CITIZEN COMMENTS
Jay Martz., Gainesboro District, addressed the Board regarding:
- Old Gainesboro School. It was a shame that the building was allowed to fall into
such disrepair. He felt the resources should have been provided to keep it maintained.
- Spending $15 million on a new transportation facility.
- Frederick County schools looking at a new high school. He hoped people were
thinking ahead to the future since most of the new schools have been at capacity
when they opened.
- He reviewed the mandate report provided by the state and he noticed there were 80
recommendations for local government and 120 for education.
He concluded by saying maybe we should look at reducing the expenditures we have instead of
considering raising taxes.
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS COMMENTS
