From Commissioner Wortman

Hi folks, I don’t have a whole lot to report, since most everything is shut down.

The Jefferson County Commission continues to meet Tuesdays at 1:30 p.m. We now hold our meetings on Zoom to let the public participate from home. If you have a camera and microphone on your computer, go to zoom.com/join, click on the join a meeting, and enter meeting ID 671-828-8589.

One of the things we recently discussed was a policy for a junk mobile home incentive program. Basically, if the owner of a junk mobile home would have the mobile home removed from their property and properly disposed of, the County would reimburse a certain amount of the expense, probably around $500. Twenty percent of the junk vehicles program funds can be used for the junk mobile homes, and the County may also put in some PILT money.
