[00:00:10]
I WILL CALL THIS MEETING TO ORDER, UH, THE, UH, JUNE 11TH, 20, 20 RULE AND CRITICAL IN, UM, BOARD MEETING.
UH, SO DO WE DO THE CALL TO ORDER WITHIN WE CONFIRM WE HAVE A QUORUM, WHICH IS GOOD.
UM, AMANDA, ARE WE IN COMPLIANCE WITH FOI? WE ARE.
WE'LL DO, UH, APPROVAL OF THE AGENDA.
SO HOPEFULLY EVERYBODY'S GOT IT IN FRONT OF THEM.
DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY COMMENTS THAT THEY WANT TO MAKE RELATIVES AGENDA? I'LL TAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE AGENDA.
THIS IS WHERE IT GETS MORE DIFFICULT.
IS EVERYBODY ON MUTE? OKAY, GREAT.
SO IN ORDER TO HELP THE, UH, THE VOTING PROCESS, AND I DON'T THINK WE HAVE TO DO A LOT OF VOTING TODAY, BUT ON THIS PARTICULAR ITEM, WHAT I'M GONNA DO GOING TO DO IS I'M GOING TO SAY, I'M GOING TO CALL, UH, FOR THE APPROVAL AND I'M GOING TO START WITH, DOES ANYBODY HAVE AN OBJECTION TO APPROVING THE, UH, AGENDA AS PRESENTED AND HEARING NONE? I THEN WILL SAY THAT THE AGENDA IS APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY.
SO BEFORE WE GO TO THE NEXT ITEM, I JUST WANT TO MAKE A COUPLE OF COMMENTS.
FIRST OF ALL, I DO WANT TO RECOGNIZE THAT WE DO HAVE A DISTRICT SEVEN, UH, REPRESENTATIVE JOHN WOULD BE WITH US TODAY AS AN OFFICIAL BOARD MEMBER.
HE WAS AT OUR BOARD, UH, WAITING TO GET HIS FINAL APPOINTMENT DONE.
I THINK SOMEWHERE OUT THERE, THERE'S SOME REASON NOT MUTED, RIGHT? UH, IT WAS MENTIONED EARLIER, BUT I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE FULL GROUP BEING HERE, BUT, UH, BOB VENDOR WAS HONORED WITH A PROCLAMATION AT THE LAST COUNTY COUNCIL MEETING.
UM, I THINK THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTOR TO THE BOARD'S WORK OVER MANY, MANY YEARS IS, UH, UM, ABSENCE WILL BE A MISS, BUT WE WISH THEM THE BEST.
UM, ANOTHER POINT OF INFORMATION, WHAT I'D LIKE TO DO IS REMIND THE BOARD THAT BASED ON OUR, UH, CURRENT PLANS, STARTING IN JULY, I'M GOING TO REMIND YOU, WE ARE GOING TO MEET AT THE CRYSTAL LAKE PARK FACILITY.
THAT'S WHERE OUR NEW MEETING LOCATION WILL BE.
AND THAT MEETING WILL NOW START IT STILL BE IN THURSDAY'S THE SECOND THURSDAY, WE'LL START AT TWO 30 IN THE AFTERNOON AND GO TO FOUR 30.
WE, UM, NOT THROUGH ONE, WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO ACTUALLY START MEETING IN PERSON.
UM, I'M GOING TO ASK AT THIS POINT, JUST TO GET THIS ONE OUT OF THE WAY, IT IS DIFFICULT MEETING, UH, VIDEO CONFERENCES.
JULY IS A TIME WHEN WE NORMALLY DO NOT MEET.
UH, WE USUALLY DON'T MEET IN JULY.
A LOT OF PEOPLE NORMALLY WANT TO BE IN VACATIONS TO TAKE TIME OFF.
UM, I'VE TALKED TO AMANDA AND, YOU KNOW, AT THE MOMENT, THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE ANY SIGNIFICANT, UM, INFORMATION OR WORK FOR US TO DO IN JULY.
AND SO I WOULD LIKE TO QUICKLY GET A SENSE OF THE BOARD MEMBERS WHO ARE PRESENT, IF ANYBODY HAS AN OBJECTION.
