Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final September 10, 2025 Assistant County Attorney Chris Hicks addressed the Board, explaining that for the assessment, the County must propose the highest amount possible. However, this figure would be adjusted once they receive the final amount. It is projected that the final amount would exceed $60,000, although this was not guaranteed; it remains a projection. The precise figure would only be known once they obtain the final numbers from the contractor. A discussion occurred among Ms. Giordano, Board members, and Attorney Hicks regarding the Water's Edge assessment notices, email correspondence, and the transition of the roads in Water's Edge to the County.
