The DeWitt County at its Thursday night monthly meeting discussed the future of the contract with the current Marina operator, agreeing to extend the contract for another year.

DeWitt County Board Chair Terry Ferguson told Regional Radio News on the WHOW Morning Show Friday the discussion Thursday centered around the long-range future of the Marina versus the current agreement in place.

Some Board members argue the current contract isn't friendly for the County but Ferguson reminds that Joe Caldwell, the current Marina manager, and his group were the only ones to submit a proposal for management during the last request for proposal.

Ferguson believes the Board has spent a lot of time worrying about the little things. He points out they were going to have an audit done on the Marina at the end of the season.

Ferguson says the Board is split on the Marina and doesn't believe anyone's mind has changed on the issue.
