Commissioner Yuhasz said that he brought this up two years ago and he is concerned <br /> that all of the regular meetings are at night because some people can never attend at night. <br /> He wants to recognize that there are people that cannot drive at night or get childcare, etc. <br /> He does not want to ignore these needs. <br /> Commissioner Gordon said that it is important to take the public into account but they <br /> need to pick times that all County Commissioners can come. She suggested trying a couple <br /> of work sessions during the day, as long as the County Commissioners can come. She <br /> confirmed that they would not change the calendar for this year for days when a <br /> Commissioner is unavailable. <br /> Frank Clifton said that many Board of County Commissioners members serve on other <br /> boards. He suggested having Greg Wilder and Donna Baker to look at two recommended <br /> dates for two work sessions to change to daytime, after the budget process. <br /> The Board agreed. <br /> Chair Pelissier suggested having three work sessions per year during the day. <br /> The Board agreed to leave it flexible and have two or three work sessions per year <br /> during the day. <br /> 3.
