Opt out discussion
The board continued to
discuss opting out.

the need for additional
revenue to repair the
roads as with the rising

projects have been put

approached to raise
license plate fees to
help raise revenue, this
has not happened. Until
the state changes the
method of allowing local
jurisdictions to
determine the taxation
needed for their own
area, opt out is an
avenue to be
implemented.

by Ustad to enter
executive session at
