Dave on Issue 2
Kim – on grant discussed last week as a possible funding source for OSU Extension, it is a reimbursement grant. Grant is competitive bid and would require $12,000 – $15,000 up front before money would start coming in. OSU would accept the money ($63,000) for matching funds (normally they won't do this). Preble under pressure to get moving on grant as they are late. May require RFP, clearly state "competitive procedure".

Steve Simmons on meeting with Chamber guy doing research last week. Does not think county needs an administrator right of way, be a negative PR. Said, he would not get involved with economic development until he felt there were three commissioners that were for instead of just giving it lip service?
