Education Committee:    

Kirby Nocker, President of RKDN Consulting Group, LLC will be presenting our first educational class for 2010.  Entitled “Creating & Managing Expectations”, the class is open to all members and their employees.  Though the class will offer two hours of credit for the Dwelling Contractor Qualifier continuing education learning credits, it is not geared only for builder members but associate members as well.  The two hour class has been scheduled for January 19^th at 7:30 a.m.; more information regarding the class, location, etc. will be provided in the next newsletter.

  Shawano County Planning, Development & Zoning Committee again brought  their proposal for permit and other fee increases back to the County Board for approval at the September 23^rd County Board Meeting.  The County Board meeting opened with public comments from WRBA representatives protesting the fee hikes, with District 19 Supervisor Steve Gueths  and District 7 Supervisor Gene Hoppe echoing those concerns.    For the second time this year, the board voted down the increases. 

The next meeting scheduled regarding the Shawano County Zoning Code Update will be on October 27^th and will include prioritizing directions for residential zoning standards and also questions and responses regarding non-residential zoning standards.
