Citizen Comments. • Chief Paul Anderson Jr. asked for who build the sidewalk on Carson rd and when and when was it built?The County is asking him to either add a foot to the 5ft sidewalk or pay a fee to have a nonconforming sidewalk. His replied to the County was that if the County did not build it to their code then when would the fire district have to pay for it? • W.L. McDaniel suggested how the Board and Staff could add an agenda item to the agenda calls "Other New Business". It would be to discuss anything that is not part of the current agenda for future discussion or votes. • W.L. McDaniel also would like the Board to think about the Main St.project.
