H.B. Stinnett, a local resident, urged the commission to ensure full attendance for upcoming votes, stating that the community is united against the campground and desires a swift resolution to avoid prolonged discussions.

Janelle Stinnett, another resident, criticized a board member for perceived inattentiveness during previous meetings, highlighting concerns about transparency and communication regarding the campground proposal.
