Commissioner Reives seconded the motion. Commissioner Garner made the following statement: "Members of the Board of Commissioners, persons from the Sanford Church of Christ, others present and those who may see or hear of these proceedings. You are entitled to know why I cannot vote to rescind our action of November 17, 1997 concerning tax liability for the Sanford Church of Christ. Nothing would personally please me more than to do as one church member wrote "it would be a simple matter to acknowledge the tax form was lost and to allow the late filing to be retroactive." However, the facts of this case do not allow me to do that.
