B. RECEIVE COMMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC <br />Chairman Flescher opened the floor to public comments. <br />Ms. McKenzie was concerned that some of the Gifford residents were paying into the <br />East Gifford Stormwater MSBU, but not getting relief from their drainage problems. <br />A lengthy discussion followed as Commissioners and staff provided commentary on the <br />purpose, geographic boundaries and service area of the MSBU, and responded to a series of <br />questions/comments posed by Ms. McKenzie. <br />Ms. McKenzie stated that she hoped the County would take the demographics of the <br />Gifford area into consideration and find alternative funding to absorb the costs of some of the <br />improvements that are needed in the community. <br />Discussion ensued about a Community Development Block Grant that was transferred <br />from the Gifford Community to offset other projects, and Ms. McKenzie asked the Board to <br />henceforth make sure whatever resources are available stay within the community. <br />September 11, 2013 11 <br />Preliminary Budget Hearing <br />BK 144 PG 3 I 4 <br />11.
