NEW BUSINESS – None
OLD BUSINESS –
Update on Meetings
Chairman Tobias said the meeting in Kingston would be scheduled for
either June or July of this year. Their
council meetings are on the first Monday of the month so we would need to
arrange for another day. Ms.
LaVigne said that our committee members should still go to their council meeting
just to show support. The other
problem that we have is that the Public Services Committee meets on the first
Monday of every month and two of our members are on that committee, said
Chairman Tobias. Ms. Supple, County
Coordinator, said that she would check with Chairman Leifheit of the Public
Services Committee and ask her if their meetings in June or July could be
rescheduled. Chairman Tobias
said that she would call the county board office and let them know what the time
is of the city council meeting for Kingston.
OLD BUSINESS –
Selection of County Government Week Essay Contest Winner
Ms.
Sanderson, DeKalb County Webmaster, said that there were 102 entries and that
she had read them all and narrowed them down to 10 finalists. Those ten finalists were mailed to the committee so that they
could read them prior to the meeting and then be prepared to pick a winner from
the finalists entries tonight. These
ten finalists were picked because of their ideas being the best out of the
group. It was agreed that the final
winning essay should be placed on the Website and published in the MidWeek and
the Chronicle. In the press release
they would also like other ideas that were suggested from the other nine
finalists included. After further
discussion it was agreed that Ms. Kaylie Davison was chosen as the winner of the
essay contest. She will be notified
that evening from Ms. Sanderson and invited to attend the County Board Meeting
on Wednesday to receive her award and her $100.00 winner’s prize.

Follow-up on Legislative Agenda
Chairman Tobias said that she is following through with
Senator Burzynski and Representative Wirsing about the Legislative Agenda.
She said that the committee needs to think about when they want to
present the legislative calendar, that is, when is the best time to present it.
Chairman Tobias said that she would check with Mr. Bockman about this.
ADJOURNMENT
Moved
by Mr. Dlabal, seconded by Ms. LaVigne, and it was carried unanimously to
