News : Appropriateness of questioning Appropriateness is not Appropriate

Following the special Supervisor meeting last Thursday, Supervisor Rick Primmer announced at Tuesday's regular session that the county's insurance suggested that public comments should be limited to three minutes per person, rather than the free-for-all that the supervisors entertained last week.

At Tuesday's meeting, resident Doug Cook asked the supervisors, "My concern is with Tracy Seeman. I'm curious, Tracy, in light of recent events that have happened and payouts that have been made, if you feel that you should stay on the board?"

Seeman replied, "Yes."

Cook asked, "And why?"

At this point, Supervisor Rick Primmer interrupted, "You know I don't really feel that this is appropriate."

Cook asked, "Why?"

Primmer, "Well, he is an elected official, he was elected by you the public, there is a method by what I understand to go through, but to publicly come out ya know. He knows that he did wrong, and as a county ya know, we paid unfortunately, dearly, but it could have been a whole lot more. A whole lot more.

Tracy has done a lot for this county that people don't know about and has saved the county at least that amount of money in the construction of two buildings with acting as a general contractor.

So ya know, his comment of intending to stay on is sufficient.

If there is no other comments I'm going to make a motion that we adjourn."

So they did, with no further comment from Seeman.
