Commissioner Carey said that since Buckhorn Road and the use of the Jockey lot <br />keeps coming up, perhaps the staff could gather data on all of this and present it all atone time <br />in a future meeting. <br />Geof Gledhill said that the County did not permit the Jockey lot, it happened before the <br />County Commissioners authorized themselves to da it. <br />Commissioner Halkiatis asked who permitted this and Geof Gledhill said that it <br />predated zoning in that district. There are limits on what the County can do. <br />Chair Jacobs said that it is more than just an inconvenience at this point for the <br />residents there; it is degrading to the neighborhood. <br />Commissioner Brown said that there was an article in the News and Observer entitled, <br />"Alamance County May Give Employees Chance to Buy Drugs in Canada." She found this <br />interesting and asked the staff to check with Alamance County to see how they are doing this to <br />allow their employees to purchase prescription drugs at a discounted price. Jahn Link said that <br />they will bring back the pros and cons, but they want to make sure that how they refer this to <br />staff is good practice. <br />4.
