    At this work session, the CSFO, Paula Bird, noted that the commission is still receiving only $80 per bingo machine from each of the four bingo facilities in the county, instead of the $85 per machine as Greene County Sheriff Jonathan Benison agreed to in the court settlement.
    The commission was also informed that the state is changing its process for printing tags and since a new printer is needed in the Probate Judge’s office, this purchase would facilitate the county’s adherence to these changes.
    Rafe Banks, with West Rock box plant in Eutaw, informed the commission that the company is looking to expand the business in the near future and will be needing more land. West Rock is interested in acquiring the county’s property that is adjacent to the box plant facility. Banks clarified that no formal request is made at this time.
    There were some comments on what seemingly is a new bingo gaming facility in Knoxville. The commissioners noted that they were not informed of the new business and were not aware of the owners, although the building is fully erected and gaming machines are installed.
