In discus- sions with Commissioner Rust, he thought the meeting was to establish agenda items which affected each jurisdiction and then each would address those agenda items in their individual meetings. Mayor Keller mentioned if there was to be discussion about sewers, there was already a mechanism functioning, noting the Wastewater Management Commission. He said there might be a need for more in- formation about what the Commissioners really wanted to discuss in that regard. Mr. Obie said he felt Council should consider an agenda item regarding exploration of more equitable distribution of funds generated by the County relative to urban and nonurbanized areas, perhaps on a per capita basis. Mr. Haws and and Mr. Delay concurred with the impor- tance of that topic. Mr. Delay continued that he thought it important e for elected officials to create some mechanism for working on the problem, to lay ground rules to insure where the money is going.
