Mrs. Arlyn Nelson, Wright County Commissioner, was present to discuss
a couple of areas of interest that as a Commissioner she feels are important.
Her first concern is with the contracting service for the Sheriff's
Department. She feels that there is not an accurate account for how the
Sheriff's budget is being spent and feels that the Commissioners need
to review the service and accounting system.
The second area of interest that she discussed was the Waste Management
Task Force's Solid Waste Management Plan and what potential outcomes may
evolve from the study. The City asked to be kept informed on the project
and has expressed our interest in becoming involved if possible. Mrs.
Nelson has agreed to forward along information to the City to keep us
in touch with what the County Commission is involved with.
