BUSINESS ITEMS
1.Discuss Resolution to Authorize the Sale of Vacant County Land and Assign Proceeds to

Chairman Peavey moved agenda item 4, information regarding the sale of vacant county
land and assign proceeds for capitol projects up on the agenda. Pat Thompson began the
discussion by giving an overview of the purpose of the discussion. He detailed the

explanation of what the proceeds would be used for. Fred Johnson then gave further
details supporting the demolition of the existing HHS building and short term and long

we do business. Casey Swetlik followed up by giving an overview of the current 911
