A joint meeting of the Laurel, Billings and Yellowstone
County Governmental Study Commissions was called to order at
6:30 P.M. with an introduction of guests.
A lengthy discussion ensued as to the participation in
a proposed survey to be set-up and administered by Dr. Joe Floyd
of MSU-B. The group was informed that this survey would probably
be taken in September. Gayle Roset stated that Billings would
take part whether or not Laurel or the County decided to
participate. . Mike Kennedy, for the county stated that they
would participate: Ron Marshall stated that Laurel was reluctant
to participate because it has only 5% of the population in the
county, but is being asked to fund approximately 30% of the
cost. A Lengthy discussion ensued on costs and survey samples.
Upon the suggestion of Darla Day, Mike Kennedy said he would
ask the County Commissioners, on May 24, 1995, if they would
bear the entire costs of the survey, since Laurel and Billings
taxpayers also pay county taxes.
A discussion concerning on what the voters really wanted
the three respective commissions to accomplish. It was mentioned
that public participation at meetings has been very light.
Meeting adjourned at 7:45 P.M.
Respectfully submitted,
Steve Cosner, chairman
