Adair County Fiscal Court Report 08 Aug 2017 - Report In the 09 August 2017 regular session of Fiscal Court
Click on headline for complete story with photo(s) By Ed Waggener Adair County's revenue and budget problems slowed a possible move to join with the City of Columbia and the Columbia-Adair County Economic Development effort to hire Retail Strategies/Retail Academy to conduct a survey of opportunities for additional retail sales in Adair County, putting the plan on hold for at least brief time. The contribution by the county would have allowed the plan for a modest, $15,000 survey by the Birmingham, Al group, to move forward immediately; the city had voted to fund it's part of the program, contingent on anticipated approval by Fiscal Court last night, Tuesday, August 8, 2017, with CJE Mike Stephens presiding. However, all the court present asked for more information before proceeding, and were looking to Treasurer Melinda Quinn to offer guidance, which she agreed to do, but was unwilling to do so on such short notice. The county's budget, already tight, now has approximately $70,000 in projected available funds based on anticipated revenues for the 2017-2018 fiscal year. Daryl Flatt thinks survey a good idea, but thinks EDA should fund it Magistrate Daryl Flatt, a member of the budget committee, said that his first impression is that the survey is a good idea. But he said the Court requires financial statements before contributing to requests such as this one. His position is that the EDA's cash position - approximately $160,000 - is better than the county's and that they should be primarily responsibible for funding. The Retail Academy/Retail Strategies survey goals would be to 1) Attract new, complimentary, retail and restaurant businesses, 2) Better understand the market and it's unique opportunities, and 3) Support and retain local buisesses, according to an information sheet presented at the meeting. A GAP Analysis which was part of the information sheet noted that within a 10 minute drive of Columbia, "consumers are leaving the market to spend substantial Amounts of money on: 1) Building materials ($6.2 million), 2) Grocery products ($12.8 million), and 3) Food Service ($6.8 million)." The matter did not receive a motion to proceed, and was tabled, for now. Adair County Regional Jailer Joey White's Report Adair County Regional Jailer Joey White reported total charges of $126,66.38 for the month of July, which, after other revenues were added in and other deductions for Adair County ($48,388.96) and other expenses, left $84,852.95 to collect. Jailer White reported that the Adair County Restricted Custody Center provided 2,656 hours of service, which, if paid at $8.00/hour, would have been $21,248. His report was accepted unanimously.
