Change of Meeting Start Time
Motion by Ron Eliason to move the meeting start time to 6:30 p.m. from 7 p.m.  Mrs. Fraser called for discussion.  Mrs. Fraser stated that the 7 p.m. time is better for her due to her family responsibilities.  Mr. Eliason believes that with a 6:30 p.m. start more people would be willing to attend the Zoning Commission meetings. Mrs. Fraser suggested that a change in time for special topics, as an example Senator Grendell or State Representative Dolan discussion with the Zoning Commission, which the Zoning Commission could allow for more time. Ms. Loisdaughter said that she could change to 6:30 p.m. or stay with 7 p.m.  Mrs. Cox said that she prefers the 7 p.m. meeting time because of work, but would change for a special topic.  Mrs. Scheuring said she would agree to the move if it would get more people to the meeting.  Mrs. Fraser called for a second to the motion.  There being no second, the motion died.
