At the July 22 meeting of the Benton County Commission, Susan Steiner, representative of Grandview Beach Homeowners Association, met with commissioners to discuss a past decision reached by the commission pertaining to a Request for Over-Surplus Funds for a property located in Grandview Beach subdivision. Janelle Mullen and Collector David Brodersen were also present.
The commissioners previously had declined to pay the request that was received on behalf of Grandview Beach Homeowners Association. Steiner asked the commissioners to reconsider their decision, stating that the amount requested was for unpaid dues and assessments, and the homeowner’s association had a lien on the property in an attempt to recover these funds. Collector Brodersen explained that according to statute, a lien must be recovered prior to the county tax sale and that was not the case. The property in question was sold on the August 2023 tax sale, and the lien was filed May 26, 2023. The commissioners stand behind the decision that was reached on June 24, 2024 and no action was taken in this matter.
County Clerk Susan Porterfield spoke to the commissioners on behalf of Linda Allcorn, Director of Boonslick Regional Library, concerning the appointment of two trustees to this board. District 2 Commissioner Scott Harms made the motion to reappoint Jean Breshears and Martha Meyer as Trustees to the Boonslick Regional Library Board as recommended by that board. The motion passed.
County Treasurer Rick Renno presented his weekly financial report, noting that sales tax revenues are down compared to last year at this time. County Clerk Porterfield submitted bills for approval and payment.
E-911 Director Jessica Mayfield met with the commissioners to discuss a proposal for a new computer-aided dispatch (CAD) system for the E-911 Dispatch Center that she has received. This integrated system would benefit all emergency entities in the county.
