County considering chamber partnership

By Greg Bebermeyer

(KNZA)--The Doniphan County Commission is considering the feasibility of the county forming a partnership with the city of St. Joseph, Missouri, Chamber of Commerce.

Wathena Mayor John Cluck, St. Joseph Chamber of Commerce President Pat Lilly and Doniphan County Economic Development Director Leah Johnson met with the Commission this week to discuss the proposed partnership.

Lilly gave a presentation on the proposal.

Under the proposal, Johnson would attend St. Joseph Chamber of Commerce meetings and the two entities would assist each other on economic development initiatives in an informal relationship approach.

Cluck said there would be an annual fee of $2,000 to have a representative of Doniphan County attend the Chamber meetings in a non-voting member capacity.

Cluck said he intends to ask the Wathena City Council to pay half the annual cost.

Commission Chairman Thad Geiger tabled action. He said the Commission would gather further information and talk with constituents, while Johnson and Cluck gather input from the mayors of city municipalities in the county.
