COUNTY BRIEFING
Co. Rep. Lane - reported sales tax revenues were up considerably.
There was a $300,000.00 increase in county revenues as to what
was projected. This is a one shat deal because they received a
$543,000.00 adjustment from the state. They are seeing about 55
percent of the sales activity outside of the city and about 45
percent inside the city. This is reverse to historic levels. The
sales tax not counting the portion �n of the new one percent tax is
up for the year of about 10.3 percent.
Co. Rep. Lane - the County cable t v commission has met and there
will be a request coming to see whether the towns and villages
will renew the authority that was previously given to the cable
commission. Also to to ok at the cable commission to see what they
can do for the towns and and villages. ACC, the towns, village
and city seem to be interested that there will be a cable
commission existing. The FCC is setting up a bureau in Washington
to oversee the rate structure.

Atty Perkins - it is up to the board t� � determine whether or not
• it wants to hold a public hearing. You may find it is not
necessary. Typically the board has required site plan review
where there has been a particular change of a particular project.
For example where a restaurant has changed owners, additions put
on, etc. There is also � a precedent for not holding a hearing
where there are no modifications, but simply a change in
ownership or minor mod i f i cations of a previously approved
project. You can look �k at this either way. You certainly have
authority to held a public hearing or you can to ok at the site
plan application that Henry has given. The site plan review can
make a determination as to how you feel on this if a public
hearing is necessary and you are free to act without prejudice.
The key is site plan review, not necessarily a public hearing. It
is up to the board to make that determination.
