Summary

Midway Extension District requested reduced rent for office space; a motion to charge $300 failed, a 15-minute executive session followed, and the commission later approved $500/month in a 3–2 vote.

Officials from the Midway Extension District asked the commission to lower monthly rent for proposed office space to $250 or $300 and to extend the lease to three or five years. Vice Chair Melinda Olson and interim director Craig Dinkel appeared to present the request and asked for an answer before their next board meeting.

Commissioner Steve Reinhardt moved to charge $300 per month but the motion failed after a majority voted against it. The commission then entered a 15-minute attorney-client executive session for contract negotiations with Administrator Stephanie Grisham and County Attorney Dan Krug in attendance. When open session resumed, Commissioner Alan Kuntzsch moved to set rent at $500 per month; Duke Strobel seconded and the motion passed 3–2 (yes: Jason Krug, Duke Strobel, Alan Kuntzsch; no: Steve Reinhardt, Dean Haselhorst).