AND ALL SHE GOTTA DO IS SAY, IF YOU HAVE AN OBJECTION, IF WE DO NOT MEET IN JULY, ANY OBJECTIONS THAT SO HEARING NONE, WHAT I'M GOING TO DO, ERIC AND AMANDA, I AGREE THAT WE WILL NOT MEET, NOT HAVE OUR JULY MEETING, UM, AS PLANNED.
AND I THINK WITH ANY LUCK, WE'LL ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO
[00:05:01]
MEET IN PERSON IN AUGUST AT THE CRYSTAL LAKE PARK.ANOTHER QUICK, UM, HOUSEKEEPING ITEM.
AND IF YOU HAVEN'T TURNED IN YOUR, KIND OF YOUR CURRENT CONFLICTS OF INTEREST FORM FOR FISCAL YEAR 21, AMANDA SENT OUT A, UH, NOTIFICATION AND REQUEST TO THAT.
UM, I THINK WHAT THE LATEST IS THAT THE WALTER, DOUG AND GAIL NEED TO TURN THEIR FORMS IN EVERYBODY ELSE WHO LOOKS LIKE THEY'VE DONE IT.
SO, WALTER, IF YOU HEAR ME, IF HE COULD FIND THAT EMAIL AND IF YOU LOST TRACK, OKAY.
UH, JUST CAN JUST BE PUT IN THE MAIL.
I DON'T THINK DOUG'S NOT ON A PHONE.
IS HE HERE ON THE CALL AT THE MOMENT? IT DOES NOT.
UH, SO WE'LL FOLLOW UP WITH DOUG AND GAIL SEPARATELY.
UM, I THINK THAT IS IT, ALTHOUGH ONE LAST A SIDE ITEM, ERIC, YOU, YOU SENT IT OUT.
I MEAN, THROUGH DIANE, THE, UH, THE WORKSHOPS FOR WETLANDS REGULATIONS, MORE PROFESSIONAL PLANNERS SUGGESTING THAT, UM, THE BOARD MIGHT BENEFIT FROM, UM, PARTITION IN THOSE, THEN COULD YOU JUST MAYBE A QUICK MINUTE HELP GIVE US A LITTLE BIT MORE CONTEXT AS TO WHAT MIGHT BE COVERED AND HOW THAT WOULD HELP US, ESPECIALLY, I THINK AS WE'RE LOOKING AT THE GREEN PRINT, YEAH.
IT'S GONNA COVER, UM, UH, UH, COURSE CHANGES TO THE REGULATIONS THAT HAVE HAPPENED, UH, IN THE LAST FEW YEARS.
ALSO, ANY ADVANCES THAT HAVE OCCURRED WITH MANAGING THE WETLANDS IN RELATIONSHIP TO WATER QUALITY, I WILL IMAGINE, I WOULD IMAGINE THAT THEY WILL ALSO BE TALKING ABOUT SOME CLIMATE CHANGE ASPECTS, UH, ASSOCIATED WITH THAT AS WELL.
UM, AGAIN, YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED TO HAVE ANY PARTICULAR AMOUNT OF TRAINING.
I JUST WANTED YOU TO BE AWARE THAT THE, UM, OPPORTUNITY IS OUT THERE.
YOU CAN DO IT, UH, VIRTUALLY WITHOUT HAVING TO SPEND A LOT OF TIME TRAVELING.
I WANTED YOU ALL TO OUT THE ABILITY TO SIGN UP FOR IT SINCE IT WAS A FREE A WEBINAR.
I THINK THAT IT'D BE INTERESTING TO SLIP IN ON THAT.
SO WITH THAT, WE'RE GOING TO MOVE TO BACK TO THE, UH, JANUARY.
WE'RE GOING TO BE AT ITEM NUMBER FOUR APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES OF THE MARCH 12TH MEETING.
SO HOPEFULLY EVERYBODY'S READ DOS AND LOOKED AT THEM.
DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS OR COMMENTS WHERE THEY THINK THOSE MINUTES AS PRESENTED NEED SOME CHANGES, CHANGES ANY ANYONE? OKAY.
I'M NOT HEARING ANY, I'M ASSUMING THAT IS OKAY.
