The snowflake is almost weightless when it forms and later as it falls. Yet, with the collection of billions of these delicate snowflakes that are born and fall and if those billions of flakes are driven by gale winds that can blow off Lake Michigan, a blizzard is what is created. When the gale winds blow so fierce and so strong, the assembling blizzard alters the perceptible world into one that is absolute white. This is a world with few other colors or shading that would allow anyone to discern the environment. If the blizzard arrives during daylight hours, an idle pedestrian could be persuaded that they are in a total world of winter light. The time of the year now is near winter that officially arrives on December 21. That date is the winter equinox when the hours of sunlight are at their shortest and from that date onward, the hours of sunlight gradually increase. The exact moment of winters arrival in 2014 is at 6:03 p.m. Central Standard Time (CST). As the month of November, 2014 was born and as the month matured and then expired, northern Illinois residents got to know the impending winter in a very personal manner. But winter light arrived in a very memorable manner in 1967 with the blizzard of January 25 and January 26. The amount of snow that fell during that two-day period began at 5:02 a.m., January 25 and ended at 10:10 a.m., January 26 and totaled more than 23 inches. That snowfall marks the singular largest amount of snow to fall in Chicago from one storm, ever. The measurable snow depth depended upon location. The photograph shown here appeared in the Chicago Tribune and was shot showing Lake Shore Drive. The day before the storm, on January 24, the high temperature was a balmy 65 Fahrenheit. The sun shown that day and there were breezes from the southwest where the warm winds and temperatures often arrive in Chicago. However, by late that day and the early evening, the winds shifted to the west northwest and the storm that was sweeping across the Great Planes from Canada and the arctic met with the warm moist wind from the southwest. By the late morning the Chicago neighborhood streets had become parking lots as hundreds of cars were bogged down by the wind driven snow that fell at a startling rate. It was noted that day that snow fell during the blizzard ranging from one inch per hour to as much as three inches per hours occurred at times and at certain sites in the city and the suburban area. The huge storm engulfed the city from Lake Michigan west to the collar counties of DeKalb, Boone, Winnebago and Will. The storm also covered from southern Wisconsin and south to the far suburbs outside the city. The snow fell so deep at some sites, there were reports of drifts 10 feet deep at Midway Airport. By noon on January 25 Midway Airport was closed and early into the afternoon, O Hare Field was closed leaving thousands of travelers stranded at the airports with nowhere to go. Many remained there for most of the weekend as they waited for runways to be cleared, then for the planes to be prepared and to find seats on the flights that were overbooked because of the two-day airport closure. Early on Thursday schools across the city and the northern Illinois region were closed. The toughest element of that decision was to decide how to return children to their homes in safety with the blizzard in full force blowing down. Businesses, factories, retail stores, restaurants and diners; all these conveniences and businesses ceased operation by Thursday afternoon. Their closure sustained through the night and most of the city did not reopen until late Friday afternoon when the furry of the storm had abated to the east. Some ventured out Friday night but activity in the city did not begin to reach normal until Saturday, January 27. A more recent blizzard event came to Chicago on February 2, 2011 when 20.2 inches of snow fell. That blizzard was particularly tough on the east side of the city as the storm assembled and swept across Lake Michigan blowing with gale-force winds from the east, northeast. Lake Shore Drive became a dangerous parking lot as vehicles became bogged down with the intensity of the storm. The storm and winds became so strong cars were marooned for hours and their gas levels ran low with temperatures in the low teens by that night. The Chicago Fire Department imposed emergency measures and instead using 4-wheel drive vehicles, they commandeered snowmobiles and drove over drifts, across sidewalks, and maneuvered between cars and trucks to find drivers in their cars to move them to warmth and to safety. There is no accurate number of the people that were saved but the rescue effort ran through the night and into the next day. The task of removing the abandoned cars ran over the following week before Lake Shore Drive was cleared of snow and cars on a lane-by-lane effort. Most of everyone in northern Illinois, including Belvidere, pray that there will not be a storm coming in this winter to rival the blizzards of January 1967 or February Winter light can arrive as an illusion or a false predictor of better safer times ahead. Winter light can come and be so bright as to blind those that can be caught in a snowstorm or a blizzard. The winter light can also illuminate the landscape to allow the observer to see without haze, the clarity of the land after the storm has blown away and the observer can see what has survived. Some might look at the photographs shown here and realize what they did survive in January 1967 that was no small winter light. The Journal wants to recognize the Chicago Tribune, January 26, 1967 where the photograph of Lake Shore Drive after the storm was first published and the National Weather Service for providing the photograph shown here. We also want to recognize a wide range of internet news services for providing information and statistics of the continued on page...2

