SW: Is there any other commission member that has any questions. <br /> <br />AA: Chair Abraham – District 5. In the charter – always from the charter – 6-9.3 – you only <br />get \[interruption\] county, state and federal agencies on any matter affecting the <br />\[unclear\] but, why do you have only the county highlighted in that, you know, it says, a <br />Commission shall… <br /> <br />SW: Yes, so, because we are a county commission our first and foremost priority is going to <br />be the County. Our responsibility is going to be the County first, um, state and federal <br />agencies – because we are a county entity – can decide to 100% ignore us. But because <br />GMAC is a county commission and are directly supposed to report to the county council <br />– that is our main \[unclear\] that’s why I highlighted that. I wanted to remind everyone <br />involved, everyone on this meeting that the county is the first entity that we should be <br />reporting to as far as what are the Commission’s recommendations. I’m not saying that <br />you can’t, ah, advise state and federal agencies, you can, you can, it’s just… <br /> <br />AA: \[Unclear\] even just the federal government can’t just go on and ignore us, right, but, <br />we’ve been working with them for a while so… <br /> <br />SW: I’m not saying that you should stop working with them… <br /> <br />AA: Well, you should still have them highlighted in there… I know the primary thing is the <br />County but, you know… <br /> <br />SW: But it – would it make you feel better if I highlighted it right now… <br /> <br />AA: It does not say when asked upon, – you know, the Chairman before me and the people <br />that put GMAC together they really emphasized all that so… I don’t want you to come in <br />and just throw it away on the side because there’s other people that came before me <br />and came before all these Commissioners and fought very hard for this – just like they <br />fought very hard for our meetings to stay night time and you guys choose to change it to <br />day time, right. So, again, you guys put in, you guys just throwing the people to the side. <br /> <br />SW: I’m sorry that you have these opinions, Chair. <br /> <br />AA: Yeah, well, I’m not the only one. <br /> <br />SW: I understand. I didn’t really see – I didn’t hear a question in that. Did I answer your <br />question? <br /> <br />AA: Yeah, cause, yeah, you highlighted it but there’s another one down on the bottom. <br /> <br />SW: Is that agencies or state and federal? <br /> <br />12 <br /> <br /> <br />
