Afternoon Session 1 p.m.: BOCC and non county entity (non -profit corporation) the Custer County Economic Development Corp. (CCEDC) or (EDC)
The meeting began with Charles Bogle handing out an organizational chart showing the relationship that the EDC proposes with the BOCC as the tower project proceeds. It shows the EDC directly under the BOCC, the same level as Finance, IT, Road & Bridge, and Legal. The general contractor for the project would answer to the CCEDC in this scenario. For operating as what they called the project manager, the CCEDC would get $50K per year, with an expected two-year timeline. This money would be taken from the $2M grant money.

Water Wars: Nobody on the BOCC
Knew of Custer Aug Plan?
CC Has Two Residents on Upper Ark Board and a Commish Rep

by Jackie Bubis
On March 14, 2019, all three Custer County Commissioners attended the Upper Arkansas Water Conservation District (UAWCD) Board meeting.
Commissioner Tom Flower read a letter asking the Upper Arkansas Water Conservation District Board to remove Custer County from the proposed water augmentation plan. His reason was that Custer County was blindsided by the application and that, during public meetings both board member Tim Canterbury and Chairman Senderhauf expressed that, if Custer County wanted out of the plan, they would do that.

All three Commissioners listed meetings they had attended.
Commissioner Canda reported on airport grants, the strategic plan, and had some ideas about a possible volunteer water board.
Chairman Flower reported that the Board will put together a letter to go with the final draft of the strategic plan. He also discussed the $345 that was not paid on the CenturyLink bill for damages that occurred last fall. He will have Gary Hyde check again to make sure that there was no earlier invoice than the one the County paid. The $345 appeared to be a service charge from a collection agency and the Board felt it was not responsible for paying it. Continue reading Custer County Commish March 5 & 6 →

A County Wide Nuisance Law? Really!

BOCC: A County Wide Nuisance Law? Really!
Who/What Is Really the Nuisance Here?
The People or The Government?

 

An open letter;

To Commissioners Tom Flower, Bill Canda:
The county “nuisance” law recently proposed by the BOCC WILL start the slippery slope towards “Boulderizing” Custer County. This is dangerous ground.
I, and many, many others have seen it before.
It starts with litter, then it’s noise, then it’s noise from guns, then it’s Conex containers, then its dogs, then it’s your porch light, then it’s your cow manure, then it’s the paint on your house or barn, then it’s the old jeep in your yard, then its a broken down tractor, then its YOUR XXXX behavior annoying a California transplant. The bottom line is: THEN THEY COME FOR YOU. Continue reading A County Wide Nuisance Law? Really! →
