Loading...
Summary
Commissioners heard short status updates: six applications are in for the housing self-help program, geotechnical tests at the clinic site were completed and a Quonset hut moved to surplus, and airport land-swap work tied to a fencing project is nearing wrap-up.
At the Oct. 15 meeting the commission received several brief operational updates across housing, clinic and airport agenda items.
Housing: A staff or program representative reported there are six applications for the county’s self-help workforce housing program; one applicant (number four) may not qualify and staff said applicant number five may move into that slot. The program aims to start before next year’s release and to add additional units as funding and applicants allow.
Clinic and surplus property: Staff reported geotechnical test holes at the clinic site had been completed. A Quonset structure at the clinic site was moved and concrete removed; staff said the structure has been added to the county surplus list and that new photos would be taken for the record.
Airport: The panel heard that work on a land swap associated with a fencing project at the airport is progressing and 'close to wrapping up.'
Other: The meeting also touched on EMS/EMT/sheriff updates (no representatives present) and opened discussion on roads and code enforcement toward the meeting’s close.
Next steps: Staff will follow up on self-help applicant qualification, continue processing clinic-site surplus paperwork and report back on the MBA/right-of-way petition for the clinic when that is filed.
