Home

SW: OK. So, we have a motion posed by Chair Abraham, we need a second. NR: Natalie, District – 7. I second the motion to divide the district up. Action: A motion was made by A. Antonio to separate the Commissioners into two separate PIGs. One dealing with East side, and one dealing with the West side of the Island. Commissioners will be divided equally, four on each side. The motion was seconded by N. Reynolds. Motion passed unanimously by voice pole votes with 6 ayes, 2 excused. LT: OK.
