County News Round-up

by Tryan Hartill

The packet includes staff reports and other documentation provided to the Board for issues scheduled for discussion at the meeting.
“The commissioners strongly believe that public participation in local government is important. One way to encourage participation is to make available to the public the information that the Board receives in its agenda packet,” County Administrator Scott Derickson said.

A few highlights for 7-12

  • Item E

Creation of a checking account for Transition Residents.

Not really sure what this means, anyone else have any insight?

  • Item OB-A

Appointments to the Fair Board

Anyone know if there is a final list or if we can speak in favor of certain local “GrassRoots” candidates before they are picked?

  • Item WS-A

POA Biodiesel Presentation

This one might be an easy one to hit the Board with an email if you would like to make your opinion heard, or suggest questions that the Board should ask.

  • Item WS-C

Presentation of CIS WebMaps

Not really sure what this is either, but I hope it’s a way that web users can access some of the County maps and property lines. It seems this would save the County some money in the longrun, because they wouldn’t have to show everyone how to use the computers. (And they are very confusing for the novice)

Here is what came up as “CIS” in another County:

What is a Community Information System (CIS)?
A CIS is a single Web site that combines information about a community from a variety of sources. A CIS merges sophisticated information technology with easy-to-use tools, so that everyone from grade school children to service providers to university and medical researchers can benefit.
A CIS can be used for community planning, economic development, research, grant writing, tracking program results, and strategic planning…..

Open Thread Goodness

This post is also doubling as a “County Open Thread”.

A few questions for the rabid keyboard artists…AKA NCO readers…...

What changes can the County make to it’s website that would make it better?

Do you think intervening will have any impact on the local LNG projects?

K. Sellman: Glad to see her go, or do you wish she could stay?

106 Pages!!!!?

Of an olio of junk or is this a real agenda?

And it says “July 12, 2006 Meeting/Work Session?

As it is with ‘The Port’, CCBofC has a work session prior to the regular meeting to preview and predetermine the outcome of issues prior to and without the benefit of spontaneous constituency input and comment?

And then if you want to speak-up in ‘Public Business’ you have to apply to do so?

I say we damned well better start attending these CCBofC meetings in-force and immediately as it seems these people have just absolutely been left to their own devices.

I would also support making a call right now for the formation of a citizen backed, ‘Lower Columbia Government Watch’ to draw public attention to these bureaucracies and panels and force them to be accountable to those whom they serve, the citizens of Clatsop County.

So Patrick…. are you still in the running for a Board spot?

Also, I think we are already the LC Government Watch, but without a title.

And Glenn…

If you read this, I tried to send you a good link, but they keep bouncing back to me…so….Is your email working right?
