These videos are of yesterday morning’s Work Session,
and they’re voting right now on
the annual grant paperwork

Utilities for Creekside West Phase II, i.e., water and sewer.
They will declare at least two

We don’t know what those conflicts are, because as usual
the county only published the agenda sheets for
