Fayette commission tweaks 2018 schedule

The Fayette County Board of Commissioners voted on Dec. 14 to modify the start time of four of its 2018 meetings.

The board usually meets at 6:30 p.m. on the second and fourth Thursday of each month; however, it will convene at 4 p.m. on April 24 and Oct. 9, and at 2 p.m. on Nov. 8 and Dec. 13. Because of the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, the commission usually holds only one meeting in November and December. Commissioner Charles Rousseau suggested the 2 p.m. start times to allow more senior citizens to attend without having to drive home in the dark.
