Candidate Barry Holloway, District 2 – Joint Planning meetings with City?

Submitted by Barry Holloway
Candidate for Nassau County Commission, District 4
July 24, 2014 10:00 a.m.

In the past, joint planning meetings were held in an open forum between Nassau County and Fernandina Beach commissioners to address problems and clarify roles on important issues. Records from the City Clerk’s Office, indicate the last planning meeting was held 6/6/11. If elected, how would you support transparency and encourage a continuation of a joint planning process between the city and the county?

Better communication needs to happen between both elected bodies! The needs of the city and the needs of the county are certainly different in many ways. We must work together on common goals that benefit the citizens of our county. Annual meetings need to take place on a rotating basis. As we all have to adhere to the Sunshine Law, the meetings would have to be noticed and minutes taken, as well as inviting the public to attend. This process can go a long way to Keep Nassau Strong.
