Clark County Commissioners approved a $10 fee for any resident submitting a sales disclosure form in the assessor’s office who wants office employees to fill out the form online. The state now requires all sales disclosures to be submitted online in addition to submitting them to the assessor.
Clark County Assessor Vicky Haire said at a Thursday meeting that for employees to fill out the online form, it takes a lot of time. She hopes the fee will encourage residents to either fill out the form on the computer in the assessor’s office available for public use, or submit the form from a home computer.
A $10 fee is already charged to submit the forms in the office, but an additional fee will now be required for any person who chooses to have the assessor fill out the form online. The new fee will be placed in a nonreverting fund for use by the assessor. It takes effect Oct. 24.
The commissioners also approved a contract to fix incorrect mapping of parcels in the county. Haire said there are 8,900 parcels that are missing information required by the state.

• The commissioners approved three grants for the health department. One will be used to purchase an enclosed trailer to be used by the department during disasters; another is for the department’s sexually transmitted disease clinic; and the third will be used for the department’s prenatal substance abuse prevention program.
• The commissioners opened bids Thursday for work on section one of the Sunset Hills subdivision. Three bids were received — at $18,353, $45,236, and $17,810. Drainage board engineer Brian Dixon estimated the work would cost around $19,000 to complete.
No bids were approved, because Dixon, surveyor Bob Isgrigg and highway engineer Hyun Lee need to meet to revise the plans. Isgrigg had an issue with the unknown location of utilities.
Dixon said he had been waiting on Isgrigg to provide him with the location of the utilities because he originally drew the plans for section one prior to its construction.
• Commissioners approved a plan to begin a traffic study at Salem-Noble Road and Ind. 62. Commissioner Mike Moore wants to get a traffic light installed at the intersection, and the traffic signal study is the first step in the process.
The study will provide a specific decision as to whether a light is needed. Commissioner Ed Meyer said Jeffersonville Mayor Tom Galligan expressed interest in working with the county and splitting the cost of the study, which is estimated to be about $3,500.
