Residents ask about Dollar General realignment, liability waivers and Planning Commission process
Summary
During public comment, residents asked the board for updates on a Dollar General realignment project (ODOT-approved plan, work hoped in spring), sought information about liability-waiver legislation for guides and outfitters, and asked about Planning Commission selection procedures.
Several members of the public addressed the board during the Feb. 4 public comment period on local projects and proposed state legislation.
Erika Polmar asked for an update on the Dollar General realignment project; Commissioner John Hillock said ODOT had approved a plan but minor adjustments might be made to base rock size and that "Hopefully work will begin in Spring." Rita McCreesh asked Commissioner Collier what she had heard regarding liability waivers for guides and outfitters; Collier said Senator McLain is working on the bill and she would follow up. Mike Eng asked about the Planning Commission selection process; Commissioner Hayward described the plan to narrow the applicant pool and conduct interviews, with counsel advising whether interviews should be public or held in executive session. Roger Averbeck thanked Commissioner Collier for meeting with legislators and suggested connecting with House District 28 Representative Dacia Grayber.
Why it matters: public-comment questions highlight ongoing local projects and state legislation that may affect guides, outfitters and transportation in the county; the board pledged to follow up on the inquiries.