I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE THE MINUTES FROM THE MARCH 12TH, 2020 BOARD MEETING, MICHAEL.
YES, THERE, I CANNOT, I CANNOT DOWNLOAD WEBEX.
I SAY, DOWNLOAD THE WEBEX APP ON THE PHONE SHANETTE, BUT I'M NOT.
I'M JUST TRYING TO CLARIFY THAT THE PERSON WHO'S TALKING IS DUCKS.
SO BACK TO THE A MINUTES MOTION TO APPROVE THE MINUTES OUT, I'LL MOVE TO APPROVE THE MAN.
I DON'T KNOW WHETHER CAN HEAR ME TAKE A SECOND FROM SOMEONE WITH THAT.
[00:10:01]
UH, I'LL ASK US TO, UH, APPROVE THE MINUTES.DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY OBJECTIONS TO APPROVING THE MINUTES WE CAN SPEAK FIRST HEARING MEN ARE APPROVED.
SO I MEAN, ERIC, CAN YOU SEE WHO YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO MOVE YOU? UM, UM, BUT THEY KEEP ON MUTING THEMSELVES.
I'M JUST GOING TO ASK IF YOU, I WANT TO HEAR YOU.
IF YOU GET SOMETHING TO SAY YOU'RE HERE, WE HAVE A DISCUSSION, PLEASE WEIGH IN ON, MUTE YOURSELF BACK IN, MUTE YOURSELF.
SO WE DON'T GET A LOT OF FEEDBACK.
WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO CITIZENS.
SO THERE'S WHERE I NEED EITHER BROADCASTING PEOPLE OR AMANDA OR YOU ERIC TO TELL ME IF THERE'S BEEN ANY ONE WHO WANTED TO MAKE PUBLIC COMMENTS.
DAN, WE'RE GOING TO MOVE TO THE NEXT ITEM, WHICH IS, UH, DISCUSSION ITEM GREEN FOR AN UPDATE.
AND ERIC, IF YOU COULD JUST GIVE US AN UPDATE, PLEASE.
WE JUST RECENTLY WENT THROUGH THE PROCESS OF GETTING THE CONTRACT WITH DESIGN WORKSHOP, WHO WAS DOING THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE, UH, GETTING THEIR SCOPE OF WORK CHANGED.
AND IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING AS OF TODAY THAT THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR, MS. JACOBS WILL BE SIGNING THAT DOCUMENT.
AND SHORTLY THEREAFTER, WE WILL BE SCHEDULING STAKEHOLDER MEETINGS WITH YOU, UH, AND VARIOUS INDIVIDUAL GROUPS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY TO GET YOUR INPUT ON, UH, THE UPDATE TO THE GREEN PRO.
SO THAT IS, UM, THAT IS UNDERWAY AT THIS POINT.
AT SOME POINT I KNOW I'M, I'M I, AT TIMES I GET TO BE REPETITIVE ON THESE, BUT AT SOME POINT I WOULD ASK THAT SOMEHOW ONCE I GUESS DESIGN WORKS GETS UP AND THAT CONTRACT IS SIGNED.
IS THERE SORT OF AN ACTION KEY THAT A MAJOR ACCIDENT ACTION, STEP MILESTONE LISTING WITH SOME TIMING FOR THE GREEN PRINT SEGMENT OF THEIR OVERALL WORK THAT THEY COULD PRESENT TO US OR THROUGH YOU? SO THE BOARD HAS A SENSE OF THE MAJOR WORK THAT HAS TO GO INVOLVED AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, OR AS IMPORTANTLY, AT WHAT POINT DOES THE BOARD HAVE, SHOULD PLAY AN ACTIVE ROLE.
SO AS MUCH AS YOU SAID, THEY'LL DEFINITELY BE TRYING TO COME TO THE BOARD AS STAKEHOLDERS IN, IN ONE PART OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE GREEN FRONT.
UM, AS I NOTED, I THINK YESTERDAY TO YOU, YOU KNOW, THE, THE ORDINANCE THAT, UH, HAS THAT TALKS ABOUT THE BOARD, IT'S NUMERATED AS ONE OF OUR MAJOR DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES THAT THE BOARD APPROVES GREEN PRINCE, AND THEN FOR THEM, FOR RECOMMENDATION, FOR ADOPTION BY THE COUNCIL.
