To all involved,
I am experiencing transportation failure that will preclude me from returning as I had scheduled for the
meeting on this date.
I hope this body might defer any significant action on the HRO to the next available meeting. This
transportation circumstance is beyond my control, and I have information concerning specific issues that I
wanted to present to Mayor Pro Tem Beckenbach from discussion from our last meeting. I told him I
would provide this information and language that may remove the problematic parts that create the
exposures. I believe emailing it may have sunshine implications so I request an opportunity at our next
scheduled meeting to do so.
I would like to remind everyone that when one of my fellow commissioners had an emergency in the
family it was my suggestion to defer this issue even though I had made arrangements to have a speaker
address the issue at hand. Due to the magnitude of this issue and the effects that it will have on our
citizens no opportunity should be missed to protect them from unnecessary exposer to litigation. There is
big news on the national stage that is an exact example of what I have been so concerned about with this
ordinance as it is written. I hope that I might be offered the same courtesy that was afforded to others and
respectfully request action on the HRO be deferred until the next meeting.
Thank you in advance for this courtesy
Commissioner Jimmy Hill
