Roger Moynahan reviewed his and Joy McCarthy-Sessing's appearance at last Thursday's county council meeting during the Kosciusko Development Inc.board of director's meeting Wednesday. Moynahan, outgoing chairman of the board, said he thought the council was supportive of additional funding for the organization. Moynahan and Sessing first approached the county council in February, asking for a total of $100,000 per year for four years to foster economic development.One year ago the county council advised them to solicit support from other city and town councils, too, which they did. Moynahan repeated the request for additional funding during the county budget hearings. When the county-KDI contract arrived, the only financial guarantee was for a maximum of $33,250.KDI will receive $25,000 and the county matches fundraising efforts, up to $33,250. The council advised Moynahan that the commissioners must make a recommendation regarding the additional funds.
