NEW YORK - December 12, 2019 - IFC announced today that the fourth and final season of its critically-acclaimed series Brockmire starring Hank Azaria will premiere in March 2020. Returning for the series' final season are Amanda Peet, Tyrel Jackson Williams and Katie Finneran. Additionally, Reina Hardesty (The Flash) has joined the series' line-up for the final eight episodes.

Said Executive Producer and star Hank Azaria, "I really loved this season in several very right and a few very wrong ways. I hope you will too."

Jim Brockmire commented: "Making this show has been one of the top 7 joys of my life. Others include: that time by the swings with this guy Phil; my visit to the belt factory; my childhood days on the carrot farm; every time I finish a pancake challenge; that moment when you pass a porta potty and it really stinks then finally you get far enough away from it where you don't smell it anymore and just normal air seems like sweet, sweet perfume to you."

IFC Executive Director Blake Callaway added, "From the beginning, Brockmire was conceived as a four-season story, and we are so proud to see it written and produced to its creative conclusion. Blazers off to the amazing crew, our fantastic partners at Funny Or Die, and the incredible cast, especially the incomparable Hank Azaria, who lives, sleeps and breaths Jim Brockmire, as well as Amanda Peet who makes an indelible contribution to the show as Jules, and Tyrel Jackson-Williams who completely shines as Charles. Fans and critics alike will love watching how the story ends."

"It's hard to believe that Jim Brockmire first entered our lives a decade ago in what is now regarded as one of Funny Or Die's all-time classic videos," said Mike Farah, CEO of Funny Or Die and Executive Producer of Brockmire. "It's been an amazing journey and honor watching Hank bring so much comedy, empathy and emotion to the character, and we are excited for fans of the show to see the final and most ambitious season of Brockmire. I want to thank the entire Brockmire team, and especially IFC, for always championing our show."

Brockmire follows Jim Brockmire (Azaria), a famed major league baseball announcer who suffered a notorious public breakdown after stumbling upon his wife's (Finneran) infidelity - a breakdown so bad that "Brutal Brockmire" became a viral internet meme. Season 1 began a decade later, as Brockmire looked to reclaim his career and reputation by calling games for the Morristown Frackers, an underdog minor league baseball team. Despite finding happiness in Morristown alongside his girlfriend/team owner Jules (Peet), Season 2 began with a newly-single Brockmire calling games in New Orleans and living with his co-dependent friend Charles (Williams)... while fully indulging in the city's booze-riddled sins. When a drug-fueled night of partying with a stranger ends with a near-death experience, Brockmire realizes it's time to get sober once and for all. Season 3 took place one year after a stint in rehab, with Brockmire doing play-by-play in the radio booth for the major leagues in central Florida while maintaining his brazen and narcissistic tendencies, despite actually being on the wagon.

Brockmire originally appeared as a viral short video on the award-winning comedy website Funny Or Die. The series is written and developed by Joel Church-Cooper. This season Azaria, Church-Cooper and Funny Or Die's Farah and Joe Farrell are executive producers. Mo Marable is also an executive producer and series director.

Brockmire Seasons 1-3 are currently available to watch on iTunes, Google Play, Amazon and XBOX. Season 1 and 2 are also available on Hulu, with Season 3 joining Wednesday, January 1, 2020.

Breaking News - IFC's "Brockmire" Swings for the Fences in Its Fourth and Final Season Premiering in March 2020 - The Futon Critic

The Massachusetts Appeals Court today overturned a Superior Court judge's ruling that a church on Harvard Street in Mattapan has to make changes to a six-foot fence that really annoys a neighbor, ruling that matter should have gone to Land Court instead.

