Donna Baker said that on Friday she will send out an updated list (probably <br /> electronically). She would like this returned by Monday or Tuesday. From that information, she <br /> will send another matrix with the meeting times, along with copies of the web calendar. The <br /> County Commissioners will then send back the main two and then other interests. This <br /> information will be compiled and sent back to the County Commissioners on Thursday as part of <br /> the agenda abstract. <br /> Commissioner Yuhasz said that at the retreat the County Commissioners talked about <br /> what to do to make the meetings run more smoothly. He said that it is not clear to him what was <br /> decided. He asked for information on this. He wants to know when the Board will talk about the <br /> things that it did not decide. <br /> Commissioner Yuhasz made reference to the Manager's Memo and the Orange Grove <br /> Volunteer Fire Company Safer Grant where Homeland Security is going to give the fire <br /> department money to hire people with a decreasing amount over time. He said that this is an <br /> agreement to set a higher tax rate in the future. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs said that this is one of the reasons he wants to complete the fire <br /> and rescue study because the fire department went ahead and did this and then told the County <br /> Commissioners. This is not how the County should operate. <br /> Commissioner Foushee made reference to the question about the retreat items and <br /> said that she and Commissioner Nelson asked the Manager to look at the schedule of proposed <br /> agenda items to determine at what work session the Board can discuss the remaining items of <br /> the agenda from the retreat. This will include the operational procedures. <br /> 6. Adjournment <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Jacobs, seconded by Commissioner Gordon to <br /> adjourn the meeting at 10:06pm. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> Valerie Foushee, Chair <br /> Donna S. Baker, CMC <br /> Clerk to the Board <br />
