BOARD MEMBERS REPORTS - Hartman - no report Humiston - no report Eriksen - He attended a couple of meetings at the Central District Health Department but the media reported on most of the information. Rye - No report. Lancaster welcomed him to the county board. Arnold - He reported he attended a corrections steering committee meeting. The fire inspection was completed at the jail and there were no major concerns. In order to use the one area of the jail it will be necessary to install the ventilation system, but the money is already budgeted for that project. He also reported that the juvenile committee needs to work on the service plan. The county received grant money for this project and the committee discussed requesting assistance from professors from UNK. They had assisted with the plan in Buffalo County and have come highly recommended. The committee would like to use them to complete the plan, but they may need additional dollars to pay for it. The committee will meet and come back with a recommendation. This project needs to be completed by June 30, 2003. Arnold stated that they may only need an additional $2,500.00. Lancaster - She distributed the committee lists and ask that the board members give her their requests by the end of the week so the new list can be completed by the next meeting. She stated that she serves on the College Park Board and the Midland Area Agency on Aging Board and there is sometimes a conflict. She suggested that there be a third person on the Midland Area Agency on Aging board so she could attend the quarterly College Park meetings. She questioned if the human relations committee and the vending committee could be appointed as needed and also the excellence in education committee has not been active so it could be deleted. She also mentioned that the public works committee could be eliminated because there is now an elected official but with the transition they will leave this committee in tact. She also requested the boards input on the keno dollars that have been spent on roads and if these dollars could be used for economic development. Discussion was held. The Stuhr search committee, human relations committee and vending committee will be deleted. Lancaster also congratulated Pam Price on her selection as Woman of the Year and recognized her efforts to support Stuhr Museum. She also recognized John Brownell on his selection as "Man of the Year" and his community involvement and support. 7
