Meeting Highlights:
Pete Palmer, Director of Planning, tells the commissioners about the Planning Commission’s recent meeting. She thinks that training in the Open Public Meetings Act for non-Growth Management Act counties would be useful, as well as training in the basics of Robert’s Rules of Order. They also discuss whether or not the county needs a full-time employee to establish a water bank.
Esther Milner, Chief Civil Deputy Prosecutor and Josh Thompson of Public Works discuss changes in procedures for using the Small Works Roster needed to bring the county into compliance with state regulations. Unfortunately, there is no audio for much of the meeting.
Pete Palmer returns after lunch to discuss changes in the zone code recommended by the Planning Commission at its recent meeting. The commissioners plan to meet later with the Planning Commission to discuss the changes.
Meeting adjourned at 3:14
