The Board of
General Session –
The Commissioners were presented with various resolutions and documents for
approval. The Commissioners reviewed
agenda items, discussed upcoming meetings, reviewed, and updated the calendar
of events.
Bob Arend, Arend Enterprises came in to talk with the Board about the existing
telephone system at the Defiance County Courthouse.
There has been discussion in the past regarding intermittent problems
with the current system such as dropped calls and severe noise on the
line. Bob indicated we do have a
refurbished board for the telephone system, but there is no guarantee it would
work. Parts for the existing telephone
system are difficult to find because the system is outdated.
The Commissioners agreed to work with the current telephone system
until the end of the year at which time they will consider an update.
Defiance County Humane Officer,
Randy also reported the number of miles driven during the month of
August was 3,076 and the pounds of euthanized animals taken to the landfill
were 2,320.
Dr. Stephen Wright, Director, Ohio State Extension Office, West Regional
Operations came in to discuss various issues with the Board. Dr. Wright explained that the enrollment into
the 4-H Club is significantly higher than is past years.
Dr. Wright also discussed the organizational chart and explained the
Senior Fair Board is legally responsible to set and uphold the policies
within. Senior Fair Board members
define the responsibilities of the Junior Fair Board and decide who will be on
the Advisory Committees.
Dr. Wright also explained the Senior Fair Board does not govern the
Advisory Committees for the 4-H Club; the extension office is accountable for
the 4-H Advisory Committees.
