Supervisor Parker: Just a few things that came in the mail and I didn’t get a chance to get it in the Board packets. One has to do with the 2006 Leadership Summit and the other is just an announcement as it relates to the portion of Weaver and Blanchard. Lastly, we have a vacancy I believe which is within our Planning Commission. I want to make an announcement now if the Board has or know of anyone that maybe interested they can receive and application from the Clerk’s Department and make sure those applications goes to the Manager.

Clerk Montgomery: The only thing that I have is that it’s that time of year again, Elections. So I just wanted to make sure everybody and anyone that is not registered to get registered. There is a deadline and this is a very important Election. I just want all of the citizens to be ready and I want everyone to get out a vote.

Trustee Martin: First of all, to you Mr. Manager. When can we expect a new modified report coming from the Community Center as it relates to how many people use the exercise room and the on going update on the equipment and number of rental. When can we expect that after you hire the Director? Just want to know.

Chief Booker – interesting comment by saying there is more people than 10,000 in Buena Vista. I’ve always felt that we have more than 10,000 people. So I’m wondering is there any way that we can find out just about exactly how many people that resides in Buena Vista? Is there any way to find out how many people we got?

Mr. Williams: I just want to update the Board that we have five (5) 198 Tax Abatements Request coming in October and we will probably have a special meeting to discuss a possible Tax Abatement Policy as well as the discussing the Budget process at the beginning of October that will be forthcoming.

ADJOURNMENT: Motioned by Montgomery second by Carter to adjourn the meeting at 8:00 p.m. Motion carried unanimously.
