Kinnickinnic Project Vouchers
Jensen explained reason for the special meeting. LCC monthly meeting
was held on January 7. LCD voucher ##271 ($2,024.00 - Star Embroidery
- embroidered promotional items) was one of the vouchers that was
reviewed, discussed, and approved.
Jensen received a phone call from Finance Director Loney who indicated
he was having trouble with this one voucher, thought that some county
board members wanted a "free" jacket. He was going to hold voucher up
and he would talk with Christenson. Christenson discussed the matter
with Project Manager Popple. Popple went to Government Center and
talked with Loney and assumed that the matter had been resolved.
Information was given to county newspapers and the issue received much
adverse publicity.
Sam Warp referred to the Village of Hammond Police promoting the DARE
program. Promotional items made the public aware of that program.
Popple stated that advertising (public awareness) is a way to market
the watershed. It is part of the program and is a common practice to
get community support.
Berenschot made motion to direct Popple to prepare a letter to be sent
to all County Board Supervisors stating the facts (based on advice
from the Steering Committee and the LCC) regarding the Kinnickinnic
Watershed promotional items issue. Seconded by Bethke. Carried.
Jensen adjourned meeting at 9:35 a.m.
