ATTENDEES/COMMENTS:
**Ryan Carpe w/Daily Advocate:
Had a question regarding the transfer of roadway from ODOT to County. Was wondering why the importance of
transfer? Commissioner Stegall,
Delaplane & Rhoades each spoke regarding the transfer of roadway stating
basically for growing of our economy by extending the Airport’s runway so
larger jets can fly in and out for various local companies. (Conversation can be heard on MP3
File/042213)
**Alex Mikos w/TIGER Radio:
Had a question regarding the transportation charges that are paid to
various vendors on expense requests? The
Commissioners explained that you are entitled to receive money for travel but
explained the Commission Board hardly ever charges the County for
transportation/mileage expenses. They
explained that it helps the County not requesting a refund and feel it is part
of their jobs to travel. They explained
that they might look at the situation and start charging back mileage since
other Elected Officials do.
