Staff can provide these workshops again since we have a new commissioner. The
Commission may wish to discuss which topics would be of greatest interest to the
Commission and how frequently and at which time the workshops should be held.
Typically, workshops have been held at 6:00 p.m., just prior to regularly scheduled
Commission meetings. Workshops could be scheduled on a regular basis, or as
needed.
