The undersigned request that the Oneida County Board of Supervisors change its meeting times to evening hours.
Why is this important?
Currently the Oneida County (WI) Board and its subcommittees meet during the daytime, sometimes as early as 9:30 a.m. and only on workdays.
This not only severely restricts the opportunity for input but also limits or even eliminates the opportunity to hear directly from our elected leaders. Further, it limits opportunities for those who wish to run for County Board positions.
Consequently the voice of the citizen is limited strictly to those available during daytime hours--those who happen to be retired, semi-retired, or who have flexible hours.
