Discussion was held on the two proposed operations one is a no spray operation just do the inspections and make sure that the county is in compliance and the other would be to reduce the amount of spraying that is done. Lancaster distributed information on the options. Schuppan stated that he is getting some information on the roadside spraying from Casey Sherlock. The cast af the department is more than the revenue received if it were reduced to a slim spraying operation it would be Mr. Schultz and a part time sprayer. He has the Howard County contract but he could also do some spraying. A previaus employee created his own company so the county lost some of their custam�rs.