SO, I MEAN, THAT IS A VERY ONE OF THE FEW VERY SPECIFIC DEFINED ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES DUTIES OF THIS BOARD.
SO I'M VERY MUCH INTERESTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE UNDERSTAND HOW DESIGN WORKS IS GOING TO ROLL ALL THAT UP THE STEPS THAT ARE GOING TO GO THROUGH.
WE NEED AS A BOARD TO UNDERSTAND SOME OF THE MECHANICS OF ALL THAT UNDERSTAND THE CONTEXT, BECAUSE IF IT'S OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO EVENTUALLY APPROVE THE GREEN PRINT, IT CANNOT BE SOMETHING WHERE SOME DOCUMENT IS HANDED TO US A WEEK BEFORE SOME MEETING THAT WE EXPECT US TO APPROVE IT.
YOU, UM, AS A GROUP PAY, PLAY AN INTEGRAL ROLE, OF COURSE, AND ALL OF THAT.
UM, WE, I KNOW THE STEPS AT THIS POINT.
UH, UNFORTUNATELY GIVEN OUR ENVIRONMENT THAT WE'RE IN RIGHT NOW, I DON'T KNOW
[00:15:01]
HOW WE'RE GOING TO CARRY OUT THE MEETINGS AND THE STAKEHOLDER PROCESS.IT SEEMED TO ME THAT SOMETHING IS IMPORTANT, UH, AS THE GREEN PRINT IS GOING TO HAVE TO BE DONE AND THROUGH A SERIES OF IN-PERSON MEETINGS AND GATHERINGS, BUT WE ARE NOT AUTHORIZED TO DO THAT, UH, REGULARLY RIGHT NOW.
SO I DON'T KNOW WHEN THAT IS GOING TO START.
WE ARE TRYING TO DEVELOP THAT SCHEDULE TO THE BEST OF OUR ABILITY BASED ON WHAT WE KNOW RIGHT NOW, BASED UPON WHAT WE'RE AUTHORIZED TO DO, UH, AS FAR AS GROUP SETTINGS ARE CONCERNED AND MOVING THAT THROUGH THE PROCESS.
SO ONCE WE HAVE ALL OF THAT DEFINED AND APPROVED, THEN WE WILL BE SENDING THAT OUT TO THE BOARD SO THAT YOU ALL WILL BE AWARE OF THE DATE THAT WE, THE TARGET DATES AND ALSO, UH, SO YOU CAN PLAN FOR YOUR INVOLVEMENT, UM, AS WELL.
FIND OUT I APPRECIATE THAT AGAIN.
I JUST LOOKING FOR THAT, THAT FIRST SALAD, UH, PRESENTATION OF THIS IS THE SCOPE OF THE PLAN.
THESE ARE SORT OF THE KEY MILESTONES ACTION STEPS THAT WILL BE CARRIED OUT THROUGH WITH THE DESIGN WORKSHOP FOLKS AND WITH, UH, I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE IMPORTANT TO HIGHLIGHT, UM, WHERE THE BOARD SHOULD BE PLAYING THE MOST HELPFUL ROLE LEADING UP TO US BEING A BOARD THAT APPROVES THE DOCUMENT.
AND SO WHAT I PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE SAID IS THAT THE LAST TIME THAT THE, UH, GREEN FRONT WAS IN FACT, I THINK IT WAS THE FIRST GREEN PRINT OR THE LAST TIME IT WAS UPDATED WAS BEFORE ANY OF THE CURRENT BOARD MEMBERS.
UM, THE ONLY, THE ONLY ONE WHO HAD A HOPE OF A CHANCE OF BEING PART OF THE PRIOR GROUP WAS BOB A VENDOR, BUT, YOU KNOW, WITH HIS, UH, DEPARTURE, NONE OF US CURRENT BOARD MEMBERS HAVE BEEN THROUGH THAT.
I MEAN, I UNDERSTAND THE GREENPRINT.
I WAS NOT PART OF PUTTING IT TOGETHER.
