Summary

At the Feb. 5 committee meeting, resident Shane Jenkins urged the board not to repeat a previously defeated millage and said election costs could have funded roads; Stan Shook later said he supported a new building and changes to the road-funding system. No motions or votes on millage were recorded.

Resident Shane Jenkins used public comment to caution the board against repeating a road millage that had been voted down previously, saying the election expense could have been applied directly to roads and that the size of millage requests can be difficult for residents. The minutes record Jenkins’ concern but do not show a formal response or board action on repeating a millage proposal.

Later in the meeting Stan Shook spoke in favor of a new building and argued there needs to be a change in the system that affects road funding. Chair Kohn Fisher noted receipt of a memo about the Chamber dinner scheduled for April 22, 2025, and then adjourned the meeting at 6:46 PM. The minutes do not record any motions or votes related to millage or the building at this session.
