2009 CCDCC Topics – Jolene/Thelma
We discussed using 2009 to focus on one issue a month.  The first discussion will be a resolution from Mike S recommending a better way to allocate county funds to get us through these hard times.  Other potential topics will be the mining fees, the hospital bond, county bus transportation.  We’ll take suggestions from the group when we meet in March.
On Nov 14 there will be a discussion around the state taking over management of our county mining activities.  We voted unanimously against this proposal with Thelma and Tammy representing us at the meeting.
