Andy Bello who is a consultant with Sheakley UniService, Inc. They are a third party worker's compensation representative. He had presented a contract earlier in the month and came to speak to council regarding his services. Stated he had done some comparison with his company and out current consultant. He feels his company would do a good service to the village. They provide many services including handicap reimbursements which looks at the injured worker's claims and could lower employer's rate and not affect the worker's claim. They are vying for our business and this does include a yearly agreement with a 90 days risk free period. Mayor thanked him for coming.
Ed Hughes and Daniel Cassidy from the Counseling Center. Mr. Hughes spoke to council and audience regarding the rehab house located on Harrisonville Avenue. They provide long term housing for people who have been given a second chance for drug rehab. In the past they have learned that the 90 day rehab was just not enough. About 10 years ago they started a program for transitional housing or sober house which provides them a home to go to after the drug rehab. The county commissioners contacted them and offered the home on Harrisonville which became vacant. Apologized to community for not knowing sooner that they have moved in. Mr. Cassidy, Program Director, stated his program helps to get the people more stable in the community. Several have jobs in the area and are monitored closely. They are under the court system and on probation. The is zero tolerance. They are helping these people be better citizens. There is a manager and up to 8 residents. No guests are allowed. They are on probation and they do have a curfew. Mayor asked if any problems would exist because of being across from the school. Mr. Cassidy stated there should be no problems. He said there probably be less risk with these men because they are on probabtion and would go to jail if any problems. Kevin McQuithy stated he was concerned with his son being on playground. Mr. Cassidy stated they could make any area off limits to their residents. Mindy Bloomfield also stated she is concerned with being located by the school. She asked about what tax revenue would be generated from this house. He stated income tax would be paid from anyone working. Dave Justice voiced his concerns stating these people are repeat offenders and feel this would be a trouble area for our village. Stated they would be very closely watched by him. Feels the community should have been informed beforehand. Mayor stated that is why we were all here to get all the information regarding the sober house. He asked the solicitor to review the facts. Bryce Flowers asked if the meetings held here at the community center were successful. Does not understand why there is a problem with the house being located in the village. Asked if house is not properly managed would it be closed down. Mr. Hughes stated it would be. Mrs. Potts stated she does not feel safe for her children if the house is used as a sober house. She is very worried and will affect her sense of security. Dana Raike also stated her concerns. Asked how far would they let the problems go before it is closed. Mr. Hughes stated if the house could not be controlled it would be closed.

He feels his company would do a good service to the village. They provide many services including handicap reimbursements which looks at the injured worker's claims and could lower employer's rate and not affect the worker's claim. They are vying for our business and this does include a yearly agreement with a 90 days risk free period. Mayor thanked him for coming.
Ed Hughes and Daniel Cassidy from the Counseling Center. Mr. Hughes spoke to council and audience regarding the rehab house located on Harrisonville Avenue. They provide long term housing for people who have been given a second chance for drug rehab. In the past they have learned that the 90 day rehab was just not enough. About 10 years ago they started a program for transitional housing or sober house which provides them a home to go to after the drug rehab. The county commissioners contacted them and offered the home on Harrisonville which became vacant. Apologized to community for not knowing sooner that they have moved in.

They are on probation and they do have a curfew. Mayor asked if any problems would exist because of being across from the school. Mr. Cassidy stated there should be no problems. He said there probably be less risk with these men because they are on probabtion and would go to jail if any problems. Kevin McQuithy stated he was concerned with his son being on playground. Mr. Cassidy stated they could make any area off limits to their residents. Mindy Bloomfield also stated she is concerned with being located by the school. She asked about what tax revenue would be generated from this house. He stated income tax would be paid from anyone working. Dave Justice voiced his concerns stating these people are repeat offenders and feel this would be a trouble area for our village. Stated they would be very closely watched by him. Feels the community should have been informed beforehand. Mayor stated that is why we were all here to get all the information regarding the sober house. He asked the solicitor to review the facts. Bryce Flowers asked if the meetings held here at the community center were successful. Does not understand why there is a problem with the house being located in the village. Asked if house is not properly managed would it be closed down. Mr. Hughes stated it would be. Mrs. Potts stated she does not feel safe for her children if the house is used as a sober house.
