Sue Morgan asked for clarity on the Murray City Sewer loan process. Sandy said they don’t pay interest on the loan except for what is drawn down. Sue commented interest rates are extremely high.

Sue Morgan said the meeting with Diane Sargent should have been a public meeting and asked if it was advertised in the newspaper and recorded. Jeff said it was a public meeting and it was advertised but it was not recorded. Jeff said Diane keeps notes and minutes of the Investment Advisory Council Meeting. He stated there was nothing illegal about. Sue said she was just asking because she was not aware of the meeting. Jeff said he appreciated her asking but stated they abide by the Sunshine Laws. Sue Morgan commented that Jeff has a problem with women. Jeff said no, you have a problem with trust.

Sue Morgan commented that when she was here Tuesday (June 12) it concerned her that Tracy Shoults spoke up during the meeting and was told she was out of order. Sue said it was unkind. Jeff said he thought about it and it was a knee-jerk response. Jeff said unless an individual is recognized, they will not speak unless they state their name. Jeff said from now on hands will go up, names will be stated or opinions won’t be heard.

Beth Lanning asked if it would be helpful to put a note on the door. Jeff requested the clerk put on the agenda if you wish to speak or ask question please raise your hand and state your name.

Sue commented that Jeff has been very unkind to her over the years and is mean-spirited towards her. Jeff said we do everything we can to abide by the law. Jeff also apologized for coming across mean-spirited.

Sandy commented they have worked over the years to make no mistakes.

Beth said she was concerned because she wasn’t aware of the meeting either. Sandy said the Investment Advisory Council is made up of the Treasurer, President and Vice President of the Board of Commissioners. Jeff said they have this meeting once a quarter.
