REPORTS
603. Commissioner Seat Two - Rick Brown
Commissioner Brown suggested, "Starting the Meetings earlier - since the 5:15 [p.m.]
worked so well tonight...." Commissioner Brown added, ".. . We might get a better
night's work in if we began earlier than 6:30 [p.m.]." Commissioner Krebs inquired,
"Would that change our ending time from 11:00 [p.m.] to 10:00 [p.m.]?"
Deputy Mayor McGinnis remarked, "Yes." Mayor Bush stated, "You could change the
ending time as well." Commissioner Brown noted, "We would just call it at 10:00
[p.m.]." Deputy Mayor McGinnis remarked, "Yes." Commissioner Krebs commented,
"I will do it."
Commissioner Miller noted, "I would like to start early also, so I will support
Commissioner Brown."
Manager McLemore remarked, "Just a suggestion, to 'Agenda' this for the next Meeting.
At least it will be out there for people to see and you can have this discussion in front of
them. "
Commissioner Brown then stated, "I think the time is appropriate, now that we are going
to be able to broadcast our Meetings." Mayor Bush noted, "5:15 [p.m.] start time, ten
o'clock [p.m.] would be the end time." Commissioner Krebs added, "If it is a problem
with 'Public Input', then perhaps we can hold 'Public Input' at the end - or something
like that."
Furthermore, Commissioner Krebs suggested, "What you could do, is you could also
rearrange when we have - our Informational [Agenda] and our Consent [Agenda], maybe
bring that even forward." Commissioner Krebs added, "'Public Hearings', we could
reschedule - at a time." Mayor Bush then said, "It will be on the Agenda next time."
Manager McLemore remarked, "The direction is to put it on the Agenda." Mayor Bush
said, "Yes." Deputy Mayor McGinnis stated, "Absolutely."
