PUBLIC COMMENTS
George Dawes, a resident of Trinity Area School District, raises concern regarding the high increase

responded that Director of Administration Scott Fergus would discuss this issue with Mr. Dawes.
Mr. Shober did reply that the Commissioners have no control over what the school district decide.
He said he was in touch with the Department of Education mainly because there were so many homeowners
that had a large increase in their school tax bill which looks to be about an 18% increase. Mr. Dawes
responded that state law states this is to be revenue neutral. Mr. Maggi again requested that Mr. Dawes
speaks to Scott Fergus, who is in attendance.
