Stark County Board met Oct. 29.
Here is the minutes provided by the board:
The Stark County Board met in the Courthouse for a Finance Committee Meeting at 6 pm. Chairman Curry called the meeting to order. Roll call showed Howes, Newton, Eberle, Loane, Shipp (entered at 6:03 pm) and Chairman Curry were present. Absent were Nowlan and Bush.
Mrs. Eberle made a motion to approve the agenda with a second from Mr. Howes with all present voting aye, motion carried.
The meeting opened with a presentation from Jason Myers of Johnson Controls on the potential use of solar panels at the county highway facilities. Mr. Myers presented several options for the board to consider, including using grant monies or other funding options to help offset the costs. The board had several questions for Mr. Myers, that he will investigate and report back at a future meeting.
The other item on the agenda was to go over the preliminary budget. At this time there is a small difference between revenue and disbursements that will need to be looked at further. However, the budget was largely incomplete and will need to be finalized with more detail by the auditor before the board can proceed any further.
At 7:21 pm a motion was made by Mrs. Eberle and seconded by Mrs. Shipp to adjourn the meeting with all present voting aye, meeting adjourned.
