We do all tire services. Ladd’s Auto LLC My name is Riley. I am a poodle mix and I don’t think I’ve ever had a haircut before. My fur extremely matted so they had to shave it all off. My forever home is out there and I am patiently waiting to go to it. I dream that it will have a fenced yard to keep me safe and to play In. Maybe there would be another little dog for me to pal around with and children would be nice if they were respectful of me. I use to wander off to a school in my neighborhood and once the school called my caregivers to come and get me out of the cafe­ teria. Well, of course that didn’t go over very well and that’s why I need a fenced yard. I am wormed, vaccinated and neutered. I’m working on my potty training and I’m doing very well. Laps are my most favorite thing and I could live there all day given the opportunity. If you would like to get acquainted I’m available ■I most anytime. Please call Best Friends.

Citizen participation at this meeting began with Cynthia Long giving an update on the Forest Service’s re-engage­ ment meeting that was held two weeks ago. The take home message she brought to the board was that the Forest Service has expressed an interest in working more closely with current county plans but they are also looking for the user groups to come to them to initiate a meet- _,ing. > - Gommissk>ner-Mafk Bennett Sal­ lowed up her conversation by com­ menting on the unanimous decision made by the Commissioner to opt out of the MoU. “I am not against talking to the Forest Service and I was really pleased to hear that Tom Montoya recognized that the counties had plans and he wants to participate in those plans. I'm open to sitting down and discussing that, but we won't be signing the same MoU. When we said we're not signing the MoU, it kinda' sounded like we did­ n't want to participate. Well, we want to represent our people. Bill [Harvey] is our lead in handling all of the important aspects of this topic. I feel that the Forest Service needs to come to us and say, look, we realize you spent thousands of dollars and we realize you spent hours and hours of staff time and we want to work with you. We are willing to sit down for discussion, but it has to be a new discussion," Bennett said. Medical Marijuana Dispen­ saries Jeff Nelson reported as a repre­ sentative for the downtown busi­ nesses, as a member of Historic Baker City (HBC) and the Chamber of Commerce regarding business li­ censes and medical marijuana. Nel­ son met with Mayor Mosier regarding the possibility of Baker City issuing a license to regulate medical marijuana dispensary busi­ nesses and there was the question of whether or not Baker County was interested in doing so as well. Commissioner Bill Harvey re­ sponded stating that he was at the City Council meeting where the issue was discussed and he felt that he had answered that question in the best possible way he could, con­ sidering he had not formally dis­ cussed it previously with the other commissioners while in session. He also mentioned that the city had not notified the commissioners this topic was going to be discussed, so they really had no reason to discuss it as of yet. Harvey stated the County did not want a dispensary and continued, “A dispensary is a commercial en­ tity that needs to be controlled and regulated and it needs to be located where it is secure and safe as well. These present so many more prob­ lems for law enforcement and any­ body else that has to be around it. It’s just not a safe atmosphere and it’s not something that we would like to foster in our communities.” Discussion continued as Harvey contended that the only reason why See COMMISSIONERS on page 9