ZBA Hearing Officer Denied at Meeting By Ronnie Thompson Though the Boone County Board approved an amendment allowing for the construction of Wind Energy Conversion Systems (WECS), the fallout of that decision is still coming to seed in the public arena. One of the issues to come out of the decision asks how to handle future meetings where wind energy could cause contention amongst the citizens of Boone County. Most recently, the possible appointment of a Zoning Hearing Officer (ZHO) has sparked debate. During the November 25th meeting of the Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA), the Board voted against a text amendment that would establish the ZHO to preside over future wind energy hearings. Both sides of the wind energy issue were present to make their case. Tuesday s debate was of a similar nature as the WECS debates of the past, and it carried with it the shadows of past divisions and emotions on both sides. It was debated as a question between county residents losing a voice against what county resident Deb Doetch called running a tighter ship during the proceedings regarding the wind energy issue. In a line of questioning directed at the Board, county resident Julie Newhouse raised concerns that hiring an outside lawyer to control meetings could take away the voice of the people. In her official testimony she asked the Board if the citizens of Boone County want to be heard by five independent peers or would the citizens want to be heard by those who could care less about Boone County... ZBA associate planner Gina DelRose was present and acting as representative of the amendment, defended the item by claiming that a hearing officer out of county would be less likely to have an issue with bias. She also said that it can be hard for those on the Board to tell their neighbors when the evidence they are presenting is either irrelevant or inadmissible. According to the text amendment, the ZHO would be strictly in place to regulate the legal aspects of the meeting such as the giving of evidence or sworn testimony before the board. Boone County state s attorney Michelle Courier added that nothing will change, you will still be making the final decision it is just making it more efficient. One ZBA member, Joan Krumm, called the amendment the nastiest thing to happen to this Board. She also indicated that she was insulted at the insinuation that the ZBA cannot run its meetings. When asked why they thought the Board needed the ZHO to control the hearings, Gina cited the many occasions when members of the audience had spoken out of turn, interrupted testimony, and boo d speakers when they gave evidence. Though Joan said she remembered no booing or outbursts, Deb Doetch corroborated the history, saying that she got boo d, yelled at, and had fists shaken at her during her previous testimony. She also expressed her feeling that the Board s hearing of evidence was biased during the WECS meetings. In their final vote, the Board was unanimous in voting not to recommend the text amendment. ZBA member Brain VanLaar said, while he was impressed with how meetings in Lee County ran with a ZHO, the Board can have order without a hearing officer. Tony Sorvino, chairman of the ZBA, admitted that the Board has room for improvement in how it handles hearings, but he did not think a ZHO was necessary.

County Granted Injunctive Relief By James Middleton Since 2005, Plote Construction, Inc. has been involved in one form of litigation or another with Boone County. This is not to say that legal matters have occupied a significant allotment of legislative and judicial time. But, it is to say that Plote Construction came to Boone County with a goal that they obtained and their involvement with the county has required ongoing management by the Boone County Board and the Boone County state s attorney Michelle Courier. Of late, a lawsuit was filed by Ms. Courier on behalf of Boone County seeking a temporary restraining order to require Plote to comply with the elements of their contract and the elements of the special use permit. On November 24, the honorable Judge C. Robert Tobin III handed down a written decision in the matter of County of Boone v. Plote Construction, Inc. et al. Judge Tobin s decision denied a defense motion for dismissal of the lawsuit and he granted a temporary restraining order over Plote because of their violation of a contract with the county. The dispute that led to the lawsuit resulted from Plote allegedly operating their gravel extraction operation in rural Flora Township after the hours of operation that they had previously agreed. Judge Tobin s written decision also denied Plote s request that they should have extended hours of operation because Quality Aggregates enjoys extended hours of operation as part of an agreement with Boone County. Ms. Courier reasoned that the environment where Quality Aggregate operates is very different than the site operated by Plote. The extended hours request relates to a position advanced by Plote that is called Most Favored Nation (MFN) status that they believed should be granted to them to operate in a similar manner as does Quality Aggregate. The MFN status was included in the original agreement between Plote and Boone County in 2005 but after the special use zoning was granted to Plote to continue their operation and when a new contract was written, the MFN reference was not included. Judge Tobin opened his Opinion by recounting the history of the involvement between Plote and Boone County. The involvement dates back to 2005 when Plote filed a lawsuit naming Boone County and alleging that zoning changes made to the county zoning code were unconstitutional. The result of the lawsuit was for the then Boone County state s attorney, James Hursh, to negotiate a settlement to the lawsuit. Plote wanted to reopen property that they held in rural Flora Township as a quarry. The