Riley County Commission Sept. 18, 2014
All commissioners present
Debbie Regester, Register of deeds gave the year to date revenue figures which are behind last year by $56,396. Total YTD 2013 was $217,884 and 2014 was $738,512.
Jennifer Wilson, county extension director, reported on Extension "Making a Difference"Projects. One project involved grocery shopping sessions with WIC recipients participating. Skills emphasized include reading food labels, comparing unit pricing, looking for healthy ingredients like whole grains, judging and buying fresh produce. Given $10, participants shopped for ingredients for a meal for four. This event resulted in increased confidence in participant's planning and shopping skills.
Brad Schoen, RCPD director, briefly told the Commission about some upcoming repairs that will be needed at the LEC.
Because of heavy game day traffic for the Auburn game, he said some police auxiliaries will be available for school crossings.
Brenda Nickel, Health Department director gave the monthly budget review.
Steven DeHart, County Sanitarian reported on the school inspections in districts 378, 383, and 384. These were completed and the problems fixed before school started. Most "fixes" required plumbing, simple electrical things and proper storage of cleaning supplies. One more involved problem involved bats at the ninth grade center. This seems to be a recurring problem, requiring professional remediation.
These reports were sent to the Districts' Superintendents.
Lyle Butler from the Chamber of Commerce reported that, because of the Auburn football game, flights in and out of MHK were sold out, hotels were sold out and between 40 and 80 private planes were expected at the airport.
Julie Merklin, observer
