{20020484 8 DISCUSSION AND FURTHER ACTION ON RESOLUTION WITH RESPECT TO A JOINT RECREATIONAL PROJECT RELATING TO AN OPERATING TRAIN AT STUHR MUSEUM - County Attorney Jerry Janulewicz stated that he was contacted by Stuhr Museum concerning the action the county board took on August 13th meeting. The museum also contacted the city for additional dollars and if the city does not approve the funding request they may want to wait with the ballot issue. The City Council meets tonight and the museum board will meet on Wednesday. Janulewicz stated that the county would not be able to advertise for a special meeting so he suggested that the board recess this meeting and reconvene on Friday to address this matter. The museum may want to have the county rescind the action to place this matter on the ballot. Executive Director Susan Gallagher was present and she stated that the Museum wants to make sure that all of the pieces are in place. She stated that they are beginners on the proposed bond issue and they know they have a deadline. They have other proposals to consider. They want to be responsible and make sure that this project is viable. Once the city council meets the foundation board will meet on Thursday to make a final decision. She is requesting that the County Board recess until Friday morning at 9:00 a.m. to address this matter again. 12 APPROVE RESOLUTION FOR TAX ASKING - County Clerk Marla Conley read the following resolutions into the record for the tax asking: Resolution # 02-0049 Wood River Fire District #2 Resolution #02-0050 for Cairo Rural Fire District #5 Resolution #02-0051 for Grand Island Rural Fire District #3 Resolution #02-0052 for Doniphan Fire District #6 Resolution #02-0053 for Shelton Fire District #3 Resolution #02-0054 for the Hall County Agricultural Society Resolution #02-0055 for the Hall County Airport Authority Arnold made a motion and Eriksen seconded to approve the resolutions for the tax asking.
