4. AUDIENCE COMMENT.
Taj Jefferson, 6909 Rickyval St., said he is in opposition to the uniform addressing
project.
Justin Clairmore, 3205 Bruce Dr., said he has concerns with businesses having to
make the change, and the costs that go along with it. He has not seen any data that
shows this is necessary. He is in opposition.
Andy Sutton, 6504 Zinser St., said he is in opposition. This is more than an
inconvenience. He talked about the extra workload for businesses. This is county
money and is not free. Rib Mountain filed an appeal today. We are much too large to
do this now.
Brian Bushnell, 3700 Mount View Ave., #14, said he sees this as unpopular and
costly. Either decision the board makes will be wrong.
Kurt Gibbs, Marathon County Board of Supervisors, explained how much the county
has looked at the inconvenience. There have been many instances where public

quicker and accurate. This money is coming from the environmental fund and was
