Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final <br />Attachments: Request to Speak Rigby <br />March 28, 2023 <br />Mr. Bill Rigby and Mr. Ardra Rigby, West Wabasso Progressive Civic Club <br />(Club), appeared before the Board to discuss the agreement for the Club's <br />monthly use of the Old Douglas School Building (formerly Dasie Hope Center). <br />The Rigbys requested an explanation of the term "shared usage", and expressed <br />frustration with communication regarding the Board's decision to have the Health <br />Department lease and move into the facility. <br />County Attorney Dylan Reingold referred to the Board's meeting of May 10, <br />2022, where the Rigbys were present while the Health Department's lease was <br />discussed, and described the standard facility use agreement the Club received. <br />Mr. Ardra Rigby again expressed frustration regarding communication, and felt his <br />protests were ignored. <br />Discussion with staff returned to the topics of shared usage, the state -mandated <br />requirement for liability insurance, and an explanation of permissive use. Chairman <br />Earman suggested the Rigbys work directly with the Health Department to resolve <br />their use agreement issues. Attorney Reingold posited the Club was unhappy with <br />Health Department's prohibition against political events, and were attempting to <br />relitigate the 2022 decision. <br />The Rigbys continued to express frustration with the Health Department's lease <br />and shared use rights, and suggested the Club was receiving differential treatment. <br />Chairman Earman advised the use agreement's terms were state -mandated and <br />not subject to change. The Chairman then called for an end to the discussion. <br />No Action Taken or Required <br />The Chairman called for a recess at 10:34 a.m., and reconvened the meeting at 10:47 <br />a.m., with all members present. <br />C.
