A
REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF
SEPTEMBER
11, 2007
The
Lake County Board of
INVOCATION
AND PLEDGE
Mr.
Ken Harley, Public Transportation Manager, gave the invocation and led the
Pledge of Allegiance.
AGENDA
UPDATE
Ms. Cindy Hall,
Commr. Hill stated that she would like to add some things
under her business, including the Clerk of the Court’s request for storage as
well as an item concerning impact fees.
Commr. Cadwell stated that under his business, he wanted to
add two things. He explained that they
needed to make a decision on the December Zoning Meeting, and they needed to
get a calendar out and look at the dates to make sure there was not a conflict,
because Growth Management had to advertise.
He also wanted to have a brief discussion on the Belton property, which
might require some action, and he wanted to place that on the Agenda.
On a motion by Commr. Stivender, seconded by Commr. Hill and
carried unanimously by a vote of 5-0, the Board voted to put those items on the
Agenda.
Commr.
Renick stated that she wanted to pull Tab 4, not because she had a problem with
it, but just because of the amount.
On
a motion by Commr. Stivender, seconded by Commr. Hill and carried unanimously
by a vote of 5-0, the Board approved the
Environmental
Services
Request
for approval of Proclamation No 2007-136 declaring the week of September 18,
2007 as Lake County Pollution Prevention Week and allow the students of
Growth
Management
Request for approval of the
Satisfaction and Release of Mortgage, Property Owner: Karl Shirey, Code Case

Procurement
Request to (1) declare the attached list surplus
to County needs, (2) authorize the removal of all of the items on the attached
list from the County's official fixed asset inventory system records, and (3)
authorize the Procurement Services Director to sign vehicle titles.
Public Safety
Request
for approval and authorization for Chairman to execute Frequency
Reconfiguration Agreement as negotiated.
Commr.
Renick stated that the reason she pulled Tab 4, the request to approve the
contract with Norment Security Group, Inc. for upgrades at the Detention Center
and the budget transfer for that in the amount of $590,000.00, was that she
wanted items for that amount to be put on the regular agenda. She commented that she was satisfied and
appreciated the information that Mr. Jim Bannon, Facilities Development and
Management, provided to them in the memo.
She realized that this was a very specialized field and that they had to
go forward with that.
On a
motion by Commr. Renick, seconded by Commr. Stivender and carried unanimously
by a vote of 5-0, the Board approved Tab 4, as follows:
Procurement
Request
for approval and execution of a contract with Norment Security Group, Inc. to
provide an upgrade to the Trentech door control and access system currently
installed at the
PRESENTATION
– NEW VOTING SYSTEM
Ms.
Emogene Stegall, Supervisor of Elections, stated that they were going to
present the optical scan voting system mandated by the State using paper
ballots.
Mr. Gene
Seets, the Regional Sales Manager with Election System and Software (ES
&S), stated that
Mr. Steve
Bolton, Product Developer for ES&S, commented that they tried to make the
system as simple as possible for the poll workers to operate. He showed how the system worked, and mentioned that it had its own security
cover on it and locked down so that no one could interfere with the
system. He stated that the poll workers
would have a key that they would put in the lock for the initial ballot box,
they would open the lid to that, and they would see the DS200 sitting inside
the system. He explained that there was
another key that opened the lid to power the machine up; there was a question
that the workers would answer that opened the polls; and the system would print
out the poll tape. They made it so that
when a poll worker was ready to start the day, it would be simple to open the
polls to produce multiple zero tapes so they could be signed and the election
could be started. He related that the
voter would be handed a ballot when they came in; they voted the ballot; and
then inserted the ballot in the machine.
He noted that there was a “second chance voting” mechanism, which if the
voter mismarked their ballot; left a section blank; or underlined, circled, or
put a checkmark by their choice instead of filling in the oval; the device
would detect it and send it back to the voter with a message on how to correct
the ballot. He also commented that it
imaged the ballot, so that if the election office wanted to bring up the images
later on as they canvassed, they were allowed to look at the electronic image
of the ballot as well as the physical paper one. He commented that they definitely wanted to
design this system so that they did not have to worry about any new rules or
regulations from the State, which were constantly changing.
Mr. Seets
pointed out that the M650, which did the absentee ballots, worked off the same
software as the iVotronic for the people with disabilities and fell into the
same family of election equipment that they presently had, but was just an
additional piece. He also noted that
there was battery backup for the voting equipment on board in case of a power
outage, and it would be able to scan about 600-800 ballots on that battery.
