Tom Gentile, Jefferson County commissioner, was guest speaker. He was introduced by Freeland, public affairs chairman. Gentile stated his job gives him exposure and the opportunity to get involved with many things, such as working with other elected officials. Some of the projects discussed were the Crestview easement project, Pottery Addition project and the southern end of the county water project. Privatization versus regionalization was brought out, and he told members about the new animal shelter. Commissioners are working with the tightest budget ever in this depressed economic time, due to loss of income, he noted. A question and answer period followed.
