The Smith Street rental property that was owned by the late Richard Supinger is ready for demolition as soon as there is a break in the weather. Auten reported that he was looking into a housing study grant, which would open the county up to more housing grant opportunities. He said that he was looking into another grant opportunity that would involve helping people renovate and weatherproof existing homes; this is in addition to the USDA program already in place.
Auten also reported that he was doing groundwork for the upcoming golf tournament, which will be held on June 23rd this year. There will be a siren test conducted Wednesday morning, June 5th.
The commission voted to spend $1,500 to replace furnace valves. The county is $94,000 ahead in revenues compared to last year, and $16,000 behind in the road & bridge fund. Officials cited higher tax revenues (including some large back tax payments that were paid off) and no need to repair the elevator.
Bill Honore, representative of Bloom Medicinals, called the meeting to inquire about putting a medical marijuana dispensary in the county and zoning regulations. While Grant City has zoning regulations, the county does not. Commissioners said they were still awaiting direction from the state before doing anything. Last November, Missouri voters passed a Medical Marijuana ordinance, and companies are lining up in an effort to get licenses to operate in the state.
Road & Bridge Foreman Jim Fletchall reported that one pump in the excavator was hotter than the other one. Duane James visited the Courthouse Friday to discuss the way gravel was being put on his road as well as ditch issues. Fletchall reported that a few small tubes had been washed out from last week’s storms. Presiding Commissioner Jubal Summers said the county was lucky, as Harrison County was hit much worse. The county got a waiver from the state regarding storm cleanup. A tube on Quarter Lane washed out and was in need of replacement.
