invited commissioners to their Planning and Zoning Meeting April 22nd-
where they will be going over more proposed ordinance changes and the annual

Kevin Lynch asked McCormack
about Fire and EMS wanting to be
asked about capacity to cover new developments. McCormack said they have been
having issues with getting timely responses from them and developers having
issues with being held up with their response. Notifying them would be
different from asking for a response. They will discuss this further in the

property.
