Tuesday May 25, 2010 Meeting...

Friends,

Here is your update for our County Board Meeting this Tuesday May 25, 2010 at 9am.

- REVOLVING LOANS: The Door County Economic Development Corporation (DCEDC) and the County run a revolving loan program. The money and interest paid back to us are used to make new loans to businesses that create jobs in Door County. This month, “Captain Commodes Inc.” has applied for a loan, which has been carefully vetted by the DCEDC and the Revolving Loan Committee.
- INTERVIEW POLICY: The County is looking to modify its interview policy to include the chairmen of the relevant oversight committee in the interviewing process. For example, the chairman of the Social Services committee would now sit in on the interviews of new Social workers.
- SALERIES OF ELECTED OFFICIALS: This item affects the salaries of the Door County Sheriff, Register of Deeds, County Clerk, Clerk of Courts, and Treasurer. The County Clerk, Register of Deeds and Treasurer will increase their annual incomes from $54,900 to 59,400 in 2012. The Clerk of Courts will increase from 55,900 to $64,100 in 2014 and the Sheriff will increase from $75,100 to $84,500 in 2014. What do you think?
- SENIOR RESOURCE CENTER DONATION: A gift of $5,000 has been given to create a publication for caregivers that will offer support, resource information, and community education.
- IMMUNIZATION GRANT: The Public Health Department has received $6,060 to supplement our immunization program. These funds are part of ARRA (American Recovery and Reinvestment Act).
- CARRY FORWARDS: Project funds or grants that are ongoing are “carried forward” to the next fiscal year. Such is the case with $333,000 for a number of projects, grants and contingencies including cleaning up the pollution from the old highway shop, soil and water conservation, costs of unplanned audits and so on.

Please add your thoughts and questions. You can also see the full agenda and loads of other information at co.door.wi.us.

Yours truly,

Ben Meyer
