Summary

At the Feb. 3 Lincoln County meeting, Val Downing and Cindy Frensko called for changes to open-forum rules, a county ordinance addressing squatters, and audits of the Windy Kitty Community nonprofit and Southwest Health and Human Services' lawsuit.

Val Downing used the open forum to press the board for policy changes and audits. She said the public should be able to "weigh in prior to every vote," called for a financial audit of the Windy Kitty Community nonprofit, and urged the county to consider an ordinance on squatters after describing a case in a neighboring county.

Cindy Frensko said she and Downing are teaching a local class titled "The Making of America" and reiterated opposition to using taxpayer money for Windy Kitty. Frensko also asked that the ongoing Southwest Health and Human Services lawsuit be audited. The board took these as public comments; no formal actions were taken during the open forum.
