No Old Business was discussed.
The following New Business was discussed:
1. Mr. Menn asked if the county had seen any reduction in Motor Fuel Tax receipts. Mr. Berry stated that the March revenue, received in April, was very close to normal. Mr. Berry said that the April revenue, which the county will receive in May, will likely be lower than usual.
2. Mr. Scheetz said that he had spoken to the County Clerk about a possible deference or waiver of the late fees that are normally charged on delinquent property tax bills, as a way to help families and businesses that are facing hardship due to the Corona Virus. The clerk said that would not be possible because those fees are mandated by the state statutes.
As no further business was brought before the Committee at this time, a motion was made by Mr. Scheetz and seconded by Mr. Menn to recess until Thursday, May 28, 2020 at 8:30 A.M. All committee members present voted 'Aye'. The meeting adjourned at 9:05 A.M.
