09/20/2007: "CC Will Hold "Public Meeting" on Stormwater Funding"

The San Juan County Council has taken County Administrator Pete Rose’s advice, and will hold a public meeting October 2 to decide if they wish to take a formal position on the stormwater funding referendum . The referendum will allow citizens to vote n the next election on the existing funding ordinance: should it be rejected, or allowed to continue as is.

Based on comments made by the Council, it is expected that after the meeting they may also take action to “ “get the facts out” on stormwater funding.

State law allows the County Council to take a position on a state or local referendum or initiative, provided that it is done after a public meeting which is open to input from all interested parties.

The meeting will begin at 10:15 a.m. on October 2 in the Council Chambers at the Courthouse. The public is encouraged to attend and participate.
