Today, Bott wanted the board to view a video presented recently to the U-N about the issue of climate change and the presenters case for governments to be aware of the issues and make changes.

On another topic, the board discussed some issues that have been raised about those with disabilities voting absentee at the administration building. The doors closest to the auditor’s office, where the voting occurs, have been locked for security reasons. Some residents have voiced concerns about parking in the handicapped spaces in the parking lot and the long walk to the open doors and then to the auditor’s office to vote.
Elections Commissioner Eric Van Lancker says they have tried to make accommodations for those residents and will continue to make efforts to insure everyone can vote.
The board agreed to keep the doors lock for the issue of security.
VanLancker encouraged anyone with a concern about access to the office that they can request an absentee ballot by mail and return by mail or contact the auditor’s office and they could work out arrangements to allow access to the door by the office when you arrive.
