The Board of Lincoln County Commissioners met at 1:15 p.m. on May 8, 2009, for a special meeting.  Those attending were Chairman Ted Lyons, Commissioners Steve Burgess and Gary Beedy, County Administrator Roxie Devers and Clerk to the Board Corinne M. Lengel.

 

Chairman Lyons called the meeting to order and led the Pledge of Allegiance, and Mr. Lyons commented that he’d been to an RC&D meeting the night before where they had discussed that one of their goals was to help entities obtain grant monies.  However, several entities do not know what kinds of funding are available, nor do they know how to complete the grant applications.  RC&D thought maybe there would be interest in sharing the cost of an actual grant writer to help out in that area and Mr. Lyons asked the others to think about it.

 

Mr. Burgess made a motion to adopt a resolution accepting the East Central Council of Local Governments’ Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS).  Mr. Beedy seconded the motion, which carried unanimously.

RESOLUTION #721                        It was moved by Commissioner Burgess and seconded by Commissioner Beedy to adopt the following resolution:

 

Whereas, the East Central Council of Local Governments (ECCOG) Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) is designed to bring together the public and private sectors in the creation of an economic roadmap to diversify and strengthen regional economies; and

 

Whereas, the CEDS analyzes the regional economy and serves as a guide for establishing regional goals and objectives, developing and implementing a regional plan of action, and identifying investment priorities and funding resources; and

 

Whereas, the CEDS integrates this region’s human and physical capital planning in the service of economic development, providing the flexibility to adapt to global economic conditions and to fully utilize the region’s unique advantages to maximize economic opportunity for its residents by attracting the private investment that creates jobs for the region’s residents; and

 

Whereas, the CEDS is the result of a continuing economic development planning process developed with broad-based and diverse public and private sector participation, and sets forth the goals and objectives necessary to solve the economic development problems of the region and clearly defines the metrics of success; and

 

Whereas, the CEDS provides a useful benchmark by which the regional economy can evaluate opportunities with other regions in the national economy;

 

NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of County Commissioners of Lincoln County hereby accepts and supports the 2009 ECCOG Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy—CEDS.

Mr. Lyons also said that he’d called Rob Raines and told him to go ahead and file an adverse possession and prescriptive easement claim, if he was so inclined.  He also informed Mr. Raines that the Board had sent the letter to T-Cross Ranches.

 

Ms. Devers had a revised list of janitorial duties for the Board to review, as she had compiled all the requests from the departments into one list.

 

Mr. Burgess said that he’d spoken with Hugo Town Manager Gary Ensign who told him that if the county wanted to add an exit driveway from the front of the courthouse, the town would probably put in the curb and gutter and pave the street.  It will be discussed in detail later on.

 

With no further business to come before the Board, the meeting was adjourned until 9:00 a.m. on May 19, 2009.
