The Nevada County Quorum Court met on Tuesday (6-10). The financial report was approved. David Gunnison spoke to the JP’s for 45 minutes about disaster money that was supposed to come to the county but instead got sent to the wrong bank.

The court talked about a weather radar that will be put in in the lower part of the County which was already been approved.

A private individual spoke about wanting to open up an RV park in Willisville. They were informed they needed to call Little Rock.

Willisville Fire Department wants to switch from municipal to volunteer in order to receive more grants.

County Judge Mike Otwell asked permission to purchase a road packer. A vote was taken and only 1 JP voted against the purchase.

JP Regina Irizarry requested a 5-year business plan for money raised by the new tax. The money won’t be received until December 27th. The issue was tabled with the plan to try to come up with a committee rather than hiring an outside professional.   Ideas which have been mentioned as needing funding from the tax are the fixing of the roads, the jail, and 4 offices in the courthouse need air-conditioning.  It was also noted the landfill needs lots of work.  The facility needs compactors and the roof needs work.  The meeting then adjourned.
