Highlights from Monday's Commissioner Meeting May 17, 2005
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR BRIEFING:
Chairman Johnson volunteered to attend
Tuesday’s OlyCap meeting in Commissioner
Sullivan’s absence.
PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD: The
following comments were made: The
Commissioners were encouraged to put together
a meeting of all the taxing districts in the
County and provide leadership regarding fiscal
responsibilities because taxpayers are tired of
rising taxes which is what all of the taxing
districts are talking about; the Commissioners
were urged to formally weigh in on the City's
formula store ordinance to represent the
interests in County owned property in the City
limits; the County could bond to restore and
repair the Courthouse and has anyone studied
the bonding capacity, current bond load and the
total assessed valuation of the County? and a
blue ribbon citizens commission needs to be
established to review this issue; there is no legal
way to stop chain stores from coming in but
there is no problem with limiting the scope of
these types of stores; and the Department of
Peace is an idea that is being re-introduced at
the federal level, but it needs to also be started
at the local level and it would be a good thing
for the County to support.