Mr. Bolton
explained that it was simple to load the paper, and all they would have to do
was to drop the printer roll into the slot.
He also mentioned that at the end of the night of the election, there
was a simple procedure that the poll worker would do to close the polls.
Mr. Seets
commented that the system was virtually maintenance free, other than routine
checks for it, and demonstrated that it was easy if something did happen, for
someone to get in and clean something out or for a maintenance person to check
it. He specified that it did not need
any kind of calibration or paper gap sensors.
Commr.
Cadwell asked in the event of a recount, if the paper tape would suffice or if
they would have to put the ballot back through.
Mr. Seets
responded that they would have a series of options, including the paper tape,
thumb drive with the election results on it, the actual paper ballots, and the
electronic images.
Mr. Bolton
added that there had been some precedent set in this State in regard to
electronic copies as documentation, and they were trying to convince them that
in the event of a recount, they could utilize the images and not have to open
up the actual ballot boxes themselves and dig through the paper.
COMMUNITY
SERVICES
FY
2006/07 ANNUAL REPORTS FOR SHIP AND HURRICANE HOUSING
Mr.
Fletcher Smith, Director of the Department of Community Services, stated that
this was for the approval of the 2006/07 SHIP annual report, which also
included work for 2004/05 and 2005/06.
He was requesting that the Board approve the report so they could
proceed with submitting it to the Florida Housing Finance Corporation
(FHFC). He noted that there were some
issues they were working on with the FHFC as far as the funds that were not
spent in 2004/05 and 2005/06. They had
funds that should have been expended by now, but they were requesting an
extension from the FHFC to encumber those funds and spend those down. He explained that there were a number of
reasons for that, including that the environment of the construction industry
during those years made it very difficult to find contractors to work on
repairing homes. He further specified
that during that time, they had two contractors that were working full time
with them on that program, but currently they had twelve contractors.
Ms.
Liz Eginton, Housing and Community Development Director, Department of
Community Services, explained that the handout she presented showed the
cumulative SHIP expenditures. She stated
that they were supposed to be completely spent out in their 2004/05 fund, but
that there was a little left to encumber.
Also, they still had almost $1.4 million that they still needed to
encumber for the 2005/2006 year, so they were a little bit behind as far as
their expenditures were concerned. They
were working with the Florida Housing Finance Corporation to help them develop
a plan to get back in compliance hopefully by early next year, and they were
having a technical assistance visit from the Florida Housing Coalition, which
did the technical assistance for the FHFC, later on in September. She commented that part of the problem was
that they had been understaffed at the supervisory level.
On a motion by Commr. Stivender,
seconded by Commr. Hill and carried unanimously by a vote of 5-0, the Board
approved Tab 7, the request from Community Services for approval of the FY 2006-07 SHIP Annual Report and the
FY 2006-07 Hurricane Housing Annual Report; to direct the Department of
Community Services to submit both Reports to the Florida Housing Finance
Corporation; and to authorize the Chairman to sign the SHIP Annual Report
Certification and the SHIP Regulatory Certification.
SENIOR
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT SPECIALIST POSITION
Ms.
Eginton stated that they recognized that, in order to speed up their
expenditures, they needed additional help at the supervisory level, and this
had become particularly critical since they had gotten the additional tornado
funds. They were requesting a Senior
Community Development Specialist to take some of the load off of their
Community Development Manager. She
stated that it was grant funded, and there were funds available from this year
as well as next year.
Commr.
Cadwell commented that the whole program was confusing and tough to manage, and
there were real ramifications if they did not manage it properly.
Ms.
Eginton related that they had been in contact with the Florida Housing Finance
Corporation very frequently, and they were happy with what they were doing.
Commr.
Stivender commented that this additional person would be working with those
twelve or more contractors to get this funding expended.
On a motion by
Commr. Stivender, seconded by Commr. Hill and carried unanimously by a vote of
5-0, the Board approved Tab 8, a request from Community Services for approval
of the addition of a Senior Community Development Specialist position to the
Housing and Community Development Division of Community Services; approval of
related budget transfer in the amount of $15,000 to fund the positions; and
approval to amend the proposed FY 2008 budget to include this position and
modify the funding allocation.
HOMEOWNER
REVENUE BONDS
Mr.
