Super District 10. Mr. Bowdon: James Bowdon 2942 Shelby Dr. Augusta. Mr. Sherman: The L&I Dept. and the Sheriffs Office have reviewed this and we're recommending that this not be approved that it be denied. (No objectors) Sgt. Greg Smith, Vice Division: We're requesting that this application be denied because as part of the application process the applicant is required to list all arrest regardless of the outcome or disposition and he failed to do that. He did list two DUI's and two previous simple possessions of marijuana. He failed to list I a felony drug arrest .from last year as well as a previous DUI arrest and a I misdeamnor family violence simple battery. To be fair to him the drug arrest charge was dropped due to a technicality with the search warrant. There was never any dispute about the fact that the drugs were found in his residence. For those reasons we're requesting that this application be denied. Mr. Bowdon: The drugs belonged to my teenage son and the simple battery that occurred was between him and I. He is a child out of control. He was on probation for these charges. For the charges in the past, I was a young man and I am guilty of that. Other than the two charges that he mentioned it's probably been fifteen to twenty years since I've had anything on my record. I wish you'd at least give me a chance. Mr. Wall: Because of failure to report all arrest regardless of the outcome as required by the applicant I recommend this be denied. Mr. Kuhlke: On the recommendation of the Sheriff's Office and the County Attorney I m.ove we deny. Mr. Colclough: Second. Motion carried unanimously I 6.

(Requested by Commissioner Boyles) Mr. Boyles: I requested this be placed on the agenda because Mr. Davidson would like this to be settled. I Mr. Jack Long; Attomey: Mr. Davidson is trying to sell this property for a substantial amount more than the appraised value of $120,000. We believe this is coming up now because this property has been identified as property to be acquired by Greenspace. We would ask that the Commission purchase the property at the appraised value of $120,000. I would like to point out that for a number of years the county got the use of the property while working on Raes Creek it basically became a parking lot for county vehicles or contract vehicles. In essence it was used for a number of years any way. We're now at the stage that if the county is going to buy the property we would ask the county to buy it now. Mr. Wall: The Committee has already looked at this property and Rocky Creek is now priority for spending Greenspace monies. This property met four out of the nine criteria. . Mr. Kuhlke: I move we forward this on to the full Commission with no recommendation. Mr. Colclough: Second. I I Motion carried unanimously. ADJOURNMENT: With no further business to discuss the meeting was adjourned. Lena J.