Lula and Leon Johnson sued Christ Apostle Church in 2014, saying they had long been allowed to park in the church driveway, dating to the day's when it was owned by the Jehovah's Witnesses, but that something hapened in 2013 to really sour relations between the couple and the church:

This resulted in the church building a new fence, six feet high, directly on the property line. Prior to building it, the church received a permit to build the fence from the city of Boston. The new fence did not have a gate in it. Moreover, because the Johnsons' home was situated very close to the lot line on the side facing the church, the new fence made it practically impossible for the Johnsons to access that side of their home for maintenance purposes; indeed, in one place there are only thirteen inches of space between the fence and the Johnsons' home.

In their filing, the church alleged that one of Johnson's grandson's attacked the pastor, and that's what led it to build the fence.

The couple sued in Suffolk Superior Court over what they claimed was a "spite fence," alleging negligence and "adverse possession." The church then filed a counter-suit alleging trespassing - the church said the Johnson's hired a contractor to move the fence away from their property.

A Suffolk Superior Court judge sided with the couple and ordered the church to install a gate in the fence and to let the Johnson's "access" their property from the church land.

But in its ruling today, the appeals court said that was a mistake, not for any reasons related to Lula Johnson's claims - the suit continued after her husband died - but because state law gives "exclusive original jurisdiction" over disputes related to parcels of land with titles registered in the county registry of deeds, and both pieces of land have titlles registered with the Suffolk County registry.

While not denominated as such, the judgment purports to grant the plaintiff a permanent easement to use the church's property to access her property. The Superior Court does not have jurisdiction to so encumber registered land.

So the court ordered the case transferred to Land Court for its consideration.

The rest is here:

The Real Housewives of Orange County are in Key West, and the drama is off the charts! The Tres Amigas are likely never going to be on good terms with Kelly Dodd ever again. Kelly made up with Tamra Judge on last weeks episode, but how long will that really last? Vicki Gunvalson has been reaching out to a woman that Kelly allegedly attacked. OOF.

For some reason, Shannon Beador took it upon herself to tell Kelly what Vicki was doing. GinaKirschenheiter wanted to do it first, but Fun Shannon beat her to the punch. Emily Simpson is also on the trip. Shes not really making an impact of any kind, but shes there. Braunwyn Windham-Burke probably didnt expect all this chaos when she planned the trip. Fun times are not allowed. Kelly and Vicki are about to go to war once again.

Vicki is injured. What a shock. Once again, the biggest drama queen of all time (besides Shannon) has been hurt. OKAY, VICKI.

Kelly, of course, doesnt believe Vicki is as hurt as she claims. Emily makes a hilarious dig about Tres Amigas being senior citizens, and Im dying. SO FUNNY.

Braunwyn, Emily, and Kelly take a tour of the Hemingway House, and it looks beautiful. Who knew there was so much history in Key West? Very cool.

Vicki falls trying to walk on her crutches, and her need for attention is annoying. Someone is trying a littletoohard to earn back her orange. Grow up.

Gina and Kelly have the same bathing suit and Kellys oranges are loud and proud. Sorry Gina, but Kelly wins a who wore it best contest this time. There really was no competition.

Watching how scared Gina is of water shouldnt entertain me as much as it does. If she isthat scared, she should stop putting herself in positions like this. Going on a jet ski isprobably not the place for someone with crippling water anxiety.

Honestly, watching Shannon do water sports is just as entertaining as watching Gina. Shannon doing athletics of any kind is never NOT going to be funny. Her facial reactions and body language are way too hilarious.

While in the water, Gina spots a shark, and now her life may be over. What a year. First, she was arrested, and now shes going to get eaten by JAWS. What a way to go though! Everyone out of the water!

I know the guide says nobody has ever died from a hammerhead, but damn. If I saw a HAMMERHEAD SHARK in the water, Id be fleeing for my life. Someone put my back on land.

Gina is crying, and Kelly hands her a starfish for good luck. LMAO. Alright. Hey, I know a shark is coming to eat you, but here is Patrick.

Braunwyn tells the Tres Amigas that Kelly admitted to having an anger problem. Here she goes again. Being the bone collector. She is SUCH a flip-flop.

