The R-C Morning Report

It's master plan amendment day at the Douglas County planning commission today. They're kicking off at 10 a.m. with a couple of minor amendments and then wrap up with a crescendo, a proposal to the master plan amendment cycle from once a year to once every quarter. That won't be heard until after 1:30 p.m. Planning commissioners meet at the Douglas County Administrative Building, 1616 Eighth St.

The Douglas County School Board officers Cindy Trigg, Thomas Moore and Keith Roman are meeting at 2:30 p.m. in the Douglas High School media center to apparently discuss the method by which they've been using to summarize evaluations of the superintendent. They're supposed to evaluate the superintendent in public under state law.

Then the whole school board meets for real at 3:30 p.m. Superintendent Carol Lark's evaluation is at 5:30 p.m. then after public comment, Lark's request for an extension of her contract past June 30, 2010, comes up at 6:05 p.m. Then the board will hear why the facilities master plan should trump Pinon Hills Elementary School getting a portable.

Minden town board members and the county commissioners will have their sit-down 6 p.m. today at the CVIC Hall. There's no action on the agenda, but lots of discussion, including Minden's sphere of influence, the relationship between the town and the county, the shared vision for economic development in Minden and regional drainage issues.

A Johnson Lane Man who thought it was a good idea to write down, in a contract, that he traded the use of a car for naked videos of a 17-year-old girl faces sentencing today for attempted use of a minor as a subject of a sexual portrayal in a performance. Prosecutors won't argue for Troy Marvin Creeks to spend more than 10 years in prison, but Judge Dave Gamble could give him up to 20 years in prison.

The weather? Sunny and warm with the high temperature cracking 90 degrees today.
