DISCUSSION ON RESPONSES RECEIVED FROM DEPARTMENTS, EMPLOYEES AND BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS Ms. Maddox said the bullet points are items that were requested to be carried forward from the last meeting to be able to keep track of these particular concerns. She asked if there were any further discussion or if anyone would like to add to these items. She noted the items were pulled forward to get additional information when meeting with the various departments. Ms. Garson said these items were added to the agenda in case the Commissioners wanted further discussion. When the subcommittees meet with their departments, these are items to consider. She stated if there will be no further discussion on these items, it will not be pulled forward on future agendas. Ms. Maddox was of the understanding that the group expressed some kind of interest in these items and were interested in getting more information from the departments. K3