essence of the settlement between the parties, according to Judge Tobin s analysis, They reached a settlement agreement that, in general terms, bound the County to issue a special use permit to Defendant s for the use of the property as a quarry. The county could impose their ordinances to govern the special use that would be extended for a five-year term and to allow for a renewal process. The initial agreement and special use process was approved by the Boone County Board and that agreement included the MFN language that allowed Plote to operate the quarry on days and at times comparable to the agreement with Quality Aggregate. During the contract renewal process, Plote sought to retain the MFN provision and this matter was debated at the County Board level. However, the MFN reference was not included in the new agreement and, instead, the County imposed specific hours and days of operation. What resulted were a number of resident complaints from those that reside in close proximity to the quarry indicating that Plote was operating in violation of the renewed Broiled Haddock, Broiled Cod or Shrimp Dinner $14.99 *no other discounts apply agreement. On August 12, 2014, the Boone County senior building inspector, Drew Bliss, found that Plote was operating outside the parameters of the revised agreement. Plote had never applied for modification of the terms of the revised agreement. Judge Tobin also wrote, Therefore, on August 12, 2014, Defendant s were operating their quarry outside the hours of operation allowed for under their special use permit but within the continued on page 6 $1 OFF Medium Shake or Medium Concrete Mixer Must present ad.

3 In Our 19th Year The Boone County Journal Dec.5th., Scripted Reality Those that work in the electronic media know that almost every word that is said and every image seen on Cable or Broadcast TV results from a written script. Even ad-libs that flow from the lips of news anchors and talk show hosts were written before the camera lens was opened. One of the earliest late night talk show hosts, Jack Paar, offered a classic introduction for Jayne Mansfield, Now here they are; Jayne Mansfield. This ad-lib introduction was written by Dick Cavett. Such is the case today even with cable news. Anchor personnel that read the evening news are also skilled in their ability to ad-lib or to fill in dead air. They know where the camera is, they understand the focus of the event and they remember to producers intent. Individual comments or asides from on-scene reporters and co-anchors occur but the thrust of the event coverage is scripted and known long before he program hits the air. Such was the case with the Ferguson, Missouri Riots. That event shown last week was an example of a scripted reality show. On every cable outlet and even local TV in Chicago, the on-scene reporters partitioned their space where they and their crew stood to deliver the same story. Those unfamiliar with how a remote events are produced on modern cable TV news must understand that a crew is needed to get the news to a home TV set. Plans must be set for a seamless execution. A satellite truck is needed with a dish the size of Poplar Grove. Sound men armed with boom microphones, camera men with portable video cameras, reporters, producers, on-scene technicians and gofers and others to handle the unexpected must be present to give the appearance of spontaneity to extend the myth that a live event is being shown. Viewers that tuned in last week watched a scripted event that was designed to sustain the myth and illusion of reality. It is certain that many people that watched knew what to expect. For days leading to announcement of the Monday grand jury decision, the nation had been prepared for the riots that resulted. Wolf Blitzer promised that CNN reporters would be in Ferguson to report the destruction. Viewers tuned in expecting to see fires, they wanted to see people jumping into stores through broken windows and escaping while they carried armloads of merchandise. The rioters became actors performing according to a script because the aftermath of the grand jury decision was foretold. But the grand jury decision was irrelevant; rioting was the message that was delivered by a complicit news media. Yet, do those that watched the charade performed in Ferguson, Missouri understand that they were played like a Steinway Grand Piano by the cable news media? Those that held rapt interest gaping at the production would not imagine that they exhibited a diminished perception of the event by relying on the premeditation of the electronic media that created a wholly artificial reality. The MIT economics professor, Jonathan Gruber, must have been correct when he insulted the intellectual ability of American voters because they could not understand the complex and nontransparent elements of the National Affordable Health Care Act. A similar criticism could be leveled at TV viewers that endured the fabrications in Ferguson, Missouri. The former director of the Federal Communications Commission in the John Kennedy Administration, Newton Minnow, offered a telling observation when he proclaimed that TV was a vast wasteland. TV today is even more of a scripted wasteland than the medium was in Even the local police in Ferguson, Missouri and the National Guard followed the media script. People yelled and screamed, hundreds of gun shots were heard and people ran through the streets of Ferguson unafraid of arrest. People broke into stores, looters stole merchandise, arsonists ignited buildings and rioters incinerated two police cars yet, law enforcement authorities did nothing to deter the violence. The script had to be followed. It is an arguable point but not unfathomable that cable TV producers could have met in secret with those bent on causing violence. Similar events occurred in the halcyon days of the Vietnam War protests when network