interlocal agreement between the Sheriff’s Office and the state Department of Corrections as well as the
purchase of a Kenworth truck chassis and one oil tank distributor.
Commissioner Fund seconded.
Motion passed 2-0.
Eric Eisenberg discussed the county’s levy certification process, through which the Clerk of the Board
and the Assessor’s Levy and Audit Clerk Sandie Williams coordinated efforts to assure all documents
were shared with the two offices.
Eric and Dianne Dorey discussed the Nov. 30 deadline for taxing districts’ levy certification, which makes
it impossible for the Board of County Commissioners to meet the Nov. 30 for the commissioners to
certify the levy.

behind its informal levy certification process.
