Phil Thompson asked the BOC a third time what was the disposition of an invoice, dated June 18, 2012, from the planning department at this week’s meeting. Earlier this year, interim commissioner, Cam Parry, interceded at the apparent behest of governance advisory committee chairman, Bill Grile, on behalf of Michael and Lynda Cole regarding an application for a discreet parcel determination. The planning department found, essentially, that the matter did not qualify as a land use matter without additional information which the Cole’s did not provide.
Parry and Messerle involved county counsel and during an executive session which probably did not qualify for exemption from the public, ultimately instructed planning to simply assume everything was in order and to approve the parcel changes. This could qualify as preferential treatment and by intruding on the matter, Parry cost planning $3,220.75 which should have been paid by the Cole’s but was instead billed to the general fund.
Messerle has avoided answering the question of the invoice each time and this time claimed not to know anything about it even after he signed and approved it last month. Commissioner Bob Main refused to approve the invoice and passed it on to Parry prior to Tuesday’s meeting. Parry was unusually quiet during this line of questioning especially since the invoice was likely already approved by him or still sitting on his desk at the time.
As stated before – out and out proof that Freddy was caught with his fingers in the coonty’s citizens cookie jar. There the proof is in black and white. Cam will or likely has signed this document. Shame on Fred for his corruption and Cam for his complicity. With all the needs we have in this county for more law enforcement, better health services etc. these two APPOINTED Commissioners seem to think our taxes are their private funds to share with their friends. The problem isn’t with the system, it’s with the people who were appointed to their positions. Neither one took the information/classes offered by the Association of Oregon Counties. Apparently they think they know anything.!
Well put, themguys. Fred is either addled or lying and either way it is bad for the rest of us
Since Ol Fred works for US, how do we make him answer? Doesn’t he have a fiduciary responsibility to his employers? Enough of this nonsense, how long is the state of Oregon going to allow this old coot to keep this up? He’s just fartiing and pullin up the covers at this point. These clowns, Parry and Messer lie have to be dealt with by authorities.
Cam? Fred? This county is NOT your damned personal litter box. Moving streambeds? Ex. sessions for favors? It continues on and on and on.
Time for some repercussions. How many times does Fred get a pass?
