This was a 5 hour and 43 minute meeting, so no I have not reviewed it all. Of note (to me) was that the phone conference call with Dr. Wright of OSU Extension was a whole lot more cordial on part of the Preble County Commissioners than last week. Dr. Wright spoke with Duane Grimme and informed the Commissioners that he thinks the organizational structure involving the Preble County Fair is not along the lines that it should be. He did not think there was time to straighten it out this year but it should be done for 2011. Also mentioned was that Pat Holmes was doing the best she could with the resources available.
Habitat for Humanity will not build a house in the county this year but currently plans to build two in 2011. There was also discussion of whether that will happen and how to aid a woman with two deaf children who though she was getting a house this year was also covered.
The Building Inspection issue, both commercial and residential was a topic that took much time. Rick Van Winkle of New Paris was to offer his view. Both NIC and Miami County were in to offer how they would do it. It appears that NIC is the way the commissioners are leaning.
The pay scale range for the proposed economic development director was given at $41,220 – $64,193. Bob Stonecash mention his immediate duties would be setting up websites, making visits to villages and organizations as well as taking Goose Creek and making it go.
