Meeting Highlights:
Commissioners and Nick Bates, Fairgrounds Manager, the situation with the High School Rodeo. They reserved a number of spaces in the RV park, and the spaces were used. However, the Rodeo’s representative said they weren’t reimbursed for many of the spaces, and so can’t pay the Fairgrounds. The Commissioners will insist the bill is paid, and in the future, groups who ask the Fairgrounds to reserve spaces in the RV will know they’re expected to pay for all the spaces.
Commissioners and members of the Housing Coalition hold a long discussion about affordable housing and homelessness in the County
Commissioners adjourn for lunch at 12:40.
Commissioners hear an update on the work of Westeast Design Group concerning their work on housing in the county.
Commissioners adjourn for the day at 2:55.