The women are going out to a group dinner, so things are about to heat up. Theres almost no chance of this event going off without a Kelly and Vicki showdown. Someones going overboard on this booze cruise!

Braunwyn has the weirdest energy. She also looks panicked and frazzled. Im not sure if this group is the best environment for her.

Vicki has personalized hats for everyone, and the Kelly hat says Krazy AF. Apparently, doing it with a K is not shady. However, being shady doesnt make it not true. I think Kelly is very aware shes crazy, and she owns it for the most part.

Emily opens up to Kelly about her children mimicking her fighting with Shane Simpson. Kids pick up on everything, so thats not surprising. If their environment is toxic, theyll act out.

Kelly issues a very heartfelt apology to Tamra, and they exchange I love yous. Unfortunately, Tamra cant let that be it. She tries to initiate a peace treaty between Kelly and Vicki as well. LET IT GO.

How can Vicki honestly think shes doing nothing to Kelly? Shes done so many low down dirty things to Kelly. Pretending not to be self-aware isnt cute.

The ladies are back in Orange County after an intense Florida trip. Hopefully, being back home will knock some sense in them. The Tres Amigas cannot dominate this group forever. Its a clique that needs to come to an end.

Tamra, Shannon, and Braunwyn meet up for dinner with their significant others. They discuss Kelly and Vickis never-ending feud and how they always go low.

When you lay it all out there, they really are very similar. That could be the reason why they end up clashing.

Theyre inviting Kelly to Vickis engagement party. Oh, man. I dont know how great of an idea that is. Its the happiest day of Vickis life, and youre inviting her biggest enemy. Pot stirrers!

Kelly and her boyfriend Brian Reagan go to a batting cage, and hes horrible when it comes to athletics. Kelly actually can hit the ball really well! They talk about Vickis engagement party, but she has no interest in going to that. I feel that. Vickis been horrible to her.

Kelly shuts down Brian when he asks what the next step is for them. He wants her to move in, but she doesnt want to move in without an engagement. Fair enough. Although, we all know the real next step

Gina calls her mother and talks about the status of her marriage. She needs to figure out what shes going to do next. None of this is healthy. She wants to make the marriage work, but COME ON.

Her mother says its not just sex and says it shouldnt be the only priority. Thank you, momma! Preach! Gina is willing to stick this marriage out forallof the wrong reasons.

I feel like Tamra put her sons together in the room without telling them just to get a storyline. Thats not okay at all. Shes really forcing this situation.

However, the conversation turns to Tamras behavior. Shes been snapping at everyone lately. Shes projecting her financial issues onto the entire family.

Spencer Barneysays that Tamra doesnt really listen to him, and told him to get over a breakup. He claims theyre all wired by everyone. So many people in the family arent speaking to one another. What a mess.

Emily and Kelly are actually going to this anger management. I love that Emily is self-aware enough to realize she snaps too quickly. Thats such a good step.

Kelly had a better childhood than Emily, but the girl still has some issues. Although something went wrong in her life for her to get in the place shes in now. Most people dont react the way she does at the drop of the hat.

The therapist has them envision the people they find hardest to love. Naturally, Kellys top name was Vicki. She finds it hard not to punch Vicki in the face.

I mean, surely thats a common feeling. Theres so much hurt between the two. They might not ever be able to FULLY make up.

Emily wants everything in her life to be perfect to combat the chaos of her childhood. Stuff that happens when people are kids really sticks with them. It can be really rough.

Kelly doesnt want to hate Vicki. I actually believe that. I think she reacts really quickly to things. However, that doesnt mean she wants a blood feud. Shed probably prefer peace because at the end of the day nobody wants to fight forever.

Unlike Vicki, I dont think Kelly wants this to keep blowing up. Kellys going to the engagement party, so evidently, she is open to peace. Instead of fighting, this could be a new beginning for the two. I guess we will find out soon.

