An angry citizen has words for Carrol Bradley, who spoke in support of the Holly Springs Fire Commissioners last Friday. Many citizens were angry about not being given the opportunity to be put on the agenda to speak at Friday’s meeting, which ended with the termination of Chief Lee Jeffcoat.
Even before the termination of Holly Springs Fire Chief Lee Jeffcoat at the end of last week’s called meeting of the Holly Springs Commission Board of Fire Control, the timing of the meeting, the notice of the meeting provided to the public and the meeting’s agenda were all called into question by several concerned citizens and at least one commission member.
The meeting, which took place Friday, July 23 at 2:45 p.m., was not set at the end of the commission’s work session on Monday, July 19. Hometown News received notification of the meeting on Thursday, July 22 at 2:15 p.m. by way of a faxed agenda. Citizens and commission members acknowledged that the agenda was also posted at the fire station at approximately the same time.
While notification was received in accordance with South Carolina Freedom of Information Act laws, which stipulate a 24-hour notice for called meetings, many citizens questioned the agenda itself.
