County Attorney James T. Hendrick discussed with the Board approving the resolutions

property is not what they would be buying, subject to restrictions determined by county
biologists; and alternatively, that the developer be fined a maximum amount. After further
discussion, the motion was amended by the maker with the second accepting to add the following