TELL US SHOULD KELLY AND VICKI MAKE UP? WHO IS MOST TO BLAME FOR THEIR FALLING OUT? ARE YOU ENJOYING THIS SEASON OF THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF ORANGE COUNTY?

Real Housewives Of Orange County Recap: Some Fences Are Made To Be Broken - Reality Tea

The seemingly ever-changing Marlins Park will sport a few new looks for the 2020 campaign. While roster changes are being made to improve the Marlins on-field product, that product will literally be presented on a new field.

The Marlins announced on Wednesday on their Beyond the Bases blogthat asynthetic grass surface will be installed for the upcoming season, thanks to a corporate partnership with Shaw Sports Turf. This new playing surface will replace the natural grass which struggled to take root at times in the retractable-roof stadium.

According to the announcement, the turf should closely mimic the surface play of natural grass.

The B1K: Batting A Thousand by Shaw Sports Turf is a dual fiber turf system comprised of Shaws high-performance Strenexe XD slit film and Bolt monofilament. This system provides excellent durability and functionality by minimizing infill splashing, maintaining adequate infill levels across the field. The Bolt fiber provides realistic ball roll, friction and natural grass aesthetics. These characteristics ensure the experiences of the players and fans will be maintained at the highest level.

Miami will join the Texas Rangers, who open their new stadiumGlobe Life Field in 2020, with the new synthetic turf for this season. In 2019, the Arizona Diamondbacks installed the same surface in Chase Field.

In an interview with Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republicin August, Diamondbacks infielder Nick Ahmedsaid he hadnt experienced any bad hops on the infield. Ahmed said the turf behaves as close to grass as any artificial surface on which he has played. He called it definitely slower than the grass.

This new synthetic system should play more realistically than other artificial surfaces like Astro-Turf. Notoriously fast and bouncy, Astro-Turf was said to impact player durability, leading to injuries. This is perhaps most notably associated former Marlin Andre Dawson, who played for 11 seasons on the artificial turf at Olympic Stadium for the Montreal Expos and had 12 knee surgeries.

Miami CEO Derek Jeter said the following in a press release regarding the new playing surface.

In going through the process of evaluating the playing surface at Marlins Park in 2019, we set out to find a solution to combat the challenges we have experienced with growing natural grass in Marlins Park. We appreciate the extensive research and new technology from our partners at Shaw Sports Turf to help us deliver a consistent playing field designed to enhance the safety for players and the playability for baseball.

Marlins Park will also feature slightly different dimensions in 2020. Straightaway center field will now be 400 feet from home, whereas it had been 407 feet for the last few years. In right-center field, the wall will now be 387 feet (previously 399).

The stadium has always been a pitchers park, but this adjustment may change that thinking.

On Beyond the Bases, Jeter is quoted about the new dimensions.

As we enhance the playing surface at Marlins Park, we felt it was also appropriate to take the opportunity to evaluate our outfield dimensions. We made the decision to adjust the distance of the outfield fence, which will now be more in line with the field dimensions you see across many of todays ballparks.

The Marlins were last in the MLB with 146 homers last season, 68 of which came at Marlins Park. According to Jordan McPhersons article today in the Miami Herald, the Marlins would have had 19 additional home runs last season with the new dimensions. McPherson notes the opposition would have also had 19 additional home runs playing at Marlins Park with the new distances.

While this change may affect the pitchers, its a positive move for the team. Having the ballparks dimension more in line with whats seen around the league will help market the team to free agents in the future.

Temple University fencing went 4-0 at the Sacred Heart Invitational in Fairfield, Connecticut this past weekend, defeating New York University, Brown University, Vassar College and host Sacred Heart University.

Temple opened up the day with a 22-5 defeat over NYU before defeating Brown 20-7 in the second match of the day.

The Owls took on Sacred Heart in their third match of the day, defeating the Pioneers 22-5.

Coach Nikki Franke said it was key for Temple to start out fast and carry their momentum throughout.

