4.5 Minute mark Commissioner Wesler – Do you have anything else Connie at this time?
Connie on Wellness grant and other issues. Asks if Commission would like her to try and get another $100,000 advanced back in from the landfill. If you take a look at Mindy's report (yes, this week there is one) scroll down to the bottom and look at advances due. Years ago (1997 – 1998) the Commission advanced the landfill money ($1.2 million) and it is still paying it back to the General Fund.
