Guernsey County commissioners met with representatives from other county agencies to discuss assessment concerns raised by the owner of property on Clay Pike Road.
The assessments were levied in 2006 in connection with a waterline construction project completed by the county. The property owner does not believe she should have to pay the assessments because some of the property was sold, said Commissioner Jack Marlin. But, the property owner is required to pay the assessment connected with their parcel.
According to county officials, the initial 20-year assessment in question was divided into seven assessments when the property was transferred from the previous owner to his son and daughter-in-law.

According to documents provided by the Guernsey County Map Department, 13 homes are planned for the 24-acre subdivision northwest of the city. The proposal (for Pleasant Valley Subdivision) was submitted a few years ago and the new owners have requested to continue the process, said Shannon Leek of the map department.

The Daily Jeffersonian
Guernsey County commissioners on Monday approved a three-year contract with Axon to provide high-resolution body cameras for corrections officers at the county jail.
The county will lease the body cameras while Axon provides maintenance services and video storage at a cost of approximately $10,000 a year. This will help ensure the county against liability by clearly documenting every encounter between the jail staff and an inmate at the county jail, said Commissioner Dave Wilson.
Axon currently provides cameras and video storage for road deputies in the county.
