recommendations. Mr. Smyth presented an overview of the changes that

at a meeting with operators and Councilmembers. The need for explicit
communication between supervisors and operators was pointed out by
the questions. Mr. Smyth outlined Augustine's activities for the
next month.
AUGUSTINE CONTRACT FOR THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT: Mr. Martin noted receipt
of a letter from Norman Carlson requesting that the Council transfer
the Council 's contract services money to the Sheriff's Department
for use with money from the Contingency Fund to fund the Augustine
Associate contract for the Sheriff's Department. Councilmembers
expressed their views in response to the letter. Ralph Waldo made
a motion to authorize the transfer of $18,000. from the Council
budget to the General Fund budget to be used to implement the request
of the Sheriff to have a study made of his department by Augustine
Associates. The Council will be furnished with progress reports and
receive copies of the recommendations and reports that are made to
the Sheriff. Cedric Hallock seconded the motion. It was carried with
three yeas and Gary Kampel voting no.
PLANNING PROBLEMS: Mr. and Mrs. Ed Ohman made a presentation to the
Council regarding their request to split their ten acres of land
two miles from Eaton. The Ohmans presented a case to the Council that
highlighted the frustration of citizens who endeavor to adhere to
County planning procedures without wanting to waste their money on
required surveys and fees only to have their requests denied.
As the Otmanb lot size variance was approved by the Commissioners and
later their request for a recorded exemption was denied by the
Commissioners, there was discussion regarding the planning procedures.

Commissioners at one time. Councilmembers felt that the Ohmans
case should be reviewed by the Commissioners, but no satisfactory
compromise was reached.

5214 and 5215 be approved for payment. Cedric Hallock seconded
the motion and it carried unanimously.
MEETING MINUTES: Cedric Hallock made a motion that the July 5, 1979
meeting minutes be approved. Gary Kampel seconded the motion
and it carried unanimously.

Councilmembers setting Council meetings once a month would be
held over for the next meeting. Mr. Martin said that he would
