Barry County chair flags trial to stop Committee of the Whole meetings
Summary
Chair David Jackson told the board July 1 that an agenda request will propose a fourth-quarter trial to eliminate Committee of the Whole meetings and instead conduct all business at regular Board of Commissioners meetings; no vote was taken.
Chair David Jackson told commissioners at the July 1 Committee of the Whole meeting that an agenda request is expected proposing a trial period in the fourth quarter during which the county would eliminate Committee of the Whole meetings and conduct all business under the regular Board of Commissioners meetings. Jackson characterized this as an agenda request only; the minutes record no formal motion or vote on the change.
Commissioner comments that meeting included routine calendar items: Commissioner Marsha Bassett said she will attend an Orangeville Township meeting later that evening; Commissioner Mike Callton invited colleagues to a Strawberry Shortcake Social at the Nashville Community Garden at 6:00 p.m.; Commissioner Bruce Campbell warned colleagues to be cautious after striking a raccoon with his vehicle the previous night. Chair Jackson also reported that Drain Commissioner Dull is interested in presenting a "Drain 101" session lasting one to two hours.
The minutes record these items as commissioner comments and announcements; the board did not take formal action to change meeting structure at this session. The Committee of the Whole adjourned after the recorded business.
