Esri spend (about $8,000 per year after the initial year). The presenter said local implementation partners are being solicited for lower-cost setup quotes and that additional server capacity will be required to host county data.

Commissioners voted to allow staff to proceed with procurement and to present formal budget requests to the county council as needed.

The authorization permits staff to obtain final quotes and return with firm cost and funding requests; no appropriations were made at the meeting.","Commissioners gave staff permission to begin procurement and budgeting steps for an ArcGIS Enterprise upgrade in 2026 after a presentation on licensing changes, workflow benefits and estimated costs.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6740987,"Henry County YMCA seeks county sponsorship for proposed expansion, OCRA grant request",513,2186000,2699000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5344829-88800e7f48fae0183b3474a7d95e1fca&start=2186&end=2699","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5344829-88800e7f48fae0183b3474a7d95e1fca/thumbnail_2186000.jpg","/articles/6740987/Henry-County/Indiana/Henry-County-YMCA-seeks-county-sponsorship-for-proposed-expansion-OCRA-grant-request","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6740987-2d68ab4bf5b42b24045563159011aabf/orig.mp4?Expires=1771122508&Signature=bBwg8VCyNvu9HcmaDegBnYm43uUY69KDPwmeCNQryRMrQ0zL~tf5ZM3167eodZozqhEoa0Y2JFDorLUkxRTh9S~cjh1rdwr0E7igJGkNt-46qUFhbNziqf1IwyMWAbvhznb14K2l1CkcY4ggVAluPKQQx~EF7lXvKxwcBswvpEUWm7DWdHLj0a7RELRlzCzcZxTDv7Bc4oqKB2GE-LLZ9lMFAcBdK-etbREBAl4GvFlQN5RZAAFsfAT9AKSXjuntK3-aqxXb5LabR4QIVm2kns-g571YulevkVa~SjnUNyE4po2qrGsFAk4aYioo42kF0FYsI-UqoK1V4KdRWvEsIA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Shannon McLeod, a federal grant writer, and Kelsey Smith, director of youth development at the Henry County YMCA, briefed the Henry County Board of Commissioners on a proposed facility expansion and asked the county to consider sponsoring an Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs (OCRA) grant application in the fall if the city cannot do so.

Kelsey Smith said Henry County is a childcare desert with more children in need of care than available seats. She described the proposed expansion as adding four classrooms to double the YMCA’s summer-program capacity (from 40 to about 80 children), provide space for before- and after-school care and expand access to wellness facilities.

“We started thinking, like, how could we serve that need? … Our project that we're working on is an extension of our facility. The main part being 4 additional classrooms, which we will use for before and after school care,” Kelsey Smith said.

Shannon McLeod said the project’s estimated cost is just under $2 million. The YMCA is conducting a capital campaign and pursuing local funding; the grant sought from OCRA would be for $750,000 if the county agreed to sponsor an application. McLeod said proposal windows are expected this fall (proposal due Oct. 24, full application due Dec. 19) and that timing may depend on the status of the county’s Expo project and any city sponsorship.

Commissioners did not take action but were asked to consider sponsorship if the Expo building funding and contracting timeline allow concurrent applications later in the year.","YMCA leaders and a grant writer outlined a plan to add four classrooms and expand capacity, requesting the county consider sponsoring an OCCRA grant application should the Expo project proceed and the city be unable to sponsor.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6740991,"County insurance update: health plan performs below claims, property renewals bring new wind/hail deductible",373,781000,1154000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5344829-88800e7f48fae0183b3474a7d95e1fca&start=781&end=1154","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5344829-88800e7f48fae0183b3474a7d95e1fca/thumbnail_781000.jpg","/articles/6740991/Henry-County/Indiana/County-insurance-update-health-plan-performs-below-claims-property-renewals-bring-new-windhail-deductible","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6740991-39357a5b7971eb66c97e73b98b6f191a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771122508&Signature=L8DcOA3qRTlQ1EswjOIsKHRW93ShQi-dq-DPaEZPB4dxQ46CSpzpC-hBnChTxRyfIa6p8ZkAVHyo4okj2wbmwQOOqYsJ1QAvOgIs5vMO7INMXk-3B4Mjk9r8I0zqR77FhqaFh4W6xqDqnlq4AaDlS1Q-ogVUAXUQSONSpnFRrEnHefc3QTqA580pkYKJw~egVnk98j-TBOfPBPppEZRwp6pZ9I~VdwbRrfKXo2DgCtMFDVrEHH8Emyi0XLEEqqK7VHND3s-jQI7tfrRUcrlwwesTMFsHAXxHG9Zj02yvWHLKQ1JdN~JHhTL1hqyMUPCHHP9mkbAUikRwExnecXaNTg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Henry County Board of Commissioners received a detailed risk management and insurance renewal update covering employee health claims, property and casualty renewals, and workers' compensation exposure.

County staff reported the insured health plan closed the most recent 12-month period about $750,000 under expected claims. Staff said some large claims were covered by stop-loss insurance and noted the final month can include pendings, but overall performance was favorable.

On property insurance renewals, staff said carriers have shifted to larger per-event wind/hail deductibles. Travelers proposed a $150,000 per-occurrence wind/hail deductible for the county’s property schedule. Staff described buy-down options from specialty markets (for example, Lloyd's of London) that could reduce the county’s per-event exposure for an additional premium in some cases, and said underwriters will review roof-condition information to price any buy-downs.

“...there are carriers out there, primarily Lloyd's of London, that'll do wind buy down quotes,” the presenter said, describing options used by other municipalities.

Staff also reported a property-limit increase on the county schedule (approximately $3 million added for a hall of fame expansion) and that overall property rates were projected to rise about 10 percent. Workers' compensation remains the largest premium line; the county's experience mod increased (from earlier years) and contributed to pricing pressure, though a carrier rate reduction partly offset that increase for the renewal. Staff said the experience mod calculation lags current-year improvements and forecast the mod could decline next year if recent favorable claim experience holds.

No formal action was taken; staff advised commissioners on timing (the July 15 renewal date for some lines) and requested authority to pursue buy-down quotes and gather roof-condition data to present options for coverage changes.

Commissioners asked staff to provide roof-condition information and buy-down options to evaluate cost-effectiveness before making changes to coverage.","County staff reported the health plan finished the 12-month period $750,000 below expected claims and reviewed property, inland marine, cyber and workers' compensation renewals, including a market-driven $150,000 per-occurrence wind/hail deductible and a workers' comp experience modification rise.","actionData","errors"]
