She also thinks that it would be helpful for those Commissioners that could <br /> not attend the public information session to get written information on what was covered. <br /> Commissioner Carey said that the last few comments of Commissioner Foushee <br /> summed up his concerns. He said that he was expecting to get a summary of these public <br /> sessions as well as responses from Olver. <br /> Bob Sallach said that two public meetings have been conducted, as well as one <br /> meeting with the Human Relations Commission, and they are in the process of compiling <br /> information to bring back to the Board of County Commissioners. He will provide the <br /> summary of the questions and answers from the public sessions.
