r V iAR 10 1992 BOOK 6b PAIUE 601 County Attorney Vitunac responded to the question of why the County Attorney sat mute. He stated that he had no proof of any conflict of interest and presumed that Commissioner Scurlock would declare a conflict of interest if there were a conflict of interest. Attorney Vitunac drew the conclusion that since Commissioner Scurlock did not declare a conflict of interest, any previous statements by Commissioner Scurlock of an association with the contractor were untrustworthy. Commissioner Wheeler stated that he is not Commissioner Scurlock's conscience and could not sit in judgment of another commissioner because of rumors. He believed a grand jury investigation would clear the air, get everything out on the table and stop rumor, innuendo and allegations. Commissioner Scurlock asked, and Commissioner Wheeler clarified that the intent of the motion is to have a grand jury investigate all members of the Board of County Commissioners. Frank Zorc asked for and was granted permission to speak in favor of the suggestion and felt that an immediate grand jury investigation would help clear the air. Discussion ensued about procedure for convening a grand jury and the scope of the investigation. It was agreed that once an investigation is begun it takes on a life of its own and it will include officials, staff, and anybody else they consider necessary to the investigation. Commissioner Scurlock asked for the motion to be repeated. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. It was voted on and carried unanimously. SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL DISTRICT Chairman Eggert announced that immediately upon adjournment the Board would reconvene sitting as the Commissioners of the Solid Waste Disposal District. Those Minutes are being prepared separately. There being no further business, on Motion duly made, seconded and carried, the Board adjourned at 11:25 o'clock A. M. ATTEST: J. rton, Clerk Carolyn JY1.
