<br />1 entire study is too great an expense at this time, then he would suggest that any expenditure is <br />2 also too large to attempt at this time. A major point in his opposition to the proposal is that this <br />3 is a time when Orange County finds itself unable to keep a waste collection site in the southern <br />4 part of the County open, institutes a hiring freeze, and cuts Library Services and other services, <br />5 and he cannot understand how this expenditure can be justified. He respectfully requested that <br />6 the funds for this study be redirected to Solid Waste in order to keep the convenience center <br />7 open and any additional funds be directed to Library Services or other services that directly <br />8 affect the taxpayers. He asked that the bids be rejected as per Section B of the RFP. <br />9 <br />10 Commissioner Nelson arrived at 7:16 PM . <br />11 <br />12 Nancy Burger said that she is seeking some justice. She has lost a dog that was stolen <br />13 from a residence. She is having a hard time dealing with the Sheriff's Department in retrieving <br />14 this dog. She said that she has everything necessary to retrieve the dog and she is at her wits <br />15 end. <br />16 John Roberts said that he has talked to Ms. Burger in his office and he told her that he <br />17 would address this with the Sheriff. <br />18 Nancy Burger said that when she talked with John Roberts, he assured her that he <br />19 could not do anything since he was representing the Sherriff and that, if everything that she <br />20 said was true, that she could sue the Sheriff. She said that she has no desire to sue the <br />21 Sheriff. She just wants her dog back. <br />22 Chair Foushee asked Ms. Burger to give her information to the Clerk and then John <br />23 Roberts will call her in a couple of days. <br />24 <br />25 b.
