The meeting will occur over several hours because of other county business or the volume of speakers. You may have to wait hours before it is your opportunity to speak. You can sign up for mobile text message notifications to be informed when the ordinances are being considered. It is critically important that your voice is heard. The industry needs strength in numbers to overcome the amount of supporters.
