Dolly Hunter (Documents handed out Planning BoardAgenda Schedule Revised by Larry Wright) AGENDA ITEM 1: CALL TO ORDER AND ROLL CALL Larry Wright: Unfortunately, Brian can't be here and others. I would really like to hear their comments. In reading over the minutes, I would like to make a general statement and that is as I looked over the agenda and looked at the minutes, one of the charges we had for this meeting was to bring a vote on the topics we had discussed so in order to get some sort of discussion going that could lead to a vote, I took the liberty to rearrange the agenda. You have a handout and you may want to look it over as we go through the first part of the agenda. I am going to start with the agenda that we were mailed. The first item is the call to order, we've done that and what I'd like to do next is waive the public charge and then go to number two and let staff discuss the calendar and overview of items of in number seven and pages 37 through 39. AGENDA ITEM 5: PUBLIC CHARGE Introduction to the Public Charge The Board of County Commissioners, under the authority of North Carolina General Statute, appoints the Orange County Planning Board (OCPB) to uphold the written land development laws of the County. The general purpose of OCPB is to guide and accomplish coordinated and harmonious development. OCPB shall do so in a manner which considers the present and future needs of its citizens and businesses through efficient and responsive process that contributes to and promotes the health, safety, and welfare of the overall County. The OCPB will make every effort to uphold a vision of responsive governance and quality public services during our deliberations, decisions, and recommendations. PUBLIC CHARGE The Planning Board pledges to the citizens of Orange County its respect. The Board asks its citizens to conduct themselves in a respectful, courteous manner, both with the Board and with fellow citizens. At any time, should any member of the Board or any citizen fail to observe this public charge, the Chair will ask the offending member to leave the meeting until that individual regains personal control.
