UNFINISHED BUSINESS: A. Mold Report from Commissioner Cherry — Ms. Cherry: I'm really not understanding this because, in October we had a meeting and I was to go out and speak to everybody about the mold, I didn't get finished and Ms. Ruthart sent out letters to everybody informing them that I would be probably coming. But then in March, we had a meeting and I was trying to discuss the mold problem, Ms. Hearn told me that I was just spinning my wheels and yall said that people had to come to yall and I tried to get placed on the agenda again cuz yall said I had to go through the chain of command. I sent the emails out on the chain of command and so it was not resolved. You told me, Mr. Savage, that you would not put me back on the agenda, it's done and we are done talking about it. And so, here we are and it says the mold report. I'm not understanding what I'm supposed to do.
