During a recent government meeting, concerns were raised regarding the short notice of the agenda, which was distributed less than 24 hours prior to the meeting. One commissioner expressed dissatisfaction with the lack of information provided, particularly regarding costs associated with staffing county-owned offices that are currently operated by the courts. The commissioner emphasized the need for better communication and transparency moving forward.

Despite these concerns, the meeting proceeded to a vote on a motion related to the existing infrastructure of these offices, which passed with a majority. Commissioner Winder and another commissioner voted in favor, while Commissioner Devello opposed the motion.

In closing remarks, a commissioner praised Frank, the director of elections, for his leadership during a critical election year. Acknowledging the stress and challenges faced by the election team, the commissioner highlighted the importance of delivering free and fair elections. They also addressed the divisive atmosphere surrounding elections, urging the public to engage in civil discourse and to support their candidates without resorting to negative or hateful rhetoric. The commissioner called for a collective effort to lower tensions and focus on constructive engagement as the election date approaches.
