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.

County Board Chairman asking the County Board to write a letter
