Trust me, Mr. Arends and I do NOT see eye to eye on many political things, but when it comes to joint jurisdiction, I hear him. During the joint county meeting tonight he basically told the council they are trying to take control of an area (joint jurisdiction) where the constituents in that jurisdiction can only vote for county commissioners but NOT city councilors (out of city limits). As Joel said it, ‘taxation without representation.’ After his mini rant the city council really didn’t know how to react. Not sure what the heck the Planning Director was talking about. In my humble political opinion there should be NO joint jurisdiction areas. You either are in the county fully or the city fully or both. Those are your 3 choices. I don’t think the city council should have ANY authority over someone who doesn’t live in the city limits.
