The County Commissioners met on March 8, 2016 for their regularly scheduled meeting with Commissioner Wood absent.
The Commissioners approved the minutes of the prior meeting, the March 2016 payroll and the official reports. There was discussion concerning the outstanding bills because there are some issues with the mileage reports. Some County employees are not recording amounts accurately and it is skewing the fuel/mileage causing some of the vehicles to report fuel estimates at 50-60 mpg.

I came close to getting punched out at Walmart last Sunday. Why? Because I gave the Gospel to a cashier while purchasing my items in line.
