REMARKS
County Commissioner Mitchell expressed appreciation for this term on the board and for the
staff.
Chairman Sloan made some remarks about his term on the board. He said he would not miss being
away from his famiiy and the late meetings, and other things, but he would miss the opportunity to
think he was having an input into what is going on. He said he had predicted that he would not
serve but one term, one reason being the time constraint. He pointed out that it would be harder
and harder in the future to get people in business to serve on the board because of the decisions
that have to be made. He challenged those who were coming into office to be sure they heard those
who don't have anything to say. Chairman Sloan said he had received the highest recognition that a
county could bestow upon a citizen and that is to be chairman of the board of county commissioners.
He challenged the next chairman to try to move forward.
RECESS: Chairman Sloan recessed the meeting at 9:45 a.m. until 11:00 a.m., when the new board
would be organized after their swearing-in ceremony at 10:30 a.m.