SO I THINK IT'S JUST GOING TO BE VERY IMPORTANT TO EDUCATE THE BOARD, WHAT THAT ALL IS, HOW IT HAPPENS, SO THAT WHEN WE'RE ASKED TO APPROVE IT, ADOPTED THAT WE ARE ALL FEELING VERY COMFORTABLE, THAT WE KNOW HOW IT WAS PUT TOGETHER AND CAN SUPPORT IT.
SO WITH THAT, I'M, I'M FINE WITH THIS AGENDA ITEM, I WILL OPEN IT UP TO ANY OTHER BOARD MEMBER WHO MIGHT HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THIS, OR WANT TO OFFER COMMENTS.
SO THEY DON'T ACTUALLY, THEY CAN ASK, DID ANYBODY HAVE ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD THAT THEY WANTED TO MAKE? GREAT.
SO GO AHEAD AND MAKE A COMMENT AS WELL.
SO WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO HEAR HER AGAIN NOW I'M ON.
YEAH, NO, I SAY THE PROCESS SOUNDS FINE, MIKE.
SO WITH THAT, UH, GLAD TO MOVE ON TO THE NEXT AGENDA ITEM NUMBER SEVEN, WHICH IS AN ACTION ITEM FOR RURAL AND CRITICAL LAND FOR A OF APPLICATION FORM.
AND I'LL TURN IT OVER TO WHOEVER ERIC OR AMANDA, WHOEVER WANTS TO TALK ABOUT THAT.
I SHOULD ALSO MENTION IN CASE SOME OF THE BOARD MEMBERS, YOU, HOPEFULLY, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU SAW IT OR NOT, BUT AMANDA SENT OUT PROBABLY AN HOUR, HOUR AND A HALF AGO, THE MOST CURRENT VERSION OF THE FORM AND A FILE AS WELL AS THE, UM, SOME HELPFUL INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO FILL IT OUT.
UM, AND SO I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY, IF EVERYBODY HAD A CHANCE TO LOOK AT THAT, FIND IT IN THEIR COMPUTER AND ASK LIKE, I'LL, I'LL ASK ERIC OR AMANDA, WHOEVER TO GO AHEAD AND JUST, YOU KNOW, AS AN UPDATE ON THE FORM, UM, LET ME MAKE SURE YOU ALL CAN SEE THAT, UH, APPLICATION ON THE SCREEN THERE.
CAN YOU SEE THAT ON YOUR SCREEN? CHAIRMAN MATTHEW?
[00:20:01]
YES.SO, UH, IT'S PRETTY MUCH JUST A ONE PAGE APPLICATION, MAYBE TWO PAGES.
IT GOES THROUGH HAS A DETAILED INSTRUCTION LIST ON WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR UNDER EACH QUESTION AND HOW TO FIND THE INFORMATION.
UM, AND THEN ALSO IT EXPLAINS THE, YOU KNOW, WHAT PDR AND FEE SIMPLE PURCHASES ARE AND THAT, AND THEN IT MOVES INTO THE APPLICATION, WHICH IS JUST VERY SIMPLE INFORMATION OF WHO IS MAKING THE REQUEST, UH, TO US TO CONSIDER THEIR, UH, APPLICATION WHO THE PROPERTY OWNERS ARE IN THE STRICT CASE, HOW TO GET TO THE PROPERTY, YOU KNOW, WHAT THE PROPERTY CONDITIONS ARE.
IS IT WET, IS A FLAT, IS IT FLOATED? IS, HAS IT BEEN TIMBERED, UH, THOSE TYPES OF THINGS, AND THEN JUST GENERAL COUNTY PARCEL INFORMATION REGARDING ZONING SIZE, UH, PIN NUMBER FOR THE PROPERTY, AND THEN THEIR EXPECTATION OF THE PRICE, WHETHER OR NOT THEY WANT US TO LOOK AT IT AS A PURCHASER DEVELOPER RIGHTS OR A FEE SIMPLE PURCHASE.
AND THEN ALSO, UH, JUST INFORMATION KNOWING THAT THEY NEEDED TO PROVIDE THE PLAN.
AND THEN OF COURSE, EACH PERSON NEEDS TO SIGN IT OR HAVE A NOTARIZED STATEMENT FROM THE PROPERTY OWNER, GIVEN THE PERMISSION TO THE ALBUM, THE FILE FOR THE PARTICULAR ISSUE.