producers met with the former SDS leaders. The events in Ferguson, Missouri could have been planned beyond what many might reasonably surmise. Planning was needed in Ferguson with plot and dialogue because the cliché applied and had to be sustained, It was all about the money. Rioting is good for cable news outlets to show because audience ratings skyrocket, advertising revenue climbs and millions more come into the cable outlets than if they were covering yet another boring suicide bombing in Iraq. Ferguson, Missouri last week had it all. The scene presented a revival of the racial conflict that has flourished as front-page news since Atlanta, Birmingham and Selma in the 1950s. The Ferguson, Missouri riots had the sex appeal and elements that are attractive to viewers because the event was occurring here. The event was also occurring in an economically depressed area that has the concern of many in the nation. The riots resulted from the death of a young unarmed black man at the hands of a local white policeman. How can the drama get more intense? How can the sex appeal get any more seductive? Why shouldn t cable news profits grow? How can American cable TV viewers allow themselves to be made to appear even more gullible than this? Perhaps the ultimate question of viewer gullibility is to watch as thousands of fans believe that the NFL that fronts for bookies and gambling interests worldwide stages games without manipulation and that teams are made up of premiere athletes that want only to win. The Ferguson, Missouri riots last week cast off the scent that the entire event was planned, scripted and the result was foretold. The only uncertainty was how low the temperature would drop and when the rioters would go home and let the smoldering embers die away. Little if anything will change there and it is likely that Michael Brown will become another footnote in history. It is, however, inappropriate to mention his name in the same breath as Emit Till or Medgar Evers. If anything can result from Ferguson, Missouri last week it is for TV viewers to understand that they were made into yet another joke by the producers, rioters, reporters and anchor people. This is an example of another staged event that was designed to masquerade as reality TV. Welcome to the real world of modern cable TV where myth supersedes truth.

Plote was operating their quarry as if the MFN language remained within the revised agreement. Judge Tobin also provided his analysis to support denial of the motion by Plote to dismiss the lawsuit. He cited the Illinois Code that details what a motion to dismiss is designed to accomplish. The primary purpose of a Section motion is to provide a means to dispose of issues of law or easily proved issues of fact. However, if it cannot be determined with reasonable certainty that the alleged defense exists the motion should not be allowed. Judge Tobin posed a number of questions within the context of a motion to dismiss and concluded that the questions cannot be answered. He wrote, Based upon evidence unknown to the Court, it is possible Defendants can assert a cause of action; likewise, it is equally possible (again, based upon evidence unknown to the Court) Plaintiff could have a defense. Because of this uncertainty, the motion to dismiss by Plote was denied. Judge Tobin then engaged in an extended discussion of the County s motion seeking a temporary restraining order. The purpose the county sought was for the judge to restrain the activity of Plote and require them to limit their hours and days of operation according to the previous agreement and not according to the hours and days of operation granted to Quality Aggregates. Ms. Courier clarified, Plote wants to be compared to Quality Aggregates and their situation is very different from Plote. She explained that the environment where Quality Aggregates operates is not adjacent to or near residential areas that have been in existence for many years. The site where the Plote quarry is located has residences that are directly adjacent to where the blasting and rock removal process is occurring. Judge Tobin concluded his analysis of how and when a restraining order may be granted and explained how court approved tests were not successfully argued by the Defendant to avoid imposition of the restraining order. Judge Tobin wrote, The Plaintiff alleges that an ordinance was passed that controlled the hours of operation of the Defendant s quarry. There is a presumption that the ordinance is valid. The Plaintiff submitted an affidavit asserting Defendants have operated their business outside the hours of operation allowed in the ordinance and special use permit. Defendant does not deny such operation occurred. The County Code grants Plaintiff the authority to seek injunctive relief. The judge asserted in that the merits of a cause of action seeking a permanent injunction would likely succeed and for that reason, the temporary restraining order was granted. It should be noted that the temporary restraining order bars Plote from continuing their quarrying operations outside the hours and days of operation specified in the ordinance that guides that activity or in the special use permit. Ms. Courier said that another status hearing is scheduled in Judge Tobin s Court on January 15 when her office will continue to pursue a permanent injunction. If successful, the goal of the lawsuit would bar Plote from operating their quarry in abrogation of the parameters of the ordinance and the special use permit Old Fashioned Holidays at V LLEY VIEW TREE F RM 6440 Belvidere Road, Roscoe North off of Rt. 173 on Belvidere Road CHRISTMAS TREES Fraser, Balsam, Balsam & Canaan Firs, Spruce & White Pine Trees & Wreaths Garland Boughs Baskets Cemetery Decorations Visit Ou r Hol iday Gi ft Shop Open Mon. - Fri. 9-7 Sat. - Sun. 9-5 J O U R N A Is your license plate sticker* expiring soon?

