The Wayne County Board met last (Thursday) night in the upstairs courtroom of the Wayne County Courthouse with 11 members present.  A District 5 vacancy was filled by the appointment of TJ Vaughan who was administered his oath of office and seated bringing the total to 12 members in attendance.

 

David Shipley of MidwestTelecom addressed the board on the telephone system at the courthouse and jail complex.  Claire Vaughan from RJ Marketing addressed the board on the still incomplete County website.

 

The board adopted an amendment to the county liquor ordinance regarding the assessment of late fees.  The board voted to dispose of executive sessions minutes older than 6 months.

 

County Board member Eddie Barbre addressed the board on the recent courthouse shutdown because of issues with the heating system.  County Board member Gene Kollak addressed the board and policy committee in particular, and urged them to come up with a policy regarding conflict of interest voting of board members whose family businesses have or are receiving funding from county sources and yet denied those same funds to other entities.  The next meeting of the Wayne County Board will be Thursday, February 13th at 7pm.
