The 41h of July fireworks show went very well. The community really seemed to appreciate it and it could be seen all over the valley. We received great response through social media on the show. Kady feels we definitley accomplished our goal of giving something positive back to our community in the midst of the last few months in the pandemic. The support form the BOCC is greatly appreciated. 4. Special Projects: Per Kady, the Rotary Paver Project is progressing. They plan to start installing them around August 3, 2020 and should take about one week to complete. There are 220 pavers the Rotary plans to sell to help fund the project, along with grants. Forms to order pavers can be received from the Noon Rotary club or one of its members. The stock pens by the Gold Buckle will be removed next week. A professional has been contracted to install the new panels the following week. Kady will also meet with the panel installers to discuss possible future projets in the needed areas while they are at the Event Center. The Buckaroo flashings also appear to be leaking, it was noticed after the big rain storms last week. Kady is working with Patti as well as Dan Morgan and Kelly Schademan from the Rodeo Board on repairs. The leaks will need to be addressed prior to the spray foam insulation being installed. Commissioner Wright asked that Kady please verify there are stipulations in contracts for inspections, so we can avoid issues like these in the future. 5. BOCC COVID Planning/Updates: Discussion of the KVEC Health and Safety Plan draft. Commissioner Wright asked if the attorneys had a chance to look at the plan. Per Kady, they had done an initial review but would be happy to look at it in further depth with them. Commissioner Wright expressed concerns about the section regarding screening protocol. Kady will work with Stephanie to be sure all information is correct. Chairman Wachsmith stated the Department of Commerce has additional support the County could apply for through a community development block grant program. The County would work together with all the other municipalities toward a consortium incentive. County wide it would be just shy of $300,000. It could be used for utility or rent or mortgage payments but also for local help emergency response or temporary housing facilities to address COVID-19 impacts and grant administration. To move forward, a public meeting would need to be set. 6. OTHER BUSINESS: Per Kady, the blood drive in June went really well. The county employees turned out and exceeded the donation goals. Another one will be held October 12th. Meeting adjourned at 10:31 am 2020-07-08 MINUTES 2
