I
Motion carries unanimously.
1.
Report from the Marshal regarding a plan for the removal of junk cars.
(Deferred from August 26 Public Safety)
Marshal: Our plan is to address every complaint as quickly as we ;:>ossibly can.
With the best possible case scenario being the removal of the car or the property
being brought into compliance within three days. Many times the violator may
request additional time and if we believe that individual is going to make a
bonifed effort sometimes those complaints take longer to address. There is also
the issue of available resources necessary to complete these in a timely manner.
We have 52 cases that have already been cleared. Twenty of them resulted in the
vehicle being towed. The majority of them, the property owner removed one or
more of the vehicles from their property to bring that property into compliance.
Mr. Williams: I was looking for a plan from the Marshal's Department on how we
could resolve this.
After some discussion,
I
Mr. Kolb: I think I understand what you're looking for. If you would refer this
back to me, I'll work with the Marshal's Department and try and come back to
you with an answer to your request.

Discussion of drug seized funds from the Sheriff's Department. (Requested
by Commissioner Williams)
Mr. Williams: I did receive a report from the Sheriff's Dept. I would like to get
our Finance Director to get this Committee some information on the funds that we
have.
Mr. Beard: Why don't we ask the Administrator to work with the Sheriff's Dept
and bring back a report from the and present it at our next meeting. They would
then be notified as to exactly what we want.
Mr. Williams: I would like to get a report from the last two years on the
money that came in and the expenditures that this money was spent on and
the balance.
Mr. Beard: I would like to put that in the form of a motion that they provide
the information requested at our next meeting.
Mr. Boyles: Second.
Motion carries unanimously.
