2. APPOINTMENTS:

Curt Glaser, Ideal Real Estate and/or Blackwolf Investments Co., LLC, wanted to clarify the letter from Mr. Shepack, County Attorney, stipulating the terms for his purchase of county property. In the letter it stated that the "buyer would pay all the special assessments for 2008 and thereafter". However, he would like to have the specials pro-rated for 2008, as he was not the owner of the property for the past nine months. The Commissioners agreed that the specials could be pro-rated to the actual date of closing.

Dave Koralek, on behalf of the veteran organizations, discussed the landscaping by the veteran's monument that needed some work. The Commissioners had called him last week and suggested he look at it as the grass had almost taken over the plants. Mr. Koralek did not have any objections to the "creeper" scrubs being removed and replacing them with rock. The veterans will take out the scrubs and the county will purchase the rock and see that it is put down.
