SHORT MEETING- GOOD NIGHT FOR MANY -BUT BE ON THE LOOKOUT

I was wrong it was not a long night at the Winnebago County Board meeting last night. In part because the proposal to have user fee put in place for users of the soccer fields was pulled from the agenda.

Also because those speaking in favor of the resolution to fund the expansion and upgrade of the Communication Center at UW-Fox Valley where very concise in making their argument for why the project should be done. I do give a great deal of credit to Dean Perry for lobbying and making a very good presentation last night for it passed 35-2 over mine another supervisor voting against the project. It was not easy to vote no for I felt the project was worth while but it is a project that should be done and considered by the State of Wisconsin and the state legislature.

While the soccer fee proposal was pulled by the committee chair he did stay the committee should consider a lease agreement with the soccer organization. I would oppose that as well since the could the impression that an outside organization would have exclusive rights to the soccer fields - a logistical nightmare in my view.