AND THAT, OF COURSE, THERE'S JUST INFORMATION FOR THE COUNTY OFFICIALS THAT ACCEPTED IT.
SO THEN WE WILL KNOW WHO THEY TALK TO AND WE'LL HAVE THAT INFORMATION AS WELL.
SO THAT'S PRETTY MUCH IT, IN A NUTSHELL, WE GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS OR RECEIVE ANY COMMENTS ABOUT IT.
SO ERIC, CAN YOU HEAR ME? OKAY.
HAVE YOU HAD ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC, ANY POTENTIAL APPLICANTS OR LOOK AT THEM THE FORM AND SEEING IF THEY HAD ANY QUESTION? UH, WE HAVE HAD ONE FILLED OUT ON THIS, UM, THROUGH, UH, BARBARA, UM, AS A RESULT OF THEM FILLING OUT THAT APPLICATION, WE DISCOVERED THAT WE NEEDED TO BE A LITTLE MORE DETAILED ON THE EXPLANATION OF WHAT A PDR PURCHASES.
SO THAT WOULD BE THE, THAT WOULD BE THE ONLY ISSUE WHEN PEOPLE START FILLING IT OUT THEN WE'LL YEAH, THAT'S CORRECT.
UH, I SEE JANUARY'S IN YOUR HAND.
UM, I, I BELIEVE AT THE MARCH BOARD MEETING, SOMEONE RAISED, UH, THE IDEA OR THE, UH, RECOMMENDATION THAT THE COUNTY ORDINANCE, UM, UH, WAS THAT CONSIDERED OR DEEMED UNNECESSARY? AH, I'M SORRY.
ARE YOU SAYING THAT YOU THOUGHT WE HAD TO ACTIVATE THIS FORM BY DOING SO KIND OF AN ORDINANCE YET? NO.
DECIDING I BELIEVE SOMEONE, I FORGET WHO IT WAS SAID THAT PERHAPS IT WOULD BE BENEFICIAL, BUT THE COUNTY ORDINANCE 2019, BUT IT WAS 47, 48 49, OR WE'RE NOT GOING TO WEBSITE UP.
I DON'T KNOW IF THAT WAS GOING TO BE CONSIDERED OR JUST EVEN DONE NECESSARILY.
UH, BUT, UM, I MEAN, WE CAN ADD A STATEMENT TO REFERENCE THAT, YOU KNOW, THE PROCESS WILL BE GOVERNED BY THAT ORDINANCE.
WE'VE TRIED TO BASICALLY SAY THAT WITHOUT SPECIFICALLY LISTING THE ACTUAL ORDINANCE NUMBER FOR FOLKS, UM, BECAUSE THIS IS A PART OF, UH, IMPLEMENTING THE PROVISIONS OF THAT ORDINANCE THAT WAS ADOPTED.
SO I APPRECIATE YOU BRINGING THAT DARK TENSION AND WE WILL DO OUR BEST TO ADD INFORMATION SOMEWHERE IN THE INSTRUCTIONS THAT FOLKS NEED TO BE AWARE OF, THAT WE ARE FOLLOWING THE PROVISIONS OF THAT PARTICULAR SECTION NUMBER IN CASE THEY WANT TO GO FIND THAT ORDINANCE AND READ IT.
SO THEY'LL KNOW WHAT OUR STANDARDS AND PROCEDURES ARE.
ANYBODY ELSE? ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS JUST COME A REAL QUICK LENS.
UM, WHEN, WHEN DO YOU THINK THIS WILL BE ACTIVE ON, ON THE COUNTY WEBSITE,
[00:25:01]
AS SOON AS WE, AS SOON AS WE GET YOUR OFFICIAL BLESSING, AGAIN, WE'VE ALREADY USED IT ONCE, MAYBE TWICE.UH, WE WILL HAVE IT UP AND RUNNING ONCE WE ARE AWARE THAT YOU ALL ARE COMFORTABLE WITH IT, AND WE CAN ADD THAT INFORMATION ON THE ORDINANCE NUMBER TO THIS, IF THAT'S THE ONLY CHANGE AND GO AHEAD AND DO THE UPLOAD THIS WEEK.