Our last meet we got out to a slow start and we werent really ready physically as well as mentally when we started, Franke said. So it was very important that they learned from that experience and they were ready to go.

Freshman sabre Zoe Turner led the team in wins, going 9-1 on the day.

Senior sabres Kerry Plunkett and Malia Hee both went 7-1. The two lost just five bouts each the entire day.

Franke commended the supportive leadership the sabres showed to the two freshmen in the squad.

Theyve become very supportive and close, really helping the two freshmen that are there. Theyre leaders, theyre excellent competitors and they set a very good tone, Franke said.

Sophomore Aryana Abtin and senior Kennedy Lovelace dominated in foil, going 8-0 on the day. Junior Megan Ross went 6-1

Junior epee Marielle Luke led the epee squad going 6-1. Freshman epees Margherita Calderaro and Sarah Park went 5-2.

This was Calderaros first team competition of the year, Franke said.

Franke said the squad leaders and captains took initiative to make sure each squad was prepared heading into the weekend.

We had a conversation about the importance of making sure we were prepared as a team, Franke said. That really paid off. They took the lead on that and made sure everyone was in a good place when we started.

Franke was pleased with how the Owls won a lot of close bouts and ploughed through each match with consistency.

I was very pleased with the performance of the team across the board. They were very consistent, Franke said. They were very focused, especially for the end of the semester. Its hard to pull in that focus, so I was pleased.

The Owls will be heading to Charlotte, N.C. on Jan. 3 for the January North American Cup.

Temple fencing goes undefeated at Sacred Heart Invitational - Temple News

By Bryan Mims, WRAL News reporter

Raleigh, N.C. Groups fighting plans for a rock quarry on land owned by the Raleigh-Durham International Airport are now protesting the plan to build a border fence.

The groups say the fence will close a popular access point to William B. Umstead State Park. RDU officials said the groups have been spreading misinformation.

For several years, signs reading "Stop RDU Quarry" have stood along the trail. In March, the RDU Airport Authority gave the go-ahead. Now, airport officials want a border fence in the area. They say it's for enhanced security and to keep trespassers off their land.

That set off dueling YouTube videos.

The first YouTube video came from a group called RDU Forest, which has been fighting to stop the expansion of the rock quarry on airport land. In the video, bicyclist Matt Thompson said RDU plans to block the Old Reedy Creek Road trail in two places with a fence.

The trail, well-used by hikers and cyclists, provides access from a parking area in Cary to Umstead State Park.

The second video came Monday from the airport. In it, the vice president of communications, Crystal Feldman, said that the airport has a request for bids to design fencing around airport property. She said Umstead State Park informed the airport that this road, built decades ago, runs through a corner of RDU land.

But what would that look like?

Airport spokeswoman Stephanie Hawco said it's likely the road would be realigned or built around the fence, but park access will not be blocked.

In a written statement, she said "activists are spreading misinformation" as "scare tactics."

Jeff Wald uses the trail regularly. What bothers him is the prospect of a tall, chain link fence on either side of the Reedy Creek access road.

"Still, this park is a beautiful gem for North Carolina," Wald said. "And do you want to welcome people to the park with a barbed wire tunnel? And that's what will be at the airport overlook and what will be at the entire entrance here."

An airport spokeswoman said the cost estimate for the fence is about $2.4 million. She said it's early in the process and the airport authority has not voted on any plans.

SWEETWATER COUNTY The Sweetwater County Commissioners hosted a 6th cent project workshop on Thursday, in which the different entities and organizations presented their proposed projects to the commissioners, laying out their needs and priorities.

Sweetwater County Deputy Attorney, John DeLeon, said the commissioners had two main tasks for the workshop, which were to figure out priority projects, and start to think about how the proposed projects should be presented on the ballot.

The commissioners have until roughly June 2020 to have the resolution completed to go on the ballot.

Advertisement - Story continues below...

