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. Establishing Priorities: Tied in with item number 2.
Processes: Tied in with item number 2.
College Application Concept:
Mrs. Schumacher wants to put this item on hold for the time.
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. Mr. Bateman reported Steve
Nichols and Sally Turner took out an extra bond because they needed
to be certified before they took office. Mrs. Turner and Mr. Nichols
did not feel CIRMA covered enough.
Others:
Mr. Bateman wants to change the policy to state if a member cannot
be present at a board meeting they can call in and cast their vote.
Mr. Bateman wants to e-mail a vote in but the
Committee informed him he cannot email a vote in. Mrs. Schumacher
has information at home regarding phone voting. The committee will
discuss this item next month.
A motion was made by Mr. Anderson, seconded by Mr. Hepler, to
adjourn the meeting. Motion passed. Meeting ended at 8:10 pm.
