The Engineer’s office will be moving to that facility and Bob discussed various options when running fiber optics to link the Engineering offices computers to the County’s computers. Bob requested and received the Commissioners approval to begin. Bob has some funds set aside in his budget for the project.
The fund, using $100,000 in seed money, will be set up for use on new construction only. During the construction of the project, payments to the contractor will be made from the Rotary Fund. Once the project is complete, payments and assessments from landowners will be deposited in the Rotary Fund to replenish it for other projects. Input will also be requested from the Soil and Water Board before the fund is implemented.
