Public Comment

Dennis Hildebrand, representing Mineral County Search and Rescue, asked the County Commissioners to help Search and Rescue acquire a piece of land and that they are currently looking at the land by the county shop that is currently owned by the town of Superior. County Commissioner Duane Simons asked Hildebrand what the minimum amount of land would be to accommodate search and rescue. Hildebrand responded that an acre would work but two acres would be better.
