Summary

During public comment, Paola resident Beth Klinger said a recent gathering was a group of concerned citizens preparing petitions related to a planning commission decision scheduled for July 29 and asked commissioners to consider those petitions when they vote.

Beth Klinger, a Paola resident, told the Miami County commissioners during the public-comment period that a crowd referenced at a prior meeting was a group of concerned citizens, not a ‘mob.’ She said many in the community were preparing petitions and letters related to a planning commission decision set for July 29 and asked the commission to consider those materials when they deliberate.

"Just wanted to state that, it was concerned citizens, it wasn't 1 person," Klinger said, identifying herself and giving her address. She said petition signatures and letters will be forthcoming and asked the commission to factor that public input into their July 29 vote.

The remarks occurred during the meeting's public-comment period; commissioners did not take formal action on the planning item at this meeting. The planning issue Klinger referenced remains scheduled for the commission's July 29 agenda.