Fletcher Smith stated that Tab 9 was a request to approve and execute the
resolution to ratify the issuance of Orange County Housing Finance Authority
Homeowner Revenue Bonds and Homeowner Subordinate Revenue Bonds on behalf of
On
a motion by Commr. Stivender, seconded by Commr. Hill and carried unanimously
by a vote of 5-0, the Board approved Resolution No. 2007-137 to ratify issuance
by the Orange County Housing Finance Authority of Homeowner Revenue Bond and
Homeowner Subordinate Revenue Bonds on behalf of
Mr.
W. D. Morris, Executive Director of Orange County Housing Finance Authority,
expressed his appreciation for the Board’s support and for the understanding of
the need to provide affordable housing finance for its residents, and they
looked forward to a continuing relationship.
He also commented that
Commr.
Renick commented that there were so many programs to learn about, but she
thought there were a number of people that were complaining that they did not
have anything in place for addressing affordable housing and assistance for
first time home buyers.
Commr.
Cadwell pointed out that
Commr.
Renick also added that, as stated during discussion of the last two items, they
also had trouble finding contractors to work for these programs in the past,
but now there were more contractors available to do that.
PUBLIC
HEARING
FIRE
RESCUE ASSESSMENTS FOR FY BEGINNING OCTOBER 1, 2007
Ms.
Jo-Anne Drury from the Budget Office stated that this item was for the purpose
of setting the final Fire Rescue
Assessment rates for fiscal year 2008.
She specified that the residential rate was proposed to be $197 per
year, and all of the proposed rates, which were included in the Agenda package,
were based on a study done by a consultant in 2003. She related that the proposed rates were
included on the taxpayer TRIM notices and were the maximum rates that they
could set that day.
The
Chairman opened the public hearing.
Mr.
Jim Franklin, a resident of
Mr.
David Barkin, a
Mr.
Troy Lewis, a resident of the
There
being no further individuals who wished to address the Board, the Chairman closed
the public hearing.
Mr.
Gary Kaiser, Public Safety Director, stated that the Board has been very
supportive the last four years of building this fire department. He explained that they have transitioned from
more than half of a volunteer force to a professional force, which was
expensive, but that they tried to do the most with every dollar that they
had. He assured the Board that they were
growing the department and were reaching out to those areas that had been
remote and had not had any service, and they were working toward a resolution
of the unacceptable response times. He
specified that this resolution was moving in that direction and addressing the
staffing issue to put more full time personnel to address that. He also noted that they were down to three
active volunteers left in the entire county, so they had to make up that
deficit. He opined that they were very
close to having truly county-wide full time professional service.
Commr.
Cadwell asked if the plan he was referring to would give some relief down in
that area.
Mr.
Kaiser assured Commr. Cadwell that it would give relief, and added that they
were desperately trying to catch up and had been systematically addressing the
audit done the first summer he arrived.
Commr.
Cadwell commented that they had stayed true to the plan for building the
department to what they would need for the citizens, and they were getting
towards the end and needed to finish the job.
Fire
Chief John Jolliff stated that Fire Station 110 on CR 561 was an existing building,
so they could staff that. He explained
that Fire Station 79 would have to be new, since there was nothing there.
Ms.
Drury added that if the rate were to stay the same this fiscal year, they would
be about $2.5 million short in the fire rescue budget, which would have to be
made up with personnel issues.
Mr.
Kaiser stated that they would make every effort to extend the service as far as
they possibly could without jeopardizing the safety of any of the people that
were out there, either the public or employees.
Commr.
Cadwell commented that they were probably going to be alright with the proposed
fee, but they wanted them to man Station 110 as part of the plan, with the
understanding that they would have to address some issues regarding personnel next
year.
Mr.
Franklin re-addressed the Board to ask the Board to screen the tax exemption
list, and stated that all the properties on the exemption list were not all
non-profit. He related that there were
restaurants, hotels, and dormitories on that list, and opined that he did not
think a building should be exempt just because it was owned by a church. He suggested that the Board members get a
copy of the exemption list and screen it.
Commr.
Renick thought that they could man Station 110 on CR 561 and Station 111 in
Commr.
Cadwell commented that there would have to be a commitment next year to hire
people to man those brand new stations.
Mr.
Kaiser specified that they had 15 overhire positions, and if they were to use
those people, it would probably increase their overtime budget by 50 percent.
Commr.
Stivender asked if she made a motion to raise the assessment fee, to man
Stations 110 and 111, and to review the exemptions, would the proposed
assessment cover that this year.
