Public commenters raise Vernon Manor governance and recall presidential visit staging
Summary
During Audience to Visitors, Lonnie Muller cited ss. 46.18 on Vernon Manor trustees' duties, David Eggen presented photos of President Biden's recent visit and said his farm was used for staging, and Supervisor Mary Henry expressed support for law enforcement and Emergency Management.
During the meeting’s public comment period, several speakers addressed separate topics: governance at Vernon Manor, a local farm’s role in a presidential visit, and support for law enforcement and emergency management.
Lonnie Muller spoke about duties of the Vernon Manor Board of Trustees and cited ss. 46.18 as the statute assigning responsibility to the Trustees. David Eggen presented pictures from a recent visit by President Biden and said his farm was used to stage parts of the visit’s setup and perimeter; Eggen also offered his services, saying he had offered to be Secretary of Agriculture and/or head of the Secret Service. Mary Henry (Supervisor) clarified that the County is appreciative of and supportive of law enforcement and the Emergency Management Department amid recent discussion about a proposed Emergency Management building.
The minutes record these remarks under Audience to Visitors but show no formal action tied to them; Lonnie Muller’s statutory citation and Eggen’s photos were recorded as public comments. The board did not take specific votes on Vernon Manor governance or the presidential visit during the meeting.
