Other items to be discussed include:

• The possible lease a house at 1 Rock House Road which the county purchased this year to a county employee. Currently there is no formal plan for the property and historically, the County has chosen to lease properties that do not have a formal use plan.
• Use of County Facilities by Non-County Functions.
