I would like to Thank the Charter board for its last 15 minutes of discussion on Nov. 28th Charter Board Meeting. Rather than the Chairman chuckling at the citizens request to know the Founding Mothers and Fathers, this should have been welcomed. And, in fact - the discussion you folks had was very helpful and comments were fair. This is not some growing trend, we tracked the 2014 Charter Board members and discussions much more closely.
It would be nice if the remote District meetings could be streamed with TEAMs as well. We are sure there is bandwidth at each site, all it takes is an admin/Coord. laptop - and use DHCP not a hard IP - Im sure the Media Team can support this.
The board has acted responsibly and with integrity. We can have honorable opposition with respect to growing Government, just don't deny this is growing Government. As for discussion of the process, the question was about the selection of Board members in closed session with no Citizen review or input. This is not just any board. You folks are writing a County Constitution.
Totally agree with keeping By District for the 4 district counselor and an At Large Counsel President. With the proposed Executive of course being At Large. This would give you the best chance with less confusion of redistricting or Taking Away the By District Vote citizens worked for years on. Dottery Butler Washington was SPOT ON!! Thank you all for your service.
