2/29/2016 MINUTES 2 A Rural Public Lands County Council Affiliate. He stated that Mr. Weidner has requested $10,000.00 this year which would reflect a raise from the $7,500.00 it has been. The Board directed Commissioner Berndt to request an updated MOA and Invoice showing $8,000.00, (not $10.000.00). They indicated that they would be willing to increase to $8,000.00, noting that once that is corrected they would approve the MOA. DISCUSSION BOCC / TRAVEL COMMISSIONERS Commissioner Jewell expressed concern with regard to the cost of the recent NACO DC trip. He explained that the information he and Julie Kjorsvik, Clerk of the Board have obtained reflect that WSAC only pays up to $2,000.00 (up to $4,000.00 – 2 NACO trips) and as of right now the cost for the last trip to DC for NACO is growing closer to $4,000.00, give or take some. Chairman O’Brien stated that is incorrect and that the language he has indicates that NACO will reimburse up to $4,000.00 and that was updated at their last meeting. He explained that he didn’t intend on spending that much and felt he had a good idea of where he was in the WSAC funds, budget wise. He stated anything that goes over what they pay he will pay the difference. Commissioner Jewell stressed the importance of staying in the budget and that the County didn’t budget for NACO. He stressed the importance of the Board being present in the County and working for the County that is the ultimate importance. Chairman O’Brien stated that he will look for the information reflecting the revised NACO travel amount and will recheck his figures for the next NACO Conference.
