All members are invited to attend, though it is not mandatory. John Harris hopes that the local newspaper and radio station will attend the BOS meeting to hear the proposal and discussion.

Pam would like a form created for the commission member’s use, when a complaint comes in. The form is a way to keep all the information and timelines in order.
