Under New Business: 

Commissioner Reeves moved to approve cancellation of Thursday, May 24, 2018 Commission Meeting. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Holt. Commissioner Mercer commented that this request just came up during the Work Session, and he was concerned whether any consideration was given to Commissioner Daugherty having an item to add to the agenda. Commissioner Holt suggested if Commissioner Daugherty had anything significant, the Chairman could contact him and contact the other Commissioners to change directions within the timeframe required by law. Commissioner Reeves stated that he has been on the Commission a long time saying if it's pressing right now, it would still be appropriate at the next meeting. Reeves added that he didn't see anything pressing right now that would come up by the next meeting. Chairman Stubbs said it would be difficult to say what Commissioner Daugherty's constituents may or may not have. The Chairman mentioned the liquor license fundraiser on the current agenda for the fundraiser at the lake that came in late. He reiterated that it's difficult to forecast what may or may not come up. Stubbs expressed that he felt they were elected to be here to do the business of the people and can't always dictate when that business comes up.
