9:02:26 AM Shawn Ferguson, Fulton County Economic Development Director - Department Update and Dr. Betty Young and Lana Evans - Discuss Grant
 
Dr. Young opened the discussion this morning. She expressed excitement over the Metamora satellite endeavor. NWOhio 5 is another area she feels is a great thing for Northwest Ohio as well as Northwest State Community College. A planning grant for $5000 has been obtained from the Ohio College Access Network to establish OCAN programs in our area. Lana Evans provided information on this grant and programs and explained those to the Commissioners. Fulton County will be the model for the other counties in the Northwest State Community College. An established OCAN committee will work closely with the P16 Council already established by Fulton County.

Shawn Ferguson commenced with his update and asked Dr. Young and Ms. Evans to stay if they could as he would be elaborating on the P16 Council. He said there has been positive response from Knowledge Works. Blade and Expositor articles have been a big part of that. The next meeting will be June 16 or 19 from 11:00 to 3:00. The speaker will be Dr. O'Neill from Stark County.

Shawn's administrative report continued with USDA Broadband Financing - Distance Learning and Telemedicine; Northwest State Community College (NWO5) - Broadband Seminar held May 4th; CIC Annual Meeting May 23 - Steve Weathers/Dr. Young; Marketing/Regional - Toledo Business Journal and 9 month run.

He also updated the Commissioners on completed projects under the Revolving Loan Fund. From there he reported on Industial updates and Workforce Development progress.

 
9:44:37 AM Sara Osterhout and Brent Ton, Hospice of Williams & Fulton Counties - Discuss Transportation Need
 
Correction: Brent Tow

Mr. Tow opened the discussion by introducing himself and the beginning of the business he represents and the services they now provide. Adult daycare is what Mr. Tow really wanted to discuss with the Commissioners today. There is a nurse on staff at the facility, which is different from the Hands of Grace. Medicare may start to pay for services at the daycare. Transportation is the biggest need at this time and they would to approach the Senior Center about contracting with them for transportation assistance. They are more than willing to reimburse for the service.

Staffing issues would have to be addressed. There is also a van out at Workforce Development. Mr. Hall is confident something can be worked out. Commissioner Graf suggested they follow up with conversations involving Mr. Hall and Ms. Griggs.
 
10:07:18 AM Lisa Karcher, Maumee Valley Planning - Review CHIS




Resolution 2006-320
Ms. Karcher said that the last CHIS strategy was accepted in 2004. The strategy has been revised somewhat and she explained what those changes will be as compared to the 2004 CHIS. Ms. Karcher has a resolution for approval by the Commissioners possibly at their next meeting to approve the update.

Commissioner Barnaby made motion to approve the update
Seconded by Commissioner Graf. Motion carried unanimously.
10:19:06 AM Recess for break  
10:21:45 AM Discuss H.E.A.T. Energy Assistance Program
 
Mr. Hall presented a packet to the Commissioners. He went back and re-did the math on the original proposal and took a look at what would work and what wouldn't work. Some buildings were taken out and some alternatives as well. He indicated that the Board of Ed was one of those buildings but definately some areas are needed there to be included. Financing was also looked at. Retrofits should cover the debt service in savings. A decision in what activities are desired needs to be arrived at to facilitate putting a package together by H.E.A.T. Asbestos also is an issue to consider at the Board of Ed - there will be added expense. Mr. Hall pointed out that the Board does not have to do the Board of Ed if they so choose. He also commented that he scrapped the Recycling building for any improvements.

Bid specs could be prepared and certain items could be non-performed. Mr. Hall will move ahead as he has outlined.
