New Business

Employee Acknowledgement Form:
Mrs. Meager, Mrs. Freese and Mr. D’Andrea turned in their forms.

Policy on rent at airport for special events: Mrs. Schumacher talked to Mr. Ruben regarding charging the Balloon Fest for renting the airport. The reason the County Board has to charge the Balloon Fest is because they take up acres causing the farmer not to be able to plant there. Mrs. Meager reported because the Airport is funded by grant money; the county has to show some income. The county will discuss on a case- by-case basis.

Policy on county support local organizations: The committee talked about supporting other organizations around Logan County. Right now the County Board supports the Balloon Fest. Mr. Blankenship would like to have one fund to support local organizations but each community would get so much money to support their event. Mr. Bateman feels the County needs to support all events and not just pick one event to support.

Template for committee agenda: Mrs. Schumacher asked Mrs. Freese to send her all the committee agendas. Mrs. Schumacher asked Mrs. Freese to include “Public Comments” and the reasons for executive session listed on each agenda. Mrs. Schumacher wants Mrs. Freese to take “motion to approve bills” off executive agendas.
 

Mr. Hepler reported he received a phone call from the DeWitt County Board Chairman asking the County Board to write a letter in support of Exelon.

A motion was made by Mr. Anderson, seconded by Mr. Hepler, to adjourn the meeting. Motion passed. Meeting ended at 8:03 pm.
