Price County committee approves $5,000 payment plan for NWCEP loan
Summary
The Executive Committee voted Jan. 15 to set a small, manageable payment plan for a $5,000 county loan to the Northwest Wisconsin Concentrated Employment Program, after a presentation from NWCEP’s executive director and discussion of alternatives including forgiveness or partnership.
The Price County Executive Committee on Jan. 15 approved setting up a payment plan for a $5,000 county loan to the Northwest Wisconsin Concentrated Employment Program, Inc. (NWCEP), following a presentation from NWCEP leadership.
Skylar Dural‑Eyder, executive director of NWCEP, told the committee that the agency—established as a government program in the 1960s—has provided employment and training services in Price County for five decades and has faced recent cuts in state and federal funding. Dural‑Eyder acknowledged the $5,000 loan and said NWCEP was prepared to repay it if required, but respectfully requested loan relief from the Price County Board given current funding pressures.
Committee members discussed options including full loan forgiveness, a payment plan, or formalizing a community partner relationship between NWCEP and the county. A motion by Supervisor Jeff Hallstrand, seconded by Supervisor Alan Barkstrom, directed staff to set up a small and manageable payment plan for NWCEP and to amend Resolution 18‑24 (Provision of Short‑term Financial Assistance to NWCEP). The motion carried.
The committee did not specify further procedural steps in the minutes beyond approving the payment plan and the resolution amendment. The presentation and motion were recorded in the Jan. 15 meeting minutes.
