What Was Said:
Commissioner Adams – Is anyone opposed to deferring?
Commissioner Evans – I am. I kinda understand your request but then again I don’t. You have a full board here, you have a quorum. What happens at the next meeting if the same individuals don’t show up or you don’t show up and you keep delaying it until you have a full seven member board? It just doesn’t make sense to me. Everybody gets a copy of the agenda. Everybody knew what was on the agenda tonight and then you have commissioners that didn’t show up. I don’t think it’s right to you (the developer) and it’s not right to this board. I think we need to act on this. It doesn’t make sense to put this off because you have 3 other members…were the other board members excused? Was it an excused absence?
Commissioner Adams – Mr. Keefe wasn’t feeling well. We had the meeting upstairs and he wasn’t feeling well.
Commissioner Evans – But he was here?
Commissioner Adams – Yes, but he said he wasn’t feeling well.
Commissioner Evans – What about Michael and Larry?
Commissioner Adams – Mr. Boose had some medical issues and Mr. Lancaster wasn’t feeling well.
Commssioner Evans – WOW
