PUBLIC COMMENT
Mr. James Lapinski, 6501 Jack Rogers Lane, appeared about the 600 foot letter that he received for something that was on the agenda. When he arrived he found out the agenda item was pulled. He asked that a letter be sent out again stating the item was pulled from the agenda because then people won't unnecessarily take time off of their jobs to attend the meeting.
His concern is that the homeowner at 6501 Caton Farm Road has not followed the annexation agreement guidelines accordingly.
