Auglaize County commissioners agree to up to $5,000 for Mission Discovery, discuss CDBG pre-application and capital projects
Summary
The Auglaize County Board of Commissioners on March 5 agreed to support Mission Discovery with up to $5,000, heard a quarterly update from the OSU Extension Office and discussed preparing a CDBG pre-application and capital budget requests for dredging and East Bank Road.
The Auglaize County Board of Commissioners on March 5 authorized up to $5,000 in county support for Mission Discovery and heard a series of administrative updates from County Administrator Erica L. Preston.
At a 9:57 a.m. presentation, Administrator Preston listed several items for the board’s consideration, including a public-records update, a funding request for Mission Discovery and work to assemble a pre-application for a potential Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) project. She told the board that details are being gathered to complete the CDBG pre-application; the minutes do not specify a proposed project location or amount.
Preston also reported that a quote from Armor had been received for backflow work; she said the project will be discussed at the next Maintenance Meeting. The board rejected a county employee’s request to attend out-of-state training “for this year,” according to the minutes. Preston outlined capital budget applications the county plans to submit for dredging and a project on East Bank Road, but the minutes do not include funding totals or schedules.
Jacob Winters and Elizabeth Miller of the Auglaize County OSU Extension Office attended a quarterly update with the board; the minutes record the meeting but do not summarize the update’s content. Preston also raised the question of public access to bricks from the “Acres” site and said she will contact the contractor for additional information.
The board agreed to provide financial support for Mission Discovery in an amount not to exceed $5,000. The minutes record no debate or vote tally beyond that approval.
Next steps recorded in the minutes include a future Maintenance Meeting to review the backflow quote, continued work on the CDBG pre-application and Administrator Preston contacting the contractor about the Acres site bricks. The Board attended the Auglaize County State of the Arts & Culture Luncheon later that day.
