The existing commission has had problems maintaining a quorum. With meetings closer to <br /> member's homes they will be better able to attend. <br /> . It is physically impossible for a Planning commission members to look at every property that they <br /> must vote on, which is the only way they can truly make an informed vote. <br /> . As we've seen on other issues, the problems on the West side are significantly different than on <br /> the east side of the island, such as water quality, run-off affecting reefs and fishing, traffic <br /> control and unchecked growth. Commission members can be better informed about their areas if <br /> they are able to concentrate on the east or west sides of our island. <br /> But most importantly, the voters have a chance to make their wishes heard by voting on this Charter <br /> amendment, please trust the wisdom of the citizens of the island. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Debbie Hecht <br /> P.O.
