Despite many requests over the years for the Lehigh Acres Fire Department’s board of commissioners to change it meeting time the board voted 3-1 to meet starting in April at 6 p.m., instead of the usual 4 p.m. time.
Last month, Cathy Kruse, suggested that commissioners move their meeting date to the evening so more Lehigh residents would have the opportunity to attend the meetings.
Very few members of the public ever attend a fire board meeting and Kruse believes it is because people work and are unable to come to the meetings.
