Highway updates given under Thompson due to Listerman absence.
Pickens- Claims and minutes approved
Witte- Attorney:
Scott Carlton lawsuit vs Shane McHenry was voluntarily withdrawn by Carlton. County is “off the hook” on that one. He was suing for interference with his employment as McHenry allegedly informed his employers that he wa engaged in illegal activities.
County has been named in a couple more foreclosure actions- a normal part of the process.
Witte met with Jeff Tucker and has instructed Listerman to provide a history of the county and Tucker on Seldom Seen road issues. Listerman will have this by Friday.
Hughes- asked for clarification on the animal director selection. He wanted the Animal Board to preview and recommend 3 choices. Commissioners agreed.
Hughes stated he had an email from L&I regarding home permits being stopped. The email will be forwarded to Plan Director and PC attorney- McGill- for review and clarification.
Thompson- reported that they will close on Randall Avenue property on Dec 8. Pickens will have checks ready at that time. Doug Denmure is preparing the deed.
Thompson also reported the Artemis camera contracts are let and message boards will be next.
Thompson said the paper will post the list of appointments for county offices so any citizen interested can apply. There is an issue with animal control board having more members than originally set up. ( 7 vs 9) That will be researched.
Raection PC will have website up close to the first of the year. They will also be training dept heads on how to enter material.
Commissioners approved Ginny Daum getting business cards to use for the TriState Medical Reserve Corps. She is the volunteer coordinator.
LATE ARRIVAL
Kraus Jr discussed the possibility of getting money to fund research of all old county roads to get an accurate list. He will do further research on this to decide if it is feasible.