The total proposed projects heading into the workshop totaled roughly $182 million.

That just absolutely wont fly, Commissioner Randy Wendling said.

The commissioners are all in agreement of getting the 6th penny tax down to about $80 million. While Chairman Johnson is looking at $80 million as a hard cap, the other commissioners are a bit more lenient.

Commissioner Lauren Schoenfeld said $80 million feels right, while Commissioner Roy Lloyd said he would go up to $90 million if needed. Commissioner Wendling said he could go up to $95 million, and Commissioner Jeff Smith said if the justification was there, he could go up to $100 million.

Commissioner Schoenfeld said the projects that will make the biggest impact throughout the county as a whole will be given top priority in her decision making. Chairman Johnson said population of the areas the projects are taking place in has to play a key part in where the funding goes.

Commissioner Lloyd echoed Schoenfeld and Johnson, saying the top priority should be given to the projects that have the most impact on the entire county and are proportionate to the size of the community. He added that they should focus on projects that will grow the community economically.

The entities presented their projects and totals to the commissioners, and set their priority projects.

The list of amounts and projects, ordered as presented, are listed below:

According to Bairoil, the water and sewer lines break often, and costs them up to $25,000 to $30,000 to fix every time for repairs. The water projects would cost roughly $1.25 million.

The commissioners mostly agreed that they would support allocating the $1.25 million for the priority projects.

The water pipeline is over 40 years old, and similar to Bairoil, it breaks often and has costed the Town of Granger roughly $75,000 over the last four years to repair. The Hams Fork River extension is needed during the construction of the water intake pipeline, so the projects go hand in hand. The cost of these two projects would cost just under $2 million.

Johnson, Schoenfeld, and Wendling said they would give about $1.3 to $1.8 million for their priority projects. Commissioners Lloyd and Smith were undecided.

Proposed Sponsored Projects

With a six-month waiting list for childcare, and with the YWCA being one of the only places in the county that takes infants as young as 6-weeks old, they are in need of expanding their building and program.

Commissioners Lloyd, Schoenfeld, and Johnson were in support of funding the YWCAs intiative.

The airport funding is a local match for an $18.5 million terminal modernization project. However, the grant for the project could come through anytime between now and the next few years, so the 6th penny money may not be used immediately if granted.

The commissioners were all unsure about funding this project, however, Chairman Johnson leaned towards not funding it, as the funds might not be used for several years.

According to Heather Anderson, one of the main organizers behind the multi-use recreation facility project, there is limited gym space in Rock Springs between 4 and 9 pm. Rather than a complete recreation center, the facility would be a field house where different activities and organizations can book gym space more easily.

Anderson said the facility would be a quality of life project, and she would not mind if it went onto the ballot as its own initiative. She hopes the project would increase the amount of sporting events and tournaments the county could host, which would increase the amount of revenue coming into the county.

Rock Springs Councilman Rob Zotti said the estimated revenue presented to the City of Rock Springs would be $450,000 each year. He said he is skeptical of that estimate, but thats what has been estimated.

Commissioner Lloyd said he understands that Green River has less people and less demand, but pointed out that Green River has made due with gym space. He said he has received several calls in support of this project, but that he still struggles to see the priority of the project.

Chairman Johnson however, has had many calls against this project. Commissioner Smith said that whether or not the calls have been in support or against, they have heard a lot of feedback from the community on this one initiative. Due to this, he believes the county may want to present it on the ballot and leave it up to the residents to vote yes or no.

Superior currently only has one reliable well, so an additional well is needed. The original water pipes were placed about 35 years ago and are nearly at their life expectancy.

The commissioners all supported funding this in full.

Wamsutter got half of the Gateway West impact funding that the county went after recently, however, none of those funds went towards these projects. Chairman Johnson expressed his disappointment that they did not include these projects on their list when they went after that funding.

