District 6 resident asks whether GRU advisory committee was resolved before executive decision
Summary
At the April 1 meeting, Barbara Patterson, a District 6 resident and former GRU advisory committee member, asked whether the committee's status was resolved when the Executive Committee acted; Chairman Houston said citizens could continue to meet in an advisory capacity.
During the public-comment portion of Barnwell County's April 1 special called meeting, Barbara Patterson of District 6, who said she served on the Generations Unlimited Advisory Committee, asked whether the advisory committee was formally dissolved when the Executive Committee made its decision. Patterson told council she had concerns about the committee's status and sought clarity on whether citizens could continue to provide input.
Chairman Freddie L. Houston Sr. replied that citizens could continue to meet in an advisory capacity and share ideas with council, but the transcript does not record any formal directive or written guidance to the advisory committee. The meeting record shows no further public commenters on this issue and no subsequent formal action to memorialize or close the advisory body.
