Douglas County is seeking to hear from residents about whether they would like to see the County Commission expand from three members to five. The county has scheduled a listening session for Dec. 9 to gather residents’ input about expanding the commission after more residents started getting in touch with local leaders about the idea. Commissioners initially expressed interest in expanding the commission to five members in March, but at a meeting in July they essentially decided to put the conversations aside because few residents had expressed interest in the idea. At that time, commissioners agreed that unless they heard from more residents, they would not move forward with a public election on the topic.
