Karen Albert asked for the public’s help in notifying the authorities if you see any suspicious activity in the area of the a county worksite during off-hours.

And, Karen Albert reported on the status of two railroad bridges.

In other business, Supervisor Charla Schmid noted Montgomery County received an award last week. She deferred to Auditor Jill Ozuna to explain what the award was and what it means for the County.

The County received an actual pie as part of the award. The Supervisors then discussed having their regular meetings available (for archive purposes) on YouTube. Jill Ozuna explained…

The Board was not too thrilled with the idea of having their meetings being on the web for what Board Chair Mike Olson said could be “an eternity.” Some of their concerns were with regard to adding another layer of technology to the County’s IT Department, and security. There being no motion to either approve or disapprove of having their meetings archived on YouTube, the matter died for lack of action.
