Of special note for this meeting is the acceptance of Dr. Vosler’s letter of resignation as Preble County Corner effective June 30, 2011.

There is also a discussion on missing the June 15, Preble County Farm Bureau meeting.

The water and sewer at Goose Creek also gets some discussion.

This is the second meeting in a row that ends with a recess but no move to adjourn. The Commissioners were not going to Kentucky for this one and there were two meetings scheduled for the afternoon and neither was on the audio cd that I received. I’ll check on this issue Monday as I did not discover the abrupt ending until after 5:00 p.m.

Commissioner Day – That's true but we also had this scheduled before we knew about the Farm Bureau meeting.

That is a non factual statement and this commission recently suspended a Maintenance Supervisor three days for making them in Executive Session. This one is on the record.

Commissioner Wesler –  Ahh No not really, we, I ahh we said we were going to go to the policy development meeting until we found that was are one and only time

Commissioner Day – Well that is what I mean.

Commissioner Wesler – So I called Lane Oswald (President of Preble County Farm Bureau) and told him exactly because you had originally reserved for us.

Connie – That's right, correct, I had reserved three reservations for you there. Then we found out that the only time you could go down that met everybody's schedule was last Wednesday.

This trip had been put off for months.

Commissioner Wesler – That's right

Commissioner Day – Well I guess what I what I meant David was we have been trying to make this happen.

That is true
