Chair closes Carroll County work session, schedules executive session on real estate as committee members voice support for a "full roll back"

Committee members at a Carroll County work session voiced support for a "full roll back" of reserved taxpayer dollars, and the Chair closed the session while scheduling an executive session on Tuesday evening to discuss real estate.

The discussion opened with a committee member arguing that "those taxpayer dollars are sitting there," and saying they were "supportive of the full roll back," language that indicates backing for reversing or limiting a prior spending decision; the transcript did not specify dollar amounts or further details about what "full roll back" would entail. A second committee member briefly signaled agreement.

The Chair then moved to conclude the work session. "This time I'm going to close the work session," the Chair said, and announced, "we will have executive session on Tuesday evening ... for Real Estate purposes following the meeting." The Chair also stated that "everything is on a consent agenda" except one item that was garbled in the transcript and thus not specified.

The Chair said several commissioners would likely want to meet with committee members to develop ideas about how to proceed on the unspecified item. The transcript records no motion, vote, or formal decision on the rollback or on any real estate action during this session.

Next steps: the executive session is scheduled for Tuesday evening for real estate purposes; the transcript does not state whether that session will be open to the public or list any items that will be considered there. Any formal motions, votes, or dollar amounts tied to the rollback or to real estate matters were not recorded in the provided transcript.
