� <br /> Regarding the addressing project, the legal staff is working on a project ordinance. He <br /> said that he would provide the history under separate cover. Regarding the impact fee, he will <br /> address this at the staff level. <br /> 10. County Attorney's Report <br /> John Roberts said that it was pointed out to him by Commissioner Gordon that there <br /> was not a clear process for getting information about closed session items. If the County <br /> Commissioners want to know more about closed session items before a meeting, then they <br /> should call him. <br /> He said that there is concern about the impact fee ordinance. He is also concerned <br /> about the way it is applied and the way it is worded, and whether or not it actually applies to <br /> certain situations. The current interpretation has been to apply this impact fee when dwelling <br /> units are located anywhere within the County. The focus has been on the word "located." It <br /> does not say "new construction" or"lot". The interpretation has been if you locate, relocate, or <br /> build on a lot that has not previously had a house on it, then it should get an impact fee. He <br /> will be working with the Planning Department on a recommendation. <br /> 11. Appointments <br /> a.
