Not all topics on the agenda of the County Commission meeting Saturday were reviewed. For the second time in the last two months the meeting was recessed.Woodbury Mayor Andy Duggin addressed the commissioners to reconsider their decision to not to pay the tipping fees for household trash collected from the county’s fifth district. As Duggin reviewed the plan he was meet with hostility from some commissioners. The current decision from the county places them in violation of state statues. After some discussion the commissioners voted to move the request to the county’s solid waste committee by a vote of 7-2. However, at that point in the meeting no solid waste committee had been approved.
Fred Howell of the Industrial Development Board informed the commissioners the IDB will be needing office space in a few months. The commissioners moved review of that request to committee. The Commissions did approve use of County Courthouse for meetings of the Industrial Development Board.
Ralph Harvey addressed the commissioners to request reconsideration of the distance ordinance on businesses selling beer. After much discussion, commissioners voted to keep the current distance in place.
Many of the department head reports were not heard due to the recess of the meeting and many in attendance had a conflict with the re-scheduling of the end of the meeting.
