Of interest at this meeting are file 3 & 5 regarding the Fairground improvement grant and plans for it. While it is possible I missed something it seemed pretty clear to me that the Commission requested a final or close to final list of what the planned projects. Crunch time is coming in that the commission office needs to get moving and they can’t start until they have the final plan to submit to the state. The plan the commission received is one that was completely different than those understood by Commissioner Robertson & Creech from a recent meeting. The plan received was one initially written down last summer. There has been some question raised of if the planned purchase of 200 – 300 sheep pens qualifies as a capital improvement. There is no question they are needed but the purchase may not fall under the grant hence the need to finalize the plan. There is a planned meeting for next week and hopefully it all gets worked out. Questions were also raised over an estimated $40,000 spent on electricians for the two week period before and during the Fair.
