She suggested telling the boards that they can continue to submit comments until <br />April 19t" <br />Commissioner Foushee asked if the comments from the listening sessions would be made <br />available. Craig Benedict responded explaining the process. <br />Jahn Link said that December 13t" is the last meeting of the year, and this is a big item and <br />perhaps a big item such as the Comprehensive Plan should not be presented at the last <br />meeting. <br />Chair Carey suggested that the Board approve the part of the schedule up to April 19t". The <br />Board agreed. <br />D. OTHER ITEMS <br />E.
