HomeMy WebLinkAbout74-104W~i~REAS, this Board finds that meetings of the County Planning Commission an.d other county commissions, as well as special night meetir~gs of tlze Board of ~upervisors, that extend beyon.d 11:00 p.m. create considerable hardship upon the public. Our commissions are made up of individuals who k~ave pu~ in, a full-days work, in their own vocations, an.d to ask these individuals who are serving the people of the County of Butte to work beyond 11:00 p.m. can only result in exhaustion of the members of our commissions, in, that by even going to 11:00 p.m. most members of our commissions ~I1 be putting in a 16-hour daq. To the members ot the pv.blic who have business before tnese ~ommissions, as well as our Board during the specia~. night meetings, a meeting that is going to go to 1:00 a.m. or 2:00 a.m. in the morning creates considerable hardsha.p, and kxas the abvious ultimate result of discouragi~g the desa.red public attendance and participation. The members of the pub].ic wh.o must wait around until. midnight and hours atter~ards, whi~h has been the unfortunate experience because of heavy agendas, also have already put in a fu11-days worls„ and ~o ask them to be available for discussion of the items in which they have an interest at hours raz~,ging frvm 12 midnight to 2:00 a.m. in ~he morning is certainly a disservice to those members of the public. NOW, THEREFORE, BE ~T RESOLVED AS FOLLOWS: 1.
