Mr. Henderson, giving his executive director's report, stated that KACo, as a whole, needs to identify potential solution(s) for the upcoming session regarding the jail issues-solutions that will truly be effective and can make a difference. Achieving this will likely require more than the options currently under consideration. President Mosley requested staff to provide the top three potential solutions that were addressed at the KACo Board Retreat to be provided at the quarterly September board meeting for consideration. Ms. Hampton said she would provide the Committee with a summary of the jail discussion from the recent board retreat.
Mr. Henderson mentioned that a recurring topic among members who have attended the listening sessions is the regional driver's license offices. KACo will survey its members on the issue.
The next meeting is Thursday, Sept. 25, at 11 a.m. at the KACo offices.
Motion made by David Livingston, seconded by Amy Chandler, to adjourn the meeting at 11:22 a.m. Motion carried.
