Scant Commission Meeting
May 22 2023
County
Commission's May 22nd public meeting lasted less than 30
minutes. Yelp, all the Clayberry problems were solved in just
30 minutes.
There was a time when all county governments
carried state issued insurance policies known as BRIM
coverage. 18 or so years ago a group of Commissioners got
together and formed their own insurance "pool". Clayberry
entered into that pool under the guidance of Commissioner
Peter Triplett back then.
For this meeting, after a presentation by the Counties
Risk Pool Rep. Vivian Parsons, the CCC voted to continue the
coverage for another year.
The revolving door at the 911 Dispatch Center continued
with the hiring of two more dispatchers, Grant Krajeski and
Kimberly McDonald at $14 / hour.
With a beaming smile, David Schoolcraft glowed when the
CCC approved a $1.45 million grant to finish the long empty,
Judicial Annex center beside the Courthouse. Note: That's the
building, along with the Courthouse itself, that flooded
during the 2016 Great Wash Out flood.
The most
important business item on the May 22nd Commission meeting
agenda was the hiring of a County Clerk. That elected position
came open when long time Clerk Connie Workman resigned her
position 6 weeks ago. The vote to hire Sheila Stone was
unanimous vote. From CCC Prez Dave Schoolcraft: You will do a
great job...Not a better person for it...
That 's about it for May 22nd Clay County Commission.
With so little public business done in public, we
thought we would add some of the pictures that appeared on our
home page from the last few weeks.
The just below image came from a reader and
highlights the dirty deeds done dirt cheap here in the Land of
Little.
Commissioner Dave Schoolcraft is the responsible
party for maintaining the County's only public picnic area,
Spread Park. Notice the near pristine condition of the place
just a couple days before Mother's Day weekend.
