Commissioner Jones to adopt Alternative 1: Additional Public
Participation/Joint BOCC and Planning Commission Meetings,
from the August 14, 1991 Wallace Roberts and Todd memo as
follows:
ALTERNATIVE NO. 1
In order to ensure Planning Commission input into the
planning process, and to incorporate that input into the
short timeframe available, it is suggested that the BOCC
presentations indicated in the Comprehensive Plan Schedule
be expanded to include the Planning Commission as joint
meetings/presentations or workshop sessions. These meetings
will also serve as public information sessions. Comments
from the public could be taken by the BOCC/P1anning
Commission after the Consultant presentations and general
BOCC discussion. This would provide two public sessions
beyond those required by Statute, and would meet the intent
of Chapter 163.3181. The Planning Commission would be able
to provide input and direction to the Consultant at these
sessions. Roll call vote was unanimous.
