Preble County P 16
A couple discussions on P 16 and Steven Keifer of ACHIEVE took place. The most relevant information came from Kevin Turner the Preble County Educational Services Superintendant. He advised the Commissioners that by statute there is a requirement for county involvement and that all County School Superintendants are in favor of participation. Preble County would be part of a four county group that is looking at going after $1.5 million in grants and scholarship money. This topic was previously covered on this website in this post: http://www.citizensforpreblecounty.com/news/?p=879Preble County Expo Center Friction Continues
Commissioner Wesler informed on an inspection he attended at the Preble County Expo Center. The friction between the Pork Festival and Ag Society continues on multiple fronts as to the “reasonable use” of the building. Commissioner Chris Day feels documentation on agreements for use of the building needs to be provided to county commissioners with no delay or events halted without it. At least one instance of documentation being held up can be attributed to the County Prosecutor’s office involvement and delay of forwarding it. Fear of being wide open to liability was mentioned.Preble County Broadband Internet & Proposed Fiber Optic Loop
An 80 mile fiber optic loop was discussed in a meeting with Matt Appenzeller and others. In attendance were multiple people to discuss the benefits and needs for current and future higher speed broadband. Kevin Turner of the Preble County ESC told about House Bill 407 that may pass at the state level. The bill would permit schools to make up calamity days by having students access online lessons that could be returned when school was back in session. Other benefits would allow students at schools unable to offer a wide curriculum to take classes online instead of using brick and mortar buildings. This would also aid some 400 students and families already being home schooled in the county. Charlie Pennington felt it would be a good economic development tool. Carrie Steele – Preble County ESC Board President offered her views. Bob Olding of Fiber Optic Solutions gave the most wide ranging presentation on the issue. Matt Appenzeller pointed out that the effort is at a standstill unless there is involvement from the county. The county is the only group with the assets available to apply for matching grants. He suggested having one commissioner get involved with the meetings. Commissioner Day voiced concern that the coverage would not be 100% available to everyone in the county. He also felt that marketing the effort as 100% coverage was a false statement and not fair to people. The day’s meeting closed with Commissioner Wesler gone and comments that did not look promising for the county wide broadband issue if dependent on county commission involvement.
