Highlights from Monday’s Commissioner Meeting October 26, 2010
PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD: The
following comments were made by citizens in
attendance at the meeting and reflect their
personal opinions: Some county staff have
turned off the "return receipt" on their County
e-mail and it should be a policy that it be left
on; Commissioners drive County cars on
County business and a Commissioner stated
that he hasn't been getting mileage for driving
his own vehicle but does use a County vehicle;
information was presented (a report) about the
economic impact of the PT Paper co-
generation project; a comment was made
about the information presented in a political
flyer; and the information about the attackers
in the death of a person in the West End has
raised some concern about the resources
available to people in that area; a constituent’s
frustration about the investigation into the
death of a person in the West End; the
possible cuts to employees wages should be
reviewed very carefully and other areas to cut
should be reviewed before cuts are made; the
County's campaign for Proposition No. 1 looks
like extortion and is not appropriate; there
have been wild claims made for years about
global warming and climate change and the
Board needs to be cautious in believing these
claims; Proposition 1 is not extortion it is an
attempt for the County to continue to provide
the services that people need and want.