Bob Walberg, Chairman, Boone County Board. Published in the Boone County Journal Swearing in New County Officials By James Middleton With the ending of one period in life, thus begins another. General elections have the characteristic of ending many phases but also beginning many new phases in life. In the case of Boone County government, Monday, December 1 marked the return of incumbent county officials who were reelected in the November General Election. But, above that, Monday also marked the end of 36 years of service by Boone County Sheriff Duane Wirth and the beginning of a new leader in the Sheriff s Department with the swearingin of David Ernest who was elected to serve in that post. The ceremony occurred in old Courtroom A in the Boone County Courthouse where the honorable Judge C. Robert Tobin III now presides over a varied range of judicial activities. One of those activities was to swearin the newly elected Boone County clerk and the Boone County treasurer and an assistant treasurer to serve the county. Judge Tobin also presided over the swearing-in of the new Boone County Sheriff, David Ernest. Almost 50 people attended the event including current and former representatives on the Boone County Board. The chairman of the County Board, Bob Walberg was present as was the county administrator Ken Terrinoni and County representative Cathy Ward. But, in addition, there were also members of the Belvidere Police Department where Sheriff Ernest had served for many years ending his career in city law enforcement as a Deputy Chief of the Belvidere Police Department. There were also local residents who came for the ceremony along with members of the Boone County Sheriff s Department. Judge Tobin assumed his post at a portable rostrum where he delivered the oath of office first, to the Boone County clerk, Mary Steurer. She was followed by the oath being delivered to the returning Boone County treasurer Curt Newport and then his assistant, Deloris Wilson recited her oath of office. Finally, the new Boone County Sheriff David Ernest took his place in front of Judge Tobin and recited his oath of office. Applause greeted the new sheriff as former Sheriff, Duane Wirth, came to the rostrum and draped the official badge of the office over Sheriff Ernest s shoulders. Another round of applause celebrated the event. With that, the official elements of the event were finished as those that witnessed the swearing-in began to leave the courtroom so that the judicial business of the day could occur. After the ceremony was finished, Sheriff Ernest said, I am very excited to move ahead and we do have a lot of work to do. He smiled and was congratulated by more people that witnessed the event. Outside the courtroom in the hallway leading to the stairway, former Sheriff Wirth was returning to the courtroom. When asked what he planned to do he said, Well, I ll be around here for a while then I plan to take a much needed vacation. I m not sure what the next chapter will hold and I ll take a year or more to decide. He indicated that he intends to remain busy and has a number of activities in mind that he hopes to enjoy. Mr. Wirth also said that he felt good about the condition of the Boone County Sheriff s Department. We have a good staff and a good team and it all should operate well. He indicated that he is happy at that. Changes have also occurred at the Belvidere Police Department with the departure of former Deputy Chief Ernest. Police Chief Jan Noble was also present to see his former Deputy Chief be sworn-in as the new Sheriff. Chief Noble said, Later today (Monday December 1) we will be swearing-in Sergeant Brad Lasswell as our new Deputy Chief. Chief Noble said that Deputy Chief Lasswell would be taking over many of the duties that former Deputy Chief Ernest had held. Chief Noble also said that there would be another promotion with the advancement of Detective Chris Washburn to Sergeant. Chief Noble also announced that a new entry level patrol office would be sworn-in, Ms. K.C. Bronx will begin her service on the Belvidere Police force. Sheriff Ernest was dressed for the start of his career as the Boone County Sheriff wearing a blue suit. Some of his deputies were present for the ceremony dressed in their uniforms. Duane Wirth had served the county and the community as Boone County Sheriff for 36 years. It is imagined that some of his policies will sustain in the shortterm. But, of course, with a new leader for the department, over time, the department will come more to resemble the policy and practices of Sheriff Dave Ernest than his predecessor. Returning to the Present By James Middleton Monday December 1, 2014 was a day when the swearing-in newly elected officials in Boone County occurred. In addition, members of the County Board selected their leaders for the new Board. The ceremonies began early on Monday at the Boone County Courthouse where the returning county clerk, county treasurer and the assistant treasurer were swore-in to serve. Perhaps the most newsworthy event Monday morning was the