Commr.
Cadwell commented that he was very sympathetic to the residents in those areas,
but he thought that they should look at call volumes and other data before
making decisions on manning the fire stations.
He also opined that telling them where to put fire stations in the
resolution to pass a fee made no sense business-wise or safety-wise.
Commr.
Stivender moved to impose the fire rescue assessment as presented and to review
the exemptions for the non-profits, and to direct staff to look at how they
could get people manned at Station 110 and 111.
Commr. Hill seconded it for discussion.
Commr.
Renick stated that it was her understanding that they had stations out there
that were not manned and that with this increase in fire fee, they would be able
to man those.
Commr.
Stivender stated that her understanding was that the CR 561 Station would be
able to be manned, and the increase would also prevent further layoffs.
Mr.
Kaiser stated that the budget request was to staff Station 110 on CR 561, and there
would be three overhires in there.
Commr.
Stivender withdrew her motion, and Commr. Hill withdrew her second. Commr. Stivender asked Mr. Sandy Minkoff,
Mr.
Minkoff responded that it should just be direction to the
Ms.
Cindy Hall,
On
a motion by Commr. Stivender, seconded by Commr. Hill and carried unanimously
by a vote of 5-0, the Board moved to impose the Fire Rescue Assessment as
presented to the Board in Resolution No. 2007-138 for the Fiscal Year beginning
October 1, 2007, and to have staff review the exemptions.
RECESS
AND REASSEMBLY
At
10:20 a.m., the Chairman announced that the Board would recess for fifteen
minutes.
SOLID
WASTE MATERIALS ASSESSMENT FOR FY 2007/2008
Mr.
Daryl Smith, Environmental Services Director, stated that this was the request
to approve the final resolution for the Solid Waste Materials Assessment for
Fiscal Year 2007/2008 and each fiscal year thereafter until discontinued or
changed. He emphasized that this
included the proposal that the assessment be increased by $13 from the existing
$174 up to $187. He also noted that over
the past five years, the assessment did go up to $180 but came back down to
$174, and it had been there for the past three years. One reason he thought it was important to
approve the assessment was that the collection services that they currently
provided to the residents of the unincorporated area of the County were
provided by outside contractors, and that part of the contract provision was
that the fees were increased on an annual basis based on certain economic
factors. He specified that the average
was about $105 when they started, and today it was up to over $129, and none of
that has been added to the cost of the services to their customers. He stated that the other customers would end
up subsidizing those increases for the unincorporated customers. He stated that the second consideration was
regarding the solid waste management system becoming an enterprise fund and how
they were viewed by the financial community, so that if they went into the bond
market to receive funding, they would want to be reviewed favorably. He also commented that their rates were the
second lowest compared to all the other municipalities. He concluded that he thought it made sense at
this time to approve that $13 increase and recommended that the Board adopt the
increased fee.
The
Chairman opened the public hearing.
Mr.
Jim Miller, a resident of Leesburg, stated that the state legislature earlier
in the year directed local governments to reduce property taxes for everyone,
and the fear was that fees assessment such as this would go up in
response. He was concerned that
unincorporated Lake was being used to subsidize the rest of
There
being no further individuals who wished to address the Board, the Chairman
closed the public hearing.
Commr.
Cadwell commented that the Board was also concerned about fee increases, and
that he thought after looking at the numbers that this was an area where they
could continue to work with the dollars they had available and not raise it.
Commr.
Stewart commented that the County’s citizens were having trouble paying their
taxes, and they needed to keep the rates from going up as much as
possible. She stated that the fire
assessment was concerning public safety and was a different matter, but she
believed they needed to keep the load off of their citizens as much as they
could.
Commr.
Renick stated that she had originally wanted to advertise this to have more
time to learn more about this issue to make an educated decision, but now she
was not willing to go through with an increase either at this time.
Commr.
Hill stated that usually they reflected the fund balances a bit low at this
time with the reserves and the contingencies, and after the audits were
completed the first of next year, they might want to re-address it and see
where they were at that time. She
suggested that they could always adjust it in midyear, but she appreciated that
the Board wanted to stay with the current fee.
She also hoped that they stayed with the recycling program.
On
a motion by Commr. Hill, seconded by Commr. Stivender and carried unanimously
by a vote of 5-0, the Board approved Resolution No. 2007-139 for the Final
Assessment for Solid Waste Materials Assessment for fiscal year 2007-2008,
staying with the current fee of $174, and looking to see if there was a need
for an adjustment in midyear.
