AttendedSue Kempf did not participate
She had agreed to attend, then canceled the morning of the forum, citing illness. Organizers offered Zoom or a representative to connect her by phone. She used neither option. Her seven written answers have since been received.
“Please pass along my regrets. I don’t miss meetings and have never missed a council meeting but if we did have a Council meeting tonight, I wouldn’t feel well enough to attend. I’ll see everyone at the next forum.”
