9:00  Civil county attorney Jacque Papez met with the commissioners to update them on county matters.  A question was posed by the Crowley law firm as to whether the county has a public administrator; no, the county does not at this time.  The commissioners also requested Jacque to review a personnel matter regarding funeral leave for a salaried, probationary employee.

9:10  The commissioners closed the public meeting to discuss litigation strategy.

9:15  The commissioners opened the meeting to the public.  Discussed the availability of the Wells Fargo drive-in building and what the process would be if the commissioners decide to make an offer and at what purchase price.  Jacque said there could be the possibility of grant funding if the purchase of an additional building created additional jobs.  Discussed a reasonable offer, purposes of the building, parking, and comparable properties.

Discussed the East Rosebud Road issue and the need for proper easements; Jacque reviewed one easement submitted to the commissioners but she advised it had conflicting restrictions and would need to be revised before the commissioners could accept it.

Jacque informed the commissioners that the Supreme Court upheld Judge Jones’ decision regarding the Silvertip zoning petition.  The plaintiffs would need to re-petition their request for a special zoning district.
