Commissioner Lynch passed away last week.

Also present: Gayle Pennington, Auditor, Andy Baudendistel, Attorney, 

ABSENT: Sue Hayden, Administrator- still covering another meeting

Baudendistel read the Title VI statement as required by law.

Commissioner McHenry  choked up as he asked for a moment of silence for commissioner Lynch-  we lost a good friend and colleague in Kevin. Honor and privilege to serve with him. Good team- made good decisions for the future of this county and couldn’t have done it without Kevin. Hard to look over and see that seat empty. Asked that we keep Joey and Mike and the entire Lynch family in our prayers.
