Lakeview Manor Funding - Res. No. 23 (13-14). Melissa Drews, Lakeview Manor Administrator and Lakeview Manor Committee Chair Barrington answered questions and discussed the possibilities of funding this project, no estimates on cost of remodel was given at this time. This would need more study; the resolution would authorize them to explore the possibilities of making a CBRF unit and keep 2 Nursing Home units. Selling of the land should be taken up with Public Property and Solid Waste Board. For bonding you would need two separate resolutions, one for authorization and one for the sale of the bonds. Motion: Supr. Barrington moved and Supr. Sorensen seconded the motion to forward this resolution to the full county board. Motion carried with 11 ayes and 1 nay, Supr. Craig voting no.
Capital Improvement Bonding Schedule. Finance Director Heidi Dombrowski explained that in order to look at continuing bonding we would need to discuss what the projects would be and to make sure they fit the criteria for bonding. Heidi will be calling our Financial Advisor Todd Taves and see if he could attend either another Jt. Finance/Executive Committee meeting or County Board. They are looking at getting the information now and perhaps be able to bond in January.
