DECEMBER 27, 2005 THE 25TH DAY
OF THE OCTOBER ADJOURN TERM
The County Commission met in Associate II Circuit Courtroom at 9:07 a.m.
pursuant to adjourn with Chuck Pennel, Presiding, Ron Herschend, Western District, and
Danny Strahan, Eastern District present. The following proceedings were had and made a
matter of record.
The prayer was led by Chuck Pennel followed by the pledge.
CLEARWATER DRIVE
Presiding Commissioner Pennel stated that he spoke to Greg Oller from the Corp
of Engineers regarding Taney County maintaining Clearwater Drive. Pennel reported
that Oller said this situation is different since the property owners have a permitted dock
and that he has no problem with the county continuing to maintain Clearwater Drive.
Commissioner Pennel made a motion to take in Clearwater Drive for county
maintenance down to the turnaround on Corp property. Commissioner Strahan seconded
the motion.
Commissioner Herschend suggested establishing a guideline as to how far on
Corp property the county is willing to service. Commissioner Strahan expressed a
concern about setting limits on the Corp. Commissioner Herschend clarified that he is not
suggesting limits just guidelines.
Commissioner Herschend then expressed that there might be repercussions of
maintaining a road that the county does not have easements for. Bob Paulson, County
Counselor explained that citizens could sue the county for maintaining a non-county
road. Commissioner Herschend suggested getting an easement for the cul-de-sac just to
be safe. Commissioner Pennel explained that he does not have the same concerns as
Commissioner Herschend. A general discussion ensued.
The motion passed by vote: Pennel (yes), Herschend (no), Strahan (yes).
TITLE III
DONNA NEELEY
Donna Neeley, County Clerk stated that she sent out the letters that the
Commission requested her to send asking for invoices from entities applying for Title III
Monies. Neeley further stated that she only received invoices from one entity, Protem
Fire Protection District and asked if she should go ahead and publish it in the paper?
Presiding Commissioner Pennel asked whom the other applications were from?
Neeley stated that Cedar Creek Fire Protection District applied and has been publicized,
as they have not received any Title III funds previously to report on.
Commissioner Strahan made a motion to deny any applications that came from
political subdivision that had previously received Title III funding but had not provided
receipts or reports on their progress. Strahan added that the entities needed to be
responsible for getting everything in on time. Commissioner Herschend seconded the
motion. The motion passed by vote: Pennel (yes), Herschend (yes), Strahan (yes).
Donna Neeley explained that Mark Twain School’s Title III project has met all
requirements of the Commission and that the Commission can make a decision upon their
application. Commissioner Strahan made a motion to approve Mark Twain School’s
award in the amount of $11,000 of Title III Monies. Commissioner Herschend seconded
the motion.
Commissioner Pennel asked if the Commission has already approved their
application? Donna Neeley reminded him that the Commission voted to hold $11,000 of
Title III Monies aside for Mark Twain School and that it has now been published in the
newspaper and the 45-day comment period has been met. Commissioner Herschend
asked if anyone had any complaints about the Mark Twain Title III Project? Neeley
answered that no one complained.
The motion passed by vote: Pennel (yes), Herschend (yes), Strahan (yes).
Commissioner Strahan asked Donna Neeley to send a letter to the other entities
saying that Title III Monies will not be awarded until June 1, 2006. Donna Neeley asked
if the Commission wanted her to hold the current applications or make everyone submit a
new one? Commissioner Strahan stated that she could hold on to the applications that
have already been submitted. Commissioner Herschend requested that Neeley put in the
letter that she is holding the entity’s current application unless their Title III Project plans
are to change, at which point they will have to resubmit their application.
