Back to two meetings a week
Beginning in October, the Butler County Commission will once again meet twice a week (Mondays and Thursdays). However, for October, the commission will be holding budget meetings on Mondays.
The first budget meeting will begin at 8 a.m. on Monday, Oct. 4. Two of the next three Mondays (Oct. 18 and 25) will also be budget work sessions and both are set to begin at 9 a.m.
All budget meetings will be held in the work session room on the sixth floor of the Government Services Building.
The resuming Thursday meetings will begin at 9:30 a.m. (the usual time) at the Commissioners meeting room on the second floor (the usual place).
So what do you hope comes out of these budget talks?

Don Dixon was asked why the meetings were increased from once a week and he said he couldn’t lay off enough people in just one meeting a week.

Do the math, Commissioners make about $74,000 a year. They work one hour per week, that’s about $1,400.00 an hour. Meeting twice a week they can say they have taken a $37,000 cut in pay.

I like how they continue to have these meetings at 9:30 AM. You’d think that they could hold at least one meeting a week in the evening when citizens could attend. Don Dixon always talks about transparency but he clearly doesn’t want citizen participation in their government.
