UNOFFICIAL MINUTES FOR SPECIAL MEETING DECEMBER 6, 2011

The Special Meeting of the Kiowa County Commissioners was called to order at 9:00 a.m. by Chairman Richard Scott on December 6, 2011.  Those attending were:

Richard Scott, Commissioner

William E. Koehler, Commissioner

Donald Oswald, Commissioner

Debra C. Lening, County Clerk

Peggy Dunlap, Administrator

The purpose of the Special Meeting was to discuss the Kiowa County Public Health Agency, personnel issues, the 2012 Budget Hearing, and other County business.

 After some discussion regarding the Public Health Agency (PHA), Oswald made the motion, seconded by Koehler, to contract with the Prowers County Public Health Agency for 2012 to administer the Kiowa County Public Health Agency. All Commissioners voted affirmative. The hospital will be notified that they will need to operate the County Health Fair in the future. They will develop a Memorandum of Understanding for this purpose. The schools will need to sign new contracts for the school nurse since the terms will change with this new PHA contract. The Commissioners will invite Carrie Roberson to come in and discuss her position with them at the next Regular Meeting.

 The Budget Hearing was opened at 10:00 a.m. No public was in attendance for comment. After some discussion, Oswald made the motion, seconded by Koehler, to adopt the 2012 Budget as presented. All Commissioners voted affirmative.

 The Commissioners want to go on record to say they are in favor of developing an independent marketing study to see if keeping the railroad in Kiowa County open is feasible. They will look for funding to accomplish this study. They are opposed to using any County tax dollars to fund this study. They may adopt a resolution to this affect at the next Regular Meeting.

 The Commissioners called the Colorado Department of Human Services and spoke with Dee Martinez, Deputy Executive Director of Enterprise Partnerships regarding Department of Social Services funds that were to come from the State and didn’t.

 With no further business, Oswald made the motion, seconded by Scott to adjourn at 10:55 p.m.  All Commissioners voted affirmative.
