  7.  Thousand Trails CUP – We have received no feedback from the community on this.  Need to check on email for Chris Perry and County Planner.
  8. Drive Through Ordinance – Regional Planning Hearing – It was felt that the letter Jacki had written should be sent to go in the record.  There was nothing alarming in the package for the commissioners.  Pam spoke about going to the hearing just to see what they say.
  9. Unfinished/New Business – The new septic monitoring fee was discussed.  Last year there was a meeting at the library about this and about 100 people were present. The fee to residents with septic will be $5 added to their property tax bill. There are about 25,000 septic tanks in the AV.  Residents were worried that this may lead to inspections of our septic systems which may lead to having to do upgrades.