investiture of the new Boone County Sheriff, David Ernest. Sheriff Ernest is the first new Sheriff to serve the county in 36 years. Monday night, the action moved to the Boone County Administrative Center on Logan Avenue for the searingin of seven newly elected County representatives. Two of those sworn-in were returning representatives that had been reelected while the other five were newly elected to serve in the county. Those representatives that were returning included Ken Freeman (District #3) who will serve a two-year term and Karl Johnson (District #2) who was elected to serve a fouryear term. Those that were newly elected to the County Board included Sherry Branson (District #3), Brad Stark (District #3), Sherry Giesecke (District #1), Raymond Larson (District 2) and Jeffrey Carlisle (District #2). The Boone County clerk, Mary Steurer served as the chairman of the meeting as the representative that had been the chairman was no longer serving in that capacity as a new chairman would be chosen. She opened the meeting and managed the agenda through the swearing-in ceremony. After the newly elected representatives were sworn-in, Ms. Steurer presided over the approval of the agenda and then moved to asking for nominations for chairman of the County Board. With that, representative Karl Johnson nominated Bob Walberg (District #1) the former chairman to be reelected. Ken Freeman then moved to nominate Craig Schultz (District #3) to be chosen as chairman. The nominations were then closed as no other nominations arose. In a roll-call vote, Mr. Walberg was reelected to serve as chairman of the County Board. The vote was 9 members favoring Mr. Walberg and 3 members that were opposed. Mr. Walberg was elected to serve another term. The next item on the agenda was for the County Board to select a vice chairman of the County Board. One representative was nominated and that was Paul Larson (District #2) with no other nominees that followed. In a roll-call vote Mr, Larson was unanimously elected to serve as vice chairman of the County Board. The county administrator, Ken Terrinoni then took the floor to enumerate how the county committee meetings would run for December. In that the chairman and vice chairman had just been selected and the roster of members LOCAL on the various county committees had not been set, the December meetings were delayed one week. The meetings will move forward through December as follows: the administrative and legislative meeting will occur on December 8 followed by the Public Safety committee. On December 9, Roads and Capital Improvements will be held followed by the finance and employment committee. On December 10, the building, planning and zoning committee will occur followed by the city and county coordinating meeting. The final county committee meeting, health and human services, will be held on December 11. At the conclusion of the meeting dates, Mr. Terrinoni added, In January we will go back to our normal schedule of committee meetings. Mr. Larson then announced, For all of the new members, the December 11 meeting of the roads and capital improvements committee will be very important if we are to get bids for construction of the new animal control shelter building before the end of the year. He said that time was growing short and the previous County Board had wanted to begin the process before the end of We are planning, Mr. Larson continued, a new building that would be on the highway department property near the Maple Crest facilities. We expect to use an existing well and we plan to attach to the city sewer line that is used by Maple Crest. We need to be aware of some inspections that had trouble with in the jail construction and we need to correct some errors that we found in the construction project for the Administrative Center, this very building. Mr. Larson emphasized that the new County Board must make these decisions to reach that end of 2014 goal to begin the process. In the November General Elections, Boone County voters approved to allow the Boone County Board to incur debt to the extent of $800,000 to construct a new animal control shelter. Pressure has been applied by some current and former members of the County Board and some residents that live within and outside the county have also applied pressure to build a new shelter. Mr. Larson concluded by emphasizing what the new County Board must do on that matter and the meeting was adjourned. Mr. Walberg made only one comment following the meeting regarding his reelection as the chairman of the County Board. He said that one area he wants to emphasize for county consideration in 2015 is to expand and enhance economic development in the county. One element that was emphasized that the county needs during the Fiscal Year 2015 budget negotiations was how the county needs to obtain more revenue from sales tax collections. Expansion of sales tax collection by obtaining greater retail economic development opportunities could be one area of interest for the newly elected County Board chairman in is YOUR Market!
