County picks official logo (04/10/06)
Jay County Commissioners
By By MARY ANN LEWIS-
As the county tries to capture the ideas of growth, unity and cooperation, Jay County Commissioners today approved a logo and tagline for the county.
“Growing our Future Together,” along with a logo featuring a red, white and blue motif with Jay County inscribed was adopted by commissioners as the county’s signature.
The logo was chosen this morning from several submitted by Jay County Community Developer Ami Davidson.
Notes from Davidson on the logo chosen by commissioners Milo Miller Jr., Gary Theurer, and Faron Parr chose said: “The use of red, white and blue as well as the flag refer to patriotic history, including John Jay significance. One star means one community and Jay County being the only one in the U.S. The multiple stripes stand for the many groups and people working together.”
Also today, commissioners agreed to rent additional space at the county-owned building at Ship and West Main streets, to the current occupant, Phyllis Williams, co-owner of the Estate Gallery.
Williams was the only person to attend this morning’s meeting when commissioners had planned to make a decision about the space — vacated when Hanni Plumbing Heating & Cooling moved its business to the north side of Portland.
“It seems like you’re the only interested party,” Miller told Williams.
While Williams will be utilizing a larger part of the building, Miller said commissioners would be retaining some areas for storage.
Commissioners agreed to rent the space to Williams for $300 per month, with the lease to be effective May 1.
Miller also said it is hoped repair of the roof can be completed before that date.
“We’ll do the patch work when the weather warms up,” he said.
Also meeting as the drainage board today, members agreed to a variance of the drainage code to John Fennig, owner of Cross Roads Precision Tool, on county road 800 South near Salem in Madison Township. Fennig plans to build a 60-foot by 40-foot addition to the south of his existing building.
Since drainage from the property would not affect any nearby landowners in the Dale Marsh Watershed, the board approved his request.
“It will impact him more than anyone else,” Jay County surveyor Brad Daniels told the board.
In another drainage board matter, the board also approved a variance request from Daniel Neuenschwander to build a new house on county road 500 North, near county road 150 West.
Neuenschwander explained that there is currently an abandoned house on the property and he wants to tear it down and rebuild on that spot.
The edge of the home will be located about 30 feet from the Shirk Ditch in the Loblolly Watershed in Jackson Township.
Board members also questioned Daniels about a hole on county road 300 West north of Ind. 67.
Miller said a large part of the roadway had been dug recently apparently by a surveyor and had not yet been repaired as per county requirements.
Daniels said he was unaware of the surveyor that had damaged the roadway and would see that it is property repaired.[[In-content Ad]]
