Public comment:
Rose Martin, Bob Varney, Lavonne Rook from the Food Bank and Marcy Brookie and Amanda Brown with Area II Council on Aging were present to talk to the Commissioners about the Food Bank. They asked the Commissioners if there was a way to get funding for a paid position to work the Food Bank? There is a need to have it open more than just the 2 days it is open now. There is a lot of paper work with the commodity contract and ordering. The Commissioners will look into the budget and also call Snowy Mountain Development to see if there are any grants.
