BoaK r15 P~s~ 519 closing. I would urge you to support the motion. We may not be able to do a thing about it because the Airport Authority is body politic, they can do what they want to. I think the best message that we can send to the people of Lee County is that the County Commissioners are interested in how the development of Lee County goes". Commissioner Dossenbach made the following statement, "I can appreciate what Commissioner Garner is saying, but on the other hand I have very strong reservations about the County Commissioners undermining what the Airport Authority is trying to do. Before such a motion comes before this Board I think it would behoove the Chairlady to maybe appoint a committee to meet with the Airport Authority and see what their side is, what our side is and maybe see if we can come to a common ground. I don't think we know all the details as to what the Authority is trying to do and to go and vote on a motion, not fully understanding what their objective or plans are for the purchase of this land, I don't think we should do that". Commissioner Reives made the following statement, "I personally don't feel comfortable in that I don't recall exactly what the numbers were in terms of what will be required, and I'm not really interested in voting until I've had a chance to refresh my memory or to have something, a document that tells me exactly what type of acreage we're talking about. I do realize that on the one hand we're saying specifically for the airport' I don't know what else goes along with that - I'm just not sure at this time. As for the closure of the road, who's plans are we talking about - where did that come from". Chairperson Matthews appointed Commissioners Dossenbach and Garner to meet with the Airport Authority to try and get some understanding of what will be taking place and report back to the Board. After further discussion, Commissioner Reives moved to table the motion. Upon a vote, the results were as follows: Aye: Dossenbach, Garner, Matthews, Paschal, Reives, Stafford and Wicker Nay: None The Chairperson ruled the motion had been adopted unanimously. The Board considered a compensation increase for Jury Commission members from $5.00 per hour to $10.00 per hour. After some discussion Commissioner Garner moved to pay the Jury Commission $10.00 per hour for work completed in this session and increase to $40.00 per diem, per day, beginning the next session. Upon a vote, the results were as follows: Aye: Dossenbach, Garner, Matthews, Paschal, Reives, Stafford 006 6
