The frustration of the five member Board of Commissioners was palpable.The latest brouhaha involved the discussion of a competing Request for Proposal (RFP) by grants writer Mike Bahr.On record and submitted is a valid proposal from McGraw First Development, nine months in the making, for a lease to begin allowing expedient asphalt work on both RV parks, before the rainy season begins. A one hour discussion ensued initiated by Commissioner Dan Schmidt who spoke for almost 25 minutes, introducing seemingly endless minutiae which not only touched the current Bahr proposal but meandered the entire breadth of the necessity and purpose of RFPs in general.

His comments seemed to fall on deaf ears.When it came to making a motion on the RFP, all parties were mired in a sea of ignorance and confusion. What were the changes to be made on the tedious document covering a myriad of items? Bahr attempted to cobble a new agreement, forthwith but the confusion was omnipresent. No decision was made and without knowing the proposed changes in writing, the item was passively tabled.Meanwhile, the endless discussion and chaos ensues.Breaking news at press time in a Special Meeting…Commissioners approved another RFP the next day of a one subject agenda, finally approving the RFP on a 4-1 vote, Commissioner Annie Nehmer dissenting.The commission next meets Wednesday, August 27 at 2PM at its Citizens Dock office. googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('ad-1515727'); });
