Kim Bowles & Curt
Jones - Soil and Water Conservation District, Departmental
Update |
Kim Bowles and Curt
Jones were present to update the Board on activities since
coming before the Board in May. Ms. Bowles presented the Board
with a written report outlining said activities and an
illustration on the Oak Savanna Project. Mr. Jones went through
the report and stated that on May 19, 2008 they submitted five
AEPP applications. Ms. Bowles stated that 3 of them are new.
On May 15, 2008 the fish sale resulted in 15,020 fish being
distributed to 48 landowners. The Fulton County landowners
holding EQIP contracts were paid a total of $85,000 for FY2007,
and Conservation Security Program contract holders in Fulton
County were paid out in the amount of $219,000. There were 44
of 78 structures installed and 13 of 14 waterways installed.
The District planted their first Oak Savanna practice along
County Road J. They also assisted with Conservation Camp, with
44 Fulton County students attending. The District is sponsoring
a conservation air tour with the Fulton County Airport on August
2, 2008 from 8-5. Mr. Jones stressed that, based on FY2007
figures, the SWCD office generates $9.05 to every $1.00 that the
Commissioners give them.
Ms. Bowles stated
that they turned in their budget for 2009 and that they left it
$35,000 short. She stated that with the Oak Savanna program
they feel they can still make enough to balance the budget.
Discussion was held
on the potential of maps and illustrations that would show water
flow and the tremendous value that it could bring to the
county.
Mr. Jones presented
the possibility of hiring someone to help in the field so Ms.
Bowles could focus on the numbers and make better use of her
talents in that area. She is also trained in grant writing and
may be able to assist in the ditch process.
Commissioner Short
thanked them both and expressed appreciation for the creative
ways and efforts of the District to generate dollars. |

Debbie Nelson was
present to address the Board. She stated that there are
currently 240 members of the Chamber and thanked the
Commissioners for being members. She stated that the Chamber is
currently focusing on marketing efforts to bring people to town
and that they are working on a coupon book that will be
distributed to hotels and at the fairgrounds that will give the
bearers discounts at participating businesses. She said it is
important to promote that people can get what they need right in
Wauseon, especially in times when the gas prices are so high.
She stated that the Chamber is a source for much information and
have several resource guides available.
She gave emphasis to
the Board to contact her if there was anything that the Chamber
could do for them. The Board thanked her for coming in and for
everything the Chamber does to promote local businesses.
