BOARD
OF SUPERVISORS’ COMMENTS
Mrs. O’Bannon reiterated concerns she stated at
the previous Board meeting regarding the financial practice that was followed
by the County in allocating funds for the Memorial Day parade. She hopes in the future when a request is
made to the County to fund a project that the Board will first ask to see the project
budget and that all Board members will know about the transaction before the
funds are disbursed.
Mr. Donati noted that
Mr. Thornton had recent surgery and that it was nice to have him back.
Mr. Glover recognized Julian Williams from Boy
Scout Troop 732, sponsored by St. Peter’s Baptist Church,