UH, W WOULD YOU, ARE YOU LOOKING FOR US TO THE BOARD TO RECOMMEND IT TO ADOPTION? IF WE'RE, YOU CAN EITHER A VOTE TO DO IT, OR YOU CAN JUST DO IT BY CONSENT? I DON'T, I DON'T KNOW.
SO IT'S ALREADY BEEN, IT'S ALREADY BEEN ADOPTED BY COUNCIL AS BEING A REQUIREMENT OF THE ORDINANCE BASED ON YOUR PREVIOUS RECOMMENDATION TO ADOPT THE ORDINANCE.
I DON'T KNOW THAT INITIAL, UH, AN ADDITIONAL VOTE IS NECESSARY FOR, FROM YOU ALL, BUT IF YOU WANT TO JUST MAKE SURE EVERYBODY BY CONSENSUS THIS, THIS IS READY TO BE PUBLISHED AND WE WILL PUBLISH IT.
SO WITH THAT, LET ME MAKE JUST GENERAL COMMENT.
I MEAN, WE'VE LOOKED AT THIS A COUPLE OF TIMES.
ACTUALLY, YOU HAVE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT OUR PRIOR CONVERSATION AND COMMENTS TO IMPROVE THE FORM, ESPECIALLY WITH THE INCLUSION NOW OF THE INSTRUCTIONS, GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT MORE INSIGHT AS TO WHAT'S EXPECTED IN THOSE, IN THE COMPLETION OF THE FORM, SO THAT I THINK WHERE THE FORM IS READY TO BE USED.
AND I WOULD JUST, I GUESS, MAYBE TO SORT OF STATE IT THIS WAY, DOES ANY BOARD MEMBER CURRENTLY IN SESSION, DO THEY HAVE ANY OBJECTION FOR COUNTY STAFF TO GO AHEAD AND FORMALLY IMPLEMENT THIS FORM AND PUT IT ON THE WEBSITE? ANY OBJECTIONS? NO.
SO WITH THAT, UM, WE'LL ENCOURAGE STAFF TO ACTIVATE IT AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.
AND WE'RE GOING TO THE BOARD WE'LL LOOK FORWARD TO BECAUSE THERE'S A PROCESS HERE GOING TO BE FILLED OUT AND STAFF IS GOING TO EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, PRESENT US WITH THE CURRENT APPLICATIONS AND HOW, HOW STAFF DOES THAT IS STILL A WORK IN PROCESS.
SO WE'LL, WE'LL WAIT UNTIL YOU'RE READY TO DO THAT.
I WAS JUST GOING TO TELL YOU THE ONE THING YOU MAY NOT BE AWARE OF CHAIRMAN IS THAT WE DO HAVE, UH, HAYES WILLIAMS, UH, ON THE MEETING WITH US.
HE WAS SCHEDULED TO BE HERE TO BE INTRODUCED BY YOU, UH, FOR THE JUNE MEETING.
IT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT SITUATION THAN WE ARE ALL FOR BECAUSE OF THE COVID SITUATION.
BUT, UH, HAYES IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE BUSIEST PEOPLE IN BUFORD COUNTY RIGHT NOW.
AND I'M NOT SURE THAT HE NEEDS TO STAY ON THE ENTIRE TIME, BUT I DID WANT TO GO AHEAD AND DO, OR BE AWARE OF THAT HE IS ON IN CASE YOU WANTED TO GO AHEAD AND DO, UH, YOUR INTERACTION WITH HIM AT THIS POINT.
WELL, INTERRUPTION, I WOULD, I WOULD WANT TO DO IS HOLD.
HE, I HEARD IT HIMSELF, SO VERY GOOD.
SO JUST TO REMIND THE BOARD, UM, HAYES, UH, HAS BECOME A VERY IMPORTANT INDIVIDUAL IN SUPPORT OF THE RURAL AND CRITICAL LAND BOARD.
S HE IS THE ONE WHO HAS BEEN PRODUCING THE LAST COUPLE OF FINANCIAL REPORTS FOR OUR USE OF THE FUNDING.
AND THEY'VE BEEN VERY HELPFUL.
THEY'VE BEEN VERY, UM, UM, CONSISTENT IF YOU WILL.
