Commissioners discuss fairgrounds winter storage; rabbit cages take arena space
Summary
County staff and commissioners debated how to accommodate RV and camper winter storage while rabbit cages occupy arena space; they asked staff to measure available buildings and consider using FFA help to move cages.
Commissioners and staff spent a portion of the meeting discussing space and logistics at the Jennings County fairgrounds as winter storage season begins.
Unidentified Speaker (S3) said campers, RVs and boats typically move in around this time each year and reported that rabbit cages currently stored in the arena need to be relocated to a lockable space. Rebecca was cited as raising the issue. Commissioners and staff reviewed possible alternative storage locations across multiple commercial buildings, the showcase building and barns; speakers noted existing items such as bleachers and other stored materials reduce usable space in some buildings.
No formal motion was recorded. Commissioners asked staff to obtain exact counts and sizes of campers needing storage, measure available space at the fairgrounds, and return with a plan; one commissioner suggested asking FFA students to help move equipment if needed.
Speakers also noted high utility costs at the fairgrounds and emphasized cooperation across departments to manage space while the new building project proceeds.
