resolution for an increased allocation of beds on the special session.

to the Bluff Service Area’s ideas on the sewer system.

application was made by Commissioner Kenneth Maryboy.  Commissioner Bruce Adams seconded the 
motion.  None opposed.  Commissioner Bruce Adams declared the motion carried.  Commissioner

Rick reported that there is a potential solution to the Mexican Hat Fire Station utility problem.  He 
stated that a land owner was not willing to grant an easement to the county but there may be an 
alternative route and land owners bordering the property that are willing to grant the needed 
easement.
