Sorry about the update with nothing in it - this should be better:
Follow this link for the June 1st Meeting Packet which includes:
KEY ITEMS ON TONIGHT'S AGENDA (Something for everyone)!
12. Proposed Polk County Sign Ordinance - changing allowable sign size from a maximum of 16 sq ft to 60 sq ft (seems a little large don't you think?)
13. Reappraisal of Real Property in 2017 (yup - reappraisal time is upon us again)
14. Lake Adger Dredging Study (Altamont Engineering) Review
15. Preliminary Discussion of Future Locations of major County Water Trunk Lines (Odom Engineering)
16. Polk Fresh Foods Financial Update (John Britton)
17. * Polk Fresh Foods Grant Agreement (430,000 to Polk Fresh) and Grant Addendum (an ADDITIONAL $25,000 for expansion). Does anybody know the details on this one? It seems like an awful lot of taxpayer money to support a commercial enterprise start up their business - am I wrong on this??
18. Groundswell International/Grow Food Where People Live Cooperation Agreement (Dawn Jordon)
19. Green Creek Waterline Update (Jeff Walker)
20. Budget Amendments (Sandra Hughes)
21. July-December 2015 Regular BOC mtg schedule for review
Hope some of you can make it. Be sure to arrive early to sign up to speak and let us know how it went!
