During This pandemic it has become clear that some people cannot go to public meetings without risking their health or even their life. It is been my experience, especially at the planning commission that emails, letters, phone calls, and petitions don't seem to carry as much weight as personal participation in the meeting. I have heard several comments from the dais that is people care they would show up. That is not always possible. Please consider that in your deliberations.
