Taxes discussion about divided lots. Place a minimum on them. If there are 3 divided lots and 2 under 25.00, make though 2 lots 25.00 each bringing them up to a minimum.

Portfolio discussion continues: Taxes, assessments and negative talk Local States attorney inherited a case and lost it. Commissioners give encouragement.

Discussion on all the ways the County taxes can be paid. Credit Cards, online payment, monthly payment and more. All the processing fees are paid by the tax payers but they are available.

Venting about the limits placed on the county for tax resources. How are they suppose to lower the tax with the state programs and cope with it? (I thought the state programs lowered taxes through sif funds and legacy fund. There should not be any coping to deal with?)

Discussion of lobbying local legislatures to make the changes through law that they cannot make now. Dan will email the County Associations their wants.

Changes such as 1 sheriff for 5 counties and 1 States Attorney elected position changed to appointed because what do the people really know? (The States Attorney is an elected position due to the constitution. Because they slipped Auditor through without following the Century code of 60% ballot vote, they think they can do it again or get legislators to do so.)

Talk about assessments again. Comments about people cheating on paying taxes. Farmers have a million dollar house and don't pay. Coffee Talk, how is that fair? (A former commissioner and some of these commissioners called this a grey area when a commissioner was living in the wrong district that he was sitting chair for before. Funny now they interpret it as cheating for the farmers which is actual law right now. So, grey areas are ok for them but following the law advantage are not for the people?)

Stan suggested moving meeting back to Dan's office. (This will prevent some people from coming because of no seating available.) They said they can move to the courtroom if more people come. Another Commissioner said he liked it better in the KTL building.

Road report continues: Vangard brought up again towards end. Lobby the legislators to bring back tighter patrol on the roads. Commissioner tells the Herald Press to not print that he feels they should have the right to not blade bad roads because he does not want to look like a bad guy.

Some roads discussed have big rocks like the Harvey dump road. These kinds of roads ruin the blades at a high cost. They want townships to remove them at their cost.

Other roads were also mentioned like east of the Monte Knutson place and so forth.

Portfolio change on the team of Commissioners open for discussion. Vanguard was brought up again for discussion.

Ag taxes: "Pay your Dam taxes"

Road Report activities and plans.

Commissioners talk about taxing Farmers for selling products and raising property value with Vanguard.

Property assessed for taxes continues with Lori report. Abatements have a negative effect on county balance. Comments of County Commissioners having to fix issues afterwards. Auditor Stress tax sales.

**Comment of Nuisance for the department to receive calls on how to apply for Primary residence state tax reductions and more made by commissioner. Ignorance of the people. Lori was very professional about how she spoke of the public.

Sorry to say, the rest of the room seem angry with serving the public. Road report from Brent begins.