Wamsutter Mayor Joe Erickson said at some point, the smaller communities in Sweetwater County have to start making improvements if they want to increase residency. He said the industrial loop and the water lines projects go hand in hand, as the water lines must be replaced while they are repairing the industrial loop.

Commissioner Wendling supported funding the top two priority projects. The rest of the commissioners said cuts needed to be made but were not sure where to make those cuts yet.

For the operating room to meet regulatory requirements, the HVAC units will have to be replaced at the same time of renovations. The commissioners are leaning towards support funding MHSC in full. Chairman Johnson and Commissioner Lloyd both pointed out that the hospital benefits the entire county, so it has the most impact.

Entities that are not municipalities cannot go for 6th penny funding on their own, so they must be sponsored by a municipality. The county said they could sponsor MHSC.

Chairman Johnson and Commissioners Lloyd and Smith supported funding the hospitals initiative in full. Commissioners Schoenfeld and Wendling said they would support funding the top two projects for sure, and possibly the third.

The Events Complex initially presented the commissioners with a $24 million proposal, and have since scaled back to these three projects.

Zotti, who also serves on the fair board, noted that the Events Complex is the one thing the county has that makes Sweetwater a destination community. Therefore, there are not only quality of life benefits attached to the complex, but economic benefits as well.

At this time, Chairman Johnson and Commissioner Smith support funding the Events Complex in full. Commissioners Schoenfeld, Lloyd, and Wendling support funding the priority projects, and are open to funding the third project as well.

The county would like to sponsor the Events Complex.

The sewer collection system has several structural issues that has been causing clogging and backups. The lagoon has extensive solid accumulation, capacity overflow, and is currently violating OSHA standards. Therefore, the lagoon must be improved.

Current sewer rates in Reliance is $60, whereas the target range is $20 to $30. With 6th penny funding, they could make improvements to the collection system and lagoon, and lower rates to about $27.

As of now, all the commissioners support funding these proposals in full. The county would like to sponsor this initiative.

The sewer line would allow for growth in the Jamestown area, as it would provide wastewater transfer for developers. The commissioners are all in support of this project, and would like to sponsor it.

The existing clinic was built 40 years ago, and they had outgrown that facility, according to CRHD CEO Bailie Dockter. The construction of the new facility will be completed in Winter 2020. Inititally, they were trying to pay for the new clinic through debt services, and the projected pay off date for that is 40 years.

If they received 6th penny funding, they would be able to use other money to increase services offered by hiring more providers. They would like to expand hours to include weekends, and they would like to bring in behavioral health services.

Chairman Johnson said he would like to get CRHD on the ballot, but suggested they get $1 million instead of their full proposal. The other commissioners agreed they would like to see them on the ballot but were unsure of how much funding to allocate at this time.

Green River Mayor Pete Rust said the council believes the 6th penny funding is the tool they have available to the community to get necessary projects done.

We dont need to apologize for coming in and asking for the needs that we have identified and believe in, Mayor Rust said.

Green River City Administrator, Reed Clevenger, said they narrowed down infrastructure projects to what they believe they can get done on a 4-year timeline.

Setting Priorities

Chairman Johnson said the commissioners had a hard time telling what the citys priorities were. Clevenger said roads and infrastructure are the priorities, but that they need to know how much funding theyll be given to determine which projects can be done.

You telling me you have $80 million or $90 million still doesnt do me any good. Are you doing it off of people base, tax base, or what weve done in the past? Clevenger said.

Johnson said if the commissioners knew the citys priorities, that would influence the amount of money they would allocate to the City of Green River.

Clevenger said the proposed projects in their entirety are the citys priorities.

Commissioner Smith said $44 million is over half the 6th penny budget and that the commissioners are probably not going to be comfortable with allocating that much to one community.

Clevenger said they would have to go back to council and figure out priorities, which Commissioner Schoenfeld asked them to do as soon as possible and send their priorities to her.

Until the priorities are set, the commissioners are unsure how much they would like to allocate to the City of Green River.
