Public Input or Comments
Eric
Gerber, Oak Harbor, a member of the Oak
Harbor City Council, was interested in
several issues:
Solid Waste interest transferred into
the County’s general fund account, interested
in the subject inasmuch as the
same issue has come up at the City Council and citizens have inquired how that
works. He is aware with some of the
legalities and court cases involved, and just asked that in the future if there
is further information that be passed on to him.
Parks Department Budget Workshop. When
looking at parks staff, it has
always been a good bang for the dollar
on seasonal or part time
employees, but generally the first thing cut in order to not lay off full time
employees. If times are very tough he
encouraged that the Board think of it as a dollar for dollar i.e. the amount of
work out of a particular individual,
and take a good look at the part time staff.
Mr. Gerber offered his services in the
future as a volunteer to serve on any committees or boards in areas where his
experience or interests match the
opening.
The
Commissioners advised that there was a
meeting scheduled May 24th in Olympia to discuss the Attorney General’s informal response to a Senator on the interest issue and more
fully explore the Attorney General’s opinion and whether or not it refers to
interest earned on any special fund or
whether it applies only to gas tax portion of the road fund.
