Commissioner Michael Hicks announced yesterday through an email to one of his constituents saying “Please be advised that due to a majority of commissioners being unavailable due to vacation and work commitments, the listening session on Thursday, Aug 4 will not be held.”
These meetings were requested by the community to allow time for them to share their concerns, ask questions or request subjects be addressed during the regularly scheduled Commission meetings the second Tuesday of each month. It is unfortunate that the meetings have now been canceled multiple times. While the community does understand the need for vacations and other obligations, it is the ”multiple times” that brings concern as to whether or not the community is being heard.