AND SO I PERSONALLY HAVE INTERACTED A COUPLE OF TIMES WITH HAYES TO HELP US GET THOSE FORMS HAS BEEN EXTREMELY COOPERATIVE AND HELPFUL.
AND I W AND I THINK WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO IS OUR NEXT OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW QUARTERLY REPORT IS ACTUALLY AT OUR AUGUST MEETING.
UM, I JUST WANT TO WISH GOOD HEALTH UNTIL THEN AND HOLD THAT HE'LL BE ABLE TO JOIN US ON ANOTHER WEBSITE TO PRESENT.
THE MOST CURRENT REPORT IN AUGUST IS YOU'RE WELCOME TO SAY ANYTHING YOU WANT, BUT I DO UNDERSTAND YOU'RE QUITE A BUSY PERSON AT THE MOMENT.
[00:30:01]
UM, I'M NEVER TOO BUSY, UH, TO JOIN A MEETING.UM, THANK YOU FOR THE KIND WORDS.
UH, YES, I, I HAVE DONE THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT BY THE AUGUST ONE.
I'M HOPING TO HAVE ONE FOR JUNE 30TH AND HOPEFULLY WE'LL HAVE, UH, WE'RE WE'RE MEETING WITH BOND COUNCIL, UH, FOR ISSUING YOUR RURAL AND CRITICAL, UH, LAND BOND.
UM, UH, TH THE, THE EARLIEST TIMEFRAME THEY HAD ABOUT A MONTH AGO WAS JULY.
UM, BUT, UH, HOPEFULLY IT'LL BE JULY EARLY AUGUST, SO I'LL DEFINITELY BUY YOUR NEXT MEETING AND BE ABLE TO UPDATE YOU ON THAT.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR KIND WORDS.
UH, IT'S EASY TO DO WITH SOMEONE WHO'S WORKING AS HARD AS YOU Y'ALL HAVE.
Y'ALL HAVE A GOOD DAY AND THANK YOU ALL FOR EVERYTHING YOU DID.
SO THANKS ERIC FOR DOING THAT.
SO AT THIS POINT, WE'RE DOWN TO AGENDA ITEM EIGHT, AND IT'S AN EXECUTIVE SESSION.
SO, UM, WE DO NEED TO HAVE, UH, UH, AN EXECUTIVE SESSION FOR DISCUSSION OF NEGOTIATIONS, INCIDENTAL PROPOSE CONTRACTUAL RATIOS FOR ACQUISITION OF PROJECT 2019, G AS WELL AS A GENERAL UPDATE ON CURRENT PROJECTS.
SO WITH THAT, I NEED A MOTION BY THE BOARD MEMBER TO GO INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION.
LET ME I'LL MAKE THAT MOTION SECOND.
ARE THERE ANY OBJECTIONS HEARING NONE.
THEN WE WILL NOW GO INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION AND I THINK ERIC, YOU NEED TO MAKE SURE.
[00:56:58]
OKAY.[00:57:03]
SO[00:57:03]
IT[00:57:04]
SHOULD[00:57:04]
BE BACK IN PUBLIC SESSION, WHICH IS GOOD.WE'RE OUT OF EXECUTIVE SESSION ITEM 10 OR BOARD MEETING AGENDAS MATTERS ARISING OUT OF EXECUTIVE SESSION, AND THERE ARE NO ITEMS ARISING OUT OF EXECUTIVE SESSION.
SO THAT ITEM IS TAKEN CARE OF.
WE'RE NOW DOWN TO HAVING TAKEN CARE OF ALL BUSINESS.
DOES ANYBODY OBJECT TO THE ADJOURN HEARING? NO OBJECTIONS.
I WANTED TO MENTION, UM, I DON'T THINK MANY PEOPLE KNEW IT UNTIL AMANDA SENT AN EMAIL THAT SHE WORKED FOR BOB BENDER AT ONE TIME.
WITHOUT ANY FURTHER OBJECTIONS, WE WILL END THIS MEETING.
I KNOW THESE ARE A LITTLE BIT DIFFICULT, BUT I THINK WE DID WELL.
WE'LL FIGURE OUT HOW WE'RE GOING TO SET THIS UP IN AUGUST.
