Kukay presides over her final planning meeting

Nancy Kukay presided over her final Wyandot Regional Planning Commission meeting Thursday night at the Upper Sandusky Community Library.
Kukay, who accepted a position as project manager with a new ethanol company in Van Wert, said she is happy with the work of the committee.
"It has been an honor," she said. "I have enjoyed my time with you. I respect your work and commitment."
The commission also thanked her for her time. Chris Bruynis temporarily is filling in for Kukay until a permanent replacement is hired. Commissioner Joyce Morehart said she wanted to encourage the Ohio State University Extension Office to make a hire soon so Bruynis does not ever-extend himself.
Kukay said she would be back, however, to see that the Wyandot County Zoning Task Force continues to make progress. The task force is scheduled to meet April 9. The task force will hold meetings in four different quadrants of the county within a two- or three-week span so citizens in those areas can give their opinions about the zoning resolution, Kukay said.
