BOARD ASSISTANT'S REPORT- Board Assistant Stacey Ruzicka provided the board members with information from Paul Grieger regarding the jail bond issue. She noted the interest rate and that some of the bonds will be paid off 8 years sooner and it will save over 8 million dollars. The levy was left at 3.9 cents and as the dollars are collected the county will be able to do some of our own refunding. The interest rates are so low that the county will be able to pay if off sooner. She also noted information regarding tabling an item. If an item is tabled there would be no set time to take up the matter again. If an item is postponed there is a specific time that it will be addressed. 12.
