May 26th Commissioners Meeting

The Fremont County Board of Commissioners dealt with a brief agenda of business in a matter of minutes Tuesday for their regular meeting.

Other than a pair of routine liquor license renewals for Merlino's Belvedere and the Quality Inn which were approved, the Commissioners only business of the day was a public hearing on a Community Service Block Grant application.
The Upper Arkansas Area Council of Governments is seeking $165,113 in community service grant dollars to be distributed as part of the federal government's stimulus package. Council of Governments Director Judy Lohnes said the two priorities for community service funding are for employment and for health care and nutrition. She said part of the money will be directed towards programs in the Colorado Workforce Center, the Fremont County Public Health Agency, and a parents training plan at Fremont County Head Start.

There were no public comments offered at the hearing and no board action was required.
