SEPTEMBER 26, 2018
Commissioners hear concerns
from Soil and Water District
By Beth Scott

COSHOCTON – Th e Coshocton County
Commissioners met with representatives
from the Coshocton Soil and Water Con-
servation District (SWCD) at their regular
Wednesday meeting on Sept. 19. Th e
SWCD have concerns about the Farm
Service Administration (FSA), which is
currently housed in the SWCD offi ce, and
their possible move to another location in
Coshocton.
“It’s a concern with the clients that we
both serve and all of the benefi ts that we
off er our clients to be there together,” said
Deb Bigelow, director of SWCD. “It would
make things a lot diff erent if that [the
move] would come to fruition. It would
aff ect the number of people coming
through the door.”
Th e FSA has considered moving from
the county services building for over a
year and a space in Coshocton has been
off ered to them. If they would leave the
county services building, the county
would lose money in rental income.
Th e commissioners would then look for
another agency to fi ll the offi ce space,
which shares an offi ce with the SWCD.
In 2017, the commissioners sent a letter
asking the FSA to stay in their current
location. However, the FSA responded
with a list of requirements that the com-
missioners said are not feasible includ-
ing more parking spaces for trucks and
trailers, a locked air-conditioned server
room, and a 2,800 square foot offi ce. Th ey
currently have 1,899 square feet.
Th e SWCD said that currently, they use
the fairgrounds for parking if clientele
come to their offi ce with a trailer hitched
to a truck and wondered if the FSA could
do the same for their parking situation.
Th e SWCD said they just wanted to
approach the commissioners with their
concerns if the FSA decides to move to
another location. Th e commissioners
said they would like to review the list of
requests from the FSA to see if they can
meet some of those needs.
Th e commissioners also approved and
reviewed:
• Received the dog warden’s report
for the week ending Sept. 17 with 11
dogs picked up by the warden, two dogs
destroyed, 15 dog licenses sold, 17 dogs
sold, 10 dogs redeemed, 14 dogs per
owner surrender, $240 in boarding fees
collected, fi ve citations issued, and 37
calls handled for a total of $1,025 in fees
collected
• A motion to sign a letter of support
for the Coshocton County Sheriff ’s
Offi ce 2019 Grant Funding Request to
the Coshocton Fairfi eld Licking Perry
Solid Waste District for their Litter Law
Enforcement Program in the amount of
$55,000.
