I found a recent article in The Paris News quite amusing. It reported on a City Council discussion regarding the problem of a consistent lack of a quorum on city boards and commissions. It went on for several paragraphs to talk about the difficulty of finding people willing to serve on the boards and commissions and absenteeism among those who do agree to serve. Then it listed all the boards and commissions that currently have vacancies.
In other City Council business at that same meeting, they agreed to establish a new city Parks and Recreation Board. Is it just me, or did someone not connect some dots? Maybe they could create a board to address the lack of people serving on boards.
