Creating a vision/purpose statement:
Mrs. Schumacher asked the committee to brainstorm. Mrs. Schumacher asked the committee “What do you want Logan County to look like in 10 years?” The committee suggested several ideas: professional population, decent-paying jobs for residents, forward-thinking, center for higher education, good quality of life, tourist destination including sports and events tourism, and partner with other communities. The committee brought up the idea of special events at the airport such as remote control cars and paragliders. Mr. Hepler asked Mr. Anderson to create a committee called sports and special events. Mr. Hepler will make a motion to create this subcommittee on Thursday. The committee will follow up on this next month. The committee would like to make remote control cars and paragliders an event in 2016.

Insurance Admin:
The committee would like to train Mrs. Freese as a backup on insurance.

Elected Officials Bonds:
Mr. Anderson reported the elected officials did not feel CIRMA’s certificate of insurance was good enough. Each elected official went out and purchased their own bond as well.
