STAFF COMMENTS
COMMISSIONER COMMENTS
Alan Schmitt said he was out of town for 2 weeks and came back with hay fever. He hadn't
heard about Jackson's until tonight. It's something that he thinks the commission will have
a good role to play but we have private property rights on both sides and how to sort it
through will take some time. He hopes the commission and assembly can proceed in a
way that's fairest for the most people in the common good. Schmitt gave a history of the
Code Revision process and the need to connect any future efforts to the Comp Plan.

Maria Painter stated she wanted to let the public know that they are heard. What to do is
the question. We could as commissioners and the approval of the assembly ease some of
the regulations in the mobile home park area in that district. It's not going to fund moving
your trailer and where to go. Painter encouraged the citizens to stay involved. We need to
work hard and think about what we can do for this big problem in the community because it
will affect everyone. Attend the assembly meetings, talk to the people who can make a
difference, talk to the state, be active, and be collective as a group.
