fees and water tap fees to the Town for Heroes Hall. Second Cavey. Council  
unanimously approved.

accusing Council of being on the take, or that the County threatened Castle Rock  
by taking away funding if they don't support Home Rule. She suggested the  
keyboard warriors educate themselves and to quit spreading lies. The June ballot  
question is to elect people to be on the board to write the charter. There will be

approve the charter or not.
