NorCo Council Appropriates $4,000 for Centenarian Luncheon on November 10

At their November 6 meeting, NorCo Council voted 8-0 to appropriate $4,000 from their contingency fund for this year's annual centenarian luncheon on November 10 at Green Pond Country Club. Executive Lamont McClure had postponed the event as a result of the state budget impasse. 

Council member Ron Heckman said it was a "sad state of affairs" that the county was unable to come up with $4,000 from a half billion-dollar budget to honor people who've lived even longer than him. 

Council member Ken Kraft, participating by phone, was unable to vote. The other eight Council members voted Yes. 

NorCo Council Footing Bill For Centenarian Lunch?

Earlier this week, I told you that NorCo's annual lunch for centenarians has been rescheduled for November 10. That lunch had been scheduled to take place at Green Pond Country Club, but Executive Lamont McClure postponed it as a result of the state budget impasse. There's still no resolution on that front, so who's footing the bill. 

A few weeks ago, Council President Lori Vargo Heffner suggested that Council's contingency funds could be used. Next week, County Council will consider and vote on a resolution to pay the tab.
