Commissioners explained the various avenues residents can use to provide public comment on proposed county charter amendments, such as speaking at town halls, submitting online forms, or emailing the commission directly. They emphasized that this public feedback is critical for helping the 15-member body determine which proposals have enough community support to place on the ballot. When commenting during the meeting, attendees were instructed to clearly state their names and specify whether they favor, oppose, or remain neutral on specific amendments.

What was said
39:30 that comes down from the state, 'cause when we do our biannual updates, the vast majority of our code updates are from state direction, and we don't have any control over that. So I think the intent is to, the changes that we make at the county level that we evaluate, and I understand that thought pattern, but when we can't control it because it's driven by the state legislature, it seems a bit unnecessary. - Thank you. - Council Member Young, could you remind me what amendment that was? - 2607. - 2607. - 2607, okay. - Do we have any more questions before we maybe pivot to public comment? - Mine is a comment, so I can wait if there's other questions.

Do I need to stand up? - Just make sure you state your name for the record, please. - My name's Deanna Catan, I'm in District 2. So my main comment is that I'm concerned about the financial impacts for the total in different levels. Number one, the amount of amendments, each one costs money to go on the ballot, so that makes me concerned about having a lot of amendments that A, may or may not be popular, B, may lean more partisan than others, or C, may not be necessary. I have been following along, and I am a huge proponent of the ethics one, and I would love to see an increase
41:23 in the number of the ethics in the commission, but it sounds like that might be a code fix as well, and so I really would love for you all to be very cognizant of what can we do in different ways that isn't gonna cost extra money,
