Joe Bradley asked Cai Cumin to speak on the county-wide planning area. Cai stated that about 6 months ago the County Commissioners set up a commission with a task force of county residents (John Smith was the only representative from Laurel}. The end result of the task force is that the City-County Planning Board in Billings and Laurel be abolished. They wanted everything to go under one big happy court. There would be 15 members appointed throughout the county. They would deal with all planning problems throughout the county, cities, etc., and of that 15 members they would also appoint a 5-member zoning board whicl~ would handle all the county- city's area. The commissioners then set a hearing to adopt a resolution of intent to create a county-wide planning board, and Cal said he went down there with a letter from Laurel's City-County Planning Board and said please don't do this to us, we have a good program going for us out here. They did adopt a resolution of intent to create it and left intact the 4½ miles around Laurel. The task force was very much against this. Members of Laurel's City-County Planning Board and Cal went to a hearing on the 17th of June and voiced their opinion against what the task force wanted to do. Motion by Alderman Feuerbacher to authorize the Mayor to write a letter to the County Commissioners asking that the local planning board be left intact, seconded by Alderman Dickerson. Motion carried 6-0. Paul Peterson informed the Council that P.M.Magazine was out about 1½ months ago shooting a program for KOUS TV in Hardin. It will be aired tomorrow night at 6:30 p.m. It's just about combining our ambulance with the HELP helicopter from St. Vincent's Hospital. Cal Cumin stated it deals with the mill levy. If we go county-wide planning in Yellowstone County~ the mill levy for planning will be less than one. It would be about 3/4 of a mill. Right now it is 2 mills~ and he feels that the people of Laurel are willing to pay more and just want to be left alone and leave things the way they are. There being no furthe~ business to~me~ the meeting was adjourned at 9.05 p.m. Approved by the Mayor and passed by the City Council of the City of Laurel, Montana, this 7th day of August, 1984.
