Old Business:

Five Year Master Plan Update:

Kenneth Hughes, Noble County Plan Director, distributed copies of the completed Noble County Parks and Recreation Master Plan for 2019-2024. The plan is available electronically. Thank you to Kenneth for all of his work on this project. The main action items are the trails in Noble County and improvement of water recreation in Noble County.

Cosperville Boat Launch Site:

Kenneth Hughes secured two appraisals of the Cosperville property that may be developed into a boat launch. The appraisals came in at $5,000.00 and $6,500.00. Kenneth is working on funding options for the purchase of the property.

Noble County Recreational Council:

Lori Gagen, Marketing Specialist for the Noble County Economic Development Corporation, is compiling a list of people to invite to an initial meeting of the Noble County Recreational Council. Topics for the first meeting could include a review of the recreational resources already developed in Noble County, as well as a discussion on who is doing what and where. A large map of recreational sites in the county would be helpful for the initial meeting. It was noted that Steve Hook has prepared maps of recreational locations, and would be a good resource for creating a large recreational map.

Lori will contact Scott Allen to work on a date, time and location of the first meeting.
