Residents urge a county park authority and ask commissioners to reconsider meeting times and livestreaming
Summary
During public comments, Georgetown resident Mike Horn proposed a county-operated Park Authority; others praised recent county fiscal management and asked the board to reconsider live-streaming and meeting times to improve access for citizens.
Several residents addressed the Brown County Board of Commissioners during the public comment portion of the March 16 meeting.
Mike Horn of Georgetown presented the idea of creating a county-operated Park Authority and described potential benefits and possible locations. Rebecca Wallace of Clark Township thanked the board, including former Commissioner Daryll Gray, for actions she credited with improving county facilities, retiring debt and maintaining a balanced budget.
Paul Riley asked Commissioner Barry Woodruff to defend the board's decision not to live-stream meetings, raising concerns about public access. Blair Jones of Sterling Township urged the board to consider scheduling meetings later in the day to better accommodate citizens who cannot attend morning sessions.
The journal records the topics raised but does not show any board response, immediate policy direction, or commitments to change meeting times or livestreaming policy during the session.
