Standard practice and common procedure for us. Under the law we are required to post possible resolutions 72 hours before the meeting. Once the meeting begun we can and do make changes based on what we learned or go another direction. I want to reassure everyone the document is a place holder not an caution the commission made a decision how to proceed.
