Commissioner Reives made the following statement, "I still stand very strongly opposed to the idea that we make these appointments. I think that is a burden that this Board incurred when it's members were elected and personally I feel that when public members are put in predicaments, such as the one we are about to do or have done thus far, the general public has no real recourse. It's almost as if what the public member says will be it and the general public or the tax payer has no way of voting that person in or out of office. We have by virtue of the delegation, and I have no problem delegating anything, but there are some things that I think that happen to be the responsibility of the Commissioners and public elected officials. I still stand very strongly opposed to what this Board has done. I've consistently voted no and I continue to do so today." 04 4
