• During the public comment period, the commissions hear multiple comments about Commissioner Timm’s confrontation with Dennis Carlton several weeks ago. Commissioner Timm agrees that he acted badly.

• Others making comments are opposed to the shortened hours at the fairgrounds the commissioners instituted because of the unauthorized horse racing.
• One man said that the Roads Department was cutting trees as “busy work”. Commissioner Hover said he will ask Public Works about the situation.

• Several people said in their comments that they know the commissioners don’t want to hold the Fair anymore, and both Commissioners Neal and Hover responded that they’d never said that.
