A proposal for more Hamilton County Commission meetings has been tabled until the county’s legal committee can do a study on the impact of evening meetings.
The commission voted Wednesday to hold off on a resolution introduced last week by District 5 Commissioner Katherlyn Geter to host additional meetings for matters of specific public interest.
Commissioners now meet Wednesdays at 9:30 a.m., which interferes with many working people’s schedules, prompting the recent implementation of a live streaming service for all commission meetings as well as discussion about alternative meeting times.
On principal, the idea was well received by commissioners, but logistical concerns prevailed.
District 3 Commissioner Greg Martin suggested the meetings discussion be handed to the appropriate committee, which Chairwoman Sabrena Smedley deemed to be the legal committee, of which Martin is chairman.
