Summary

Commissioners directed the Building Operations Manager to mark public parking in the Courthouse East lot and reported the String Lakes project is stalled pending larger local matching funds for potential grants identified by SWCD staff.

Chair Thomas D. Appel revisited prior guidance to reserve the Courthouse East parking lot for public parking while keeping five spaces for county vehicles. After discussion the board asked the Building Operations Manager to designate public parking spaces and inform courthouse employees they may use the remaining spaces.

Appel also updated the board on the String Lakes project, saying he received an email from SWCD Technician Becky Buchholz that identified four possible grants but which would require larger local matching funds; Appel said the project is at a standstill at this time pending funding decisions.