REPORTS
COMMISSIONER
HILL – VICE CHAIRMAN AND DISTRICT 1
CLERK
OF THE COURT’S STORAGE NEEDS
Commr.
Hill reported that she looked into the record storage needs for the Clerk, as
directed at the previous BCC meeting.
She stated that she met with the Clerk and went out to the warehouse,
and the Sheriff’s storage needs were at a different level than the Clerk’s, who
needed air conditioning, fire suppression, staffing availability and use, easy
access to the records, and a different type of shelving and furniture. She commented that they could accommodate
them within that warehouse easier and less costly, on property they already
owned.
Mr.
Jim Bannon, Facilities Development and Management Director, showed a sketch of
the expansion, and commented that this came about because they were very tight
for space, and as soon as this property became available, everyone wanted
it. His maintenance staff moved into
that building after they did the swap with Belton and he took over the building
downtown. In addition to that, under the
Capital Assets, they had a lot of surplus equipment. He had looked at the Clerk’s needs and
identified those at around 10,000 square feet and had identified that
Information Technology (IT) required an additional 3,200 square feet, so their
proposal would be to add an addition on to the existing warehouse
building. He pointed out on the overall
site drawing the existing building and the addition to that building. He also related that the intention would be
that over the years, they would gradually extend the building out in one
direction, and he may have to look at reconfiguring the road so that it would
not interfere with any current or future expansion. He explained that if the Board approved this,
they would begin in four to six months.
Commr.
Stivender commented that would mean that they would not be able to use that
space for another nine to twelve months.
Commr.
Hill opined that as long as the Clerk saw some progress on this issue, she
thought he would be alright with that.
Commr.
Stivender asked what funding source this would come out of.
Commr.
Hill responded that they could probably use the half million dollars that they
had slated for the Dillard project, and they had fairground funds and
reserves. She stated that they just
needed direction on this.
Commr.
Stivender commented that this was the direction they originally started when
they looked at that warehouse, so she thought that would be the best direction
to go in, because then it was permanently owned by the County.
Commr.
Cadwell asked if the original Agenda item was the approval of a lease.
Ms.
Cindy Hall,
Commr.
Cadwell ruled that it was on the Agenda, and they tabled it. He asked for a motion regarding the request
to negotiate a lease.
On
a motion by Commr. Hill, seconded by Commr. Stivender and carried unanimously
by a vote of 5-0, the Board moved to deny the lease agreement request for the
Dillard property for the Clerk’s storage needs.
On
a motion by Commr. Hill, seconded by Commr. Stivender and carried unanimously
by a vote of 5-0, the Board moved to direct staff to look into the expansion of
the warehouse and funding sources for that.
CONFLICT
WITH IMPACT FEE COMMITTEE MEETING
Commr.
Hill explained that the Impact Fee Committee was going to be meeting on
September 20 to re-discuss the School Impact Fee, which was the same date as
their joint meeting with the
Mr.
Sandy Minkoff,
Commr.
Cadwell suggested that they reschedule the Impact Fee meeting. He asked Commr. Hill how cumbersome it would
be to reschedule that.
Commr.
Hill stated that she thought they could do that.
Ms.
Angi Thompson, Impact Fee Coordinator, stated that they had a consultant coming
from
Commr.
Cadwell gave direction to try to reschedule that meeting.
Commr.
Hill added that there would be quite a few issues raised within that study.
Commr.
Cadwell commented that he thought it was important that they had a full Board
present at the
COMMISSIONER
CADWELL – CHAIRMAN AND DISTRICT 5
SCHEDULING
OF DECEMBER ZONING MEETING
Commr.
Cadwell stated that he had a request from the Zoning Department to make sure
their dates were right in regards to getting out letters and advertisements on
the December Zoning meeting.
Ms.
Cindy Hall,
Commr.
Cadwell directed Ms. Hall to advise the Zoning Department about that date.
BELTON
PROPERTY ISSUE
Commr.
Cadwell stated that he was going to hold off discussing the Belton issue for a
week. He commented that every time they
brought that building up, no one wanted it or everyone wanted it, so they would
talk about that next week.
RECESS
AND REASSEMBLY
The
Chairman announced at 11:05 a.m. that they would recess for fifteen minutes.
CITIZEN
QUESTION AND COMMENT PERIOD
Mr.
Roy Hunter, from the Northeast Lake Chamber of Commerce, thanked Ms. Allison
Thall, the Director of the Elder Affairs Council, for the good job she did on
the Elder Affairs Symposium last Friday, September 7. He commented that Ms. Thall had done a
terrific job on everything, including the news letter. He opined that all the members of that
committee were great.
He
stated that the Northeast Chamber meeting was that night, September 11, in
which Mr. Jerry Smith, Emergency Management Director, would be talking about
dealing with emergencies. He mentioned
that this meeting would be at the Community Center instead of the school,
because of a scheduling conflict.
BUDGET
ISSUES
Commr.
Renick noted that they had the issue of the fields in
Commr.
Cadwell asked where the County was in regard to the fairgrounds project,
because they had set money aside over and over and changed their minds about
what they were going to do.
Ms.
Hall stated that there were a number of smaller projects that they had funded
in next year’s budget, and the fairgrounds was one of them at $1.5 million for
an air conditioning system for that building and other renovations. She explained that they would need to look at
their reserve levels, and as far as any large quantity of dollars, she wanted
to look into it and see what she could come up with to propose to the Board.
Commr.
Hall stated that there were wants and needs, and Mr. Watkins’ request was a
definite need. She stated that she knew
there was a need for ball fields in the South Lake area, but she wanted to know
how the City of Clermont had utilized their impact fee with their parks program
and whether they had bought property already with that money.
Commr.
Renick explained that they were in the process of acquiring land, but not for
an active park, and she thought the Board should have a workshop to discuss all
the questions they had regarding Clermont.
She wanted to set a priority to look at that issue, because they had
children in the unincorporated areas that did not have any County park facilities.
Commr.
Hill stated that was by design, because they had asked the cities to step up to
provide active parks and recreation within the city, and Clermont created their
impact fee for that purpose. She did not
want to overlay something that they had already started.
Commr.
Renick commented that the numbers of children using the facilities were huge.
Commr.
Cadwell opined that the money that they needed to discuss was the large amount
of infrastructure money that they gave to Clermont, such as for
Commr.
Stewart commented that she did not realize what a critical need there was in
that area for ball parks, and she thought that they should do what they could
to get the process going to help them down there.
Commr.
Cadwell stated that they needed to direct staff to look for funding sources for
that. He noted that the money they were
going to look at was mostly going to be capital dollars, such as sales tax, and
not general fund dollars. He commented
that during the budget process, they needed to make a commitment to move
forward down there.
On
a motion by Commr. Renick, seconded by Commr. Stivender and carried unanimously
by a vote of 5-0, the Board directed staff to re-evaluate the budget to find
money to designate for pursuing regional
park land in South Lake County.
CABLE
TELEVISION CONTRACT
Commr.
Hill stated that she had previously brought up the Lakefront TV issue, and that
Ms. Hall had met with Mr. Jay Evans, City Manager of Leesburg regarding that.
Ms.
Hall explained that there was $66,000 that they did not need to budget yet,
which was good news. She related that
the agreement that they had with Leesburg when they first partnered with them
for Lakefront TV gave them a three-year grace period, and that three years was
not yet up. She further explained that
they would be removing from the general fund the $66,000 that they had budgeted
for connections to certain cable companies.
Commr.
Hill suggested that they re-address that whole concept and the money that was
set aside for the second station, which was to be for emergency purposes and
was not set up to have the level of programming that it currently had. She related that she had talked to the
college, and they were willing to take any and all of that back and redo it to
the level that the Board wanted. She
also commented that they increased it one year to reach the entire county
during an emergency, but that it still did not do that. She suggested that they look at the reverse
911 or some other way to make sure that they were reaching all of the pockets
that the emergency station was not.
Commr.
Cadwell commented that that issue was a complicated one that they needed to
discuss and get a history of how the system worked and what the intent
was. He stated that they needed to make a
policy decision about programming, but that it was not a budget issue.
LAW
LIBRARY LEASE
Commr.
Hill asked if they should discuss the law library, or if the Board wanted to
wait and do that at a workshop.
Mr.
Sandy Minkoff,
Commr.
Cadwell recommended that they think that through to make sure that it was
alright with the judges, lawyers, and citizens that used that.
ADJOURNMENT
There
being no further business to be brought to the attention of the Board, the
meeting was adjourned at 11:45 a.m.
