(Harlan) The Shelby County Board of Supervisors discussed a Beaver Bounty for this trapping season at their meeting last week.
According to the minutes, upon the Supervisors’ approval there is $5,000 being budgeted toward the annual program. Claim forms are available in the Auditor’s Office and all claims must be submitted through the Conservation Department.
Shelby County Engineer Brandon Burmeister stated that the beaver problems have been lessened with the bounty.
In other news, Shelby County Auditor Mark Maxwell presented the Supervisors with a fiscal sponsor agreement for grants applied for from the Community Foundations. The grants in this agreement include the Shelby County Conservation Board for kayak launch port/dock, Shelby County EMA to outfit a vehicle to be a mobile command unit in case of a major emergency and the Corley Community Club for new heating and AC/ units. The Corley Community Club was included because the project lies within an unincorporated area of the County. The Supervisors all voted in favor of the fiscal sponsorship.
