Itwas clear to me after Monday night that 89 We are going to have same difficulty getting through this first phase unless the Planning Board decides to take same definitive 90 action tonight. Looking back at this, we've been going at this for about two years and we've had same disagreement but I think 91 We got to a point where we were ready to move this document on to the next phase. I think Monday night that was derailed. My 92 feeling is that if we don't do something defnitive, we are going to keep going back through the cycle aver and over again, I am 93 hoping after tonight and l think the staff has done a gaol jab, I had a chance to look atwhat they plan to do tonight, I think they 94 had a goad jab of highlighting the suggested changes based an what we heard Monday night. If We can came to some sort of 95 agreement an those items put.forth, I'd like to say that we send a message to the Board of County Commissioners that we have 96 done all the edits that we are willing to do an Phase I. We are going to send it to them with the Nape that they Vote it up or vote it 97 down that We don't want to take Phase I back under consideration, vile have to farce them to make a vote on it. If they decide to 9$ vote it dawn, then that's another issue but we can't keep these micro managed edits going on forever, (hope you will join me in 99 doing that tonight so that we can send a strong message to have them, on April 5~, deal with this. 100 101 Larry Wright Can I make a motion? 102 103 Brian Crawford: Sure, ~ a4 105 Larry Wright; I v~ould like to make a motion that we do exactly what the Chair said. That we agree with the Chair. 106 107 Brian Crawford; Do I need to restate it? lOS 109 May Becker; Can you restate it? 110 111 Brian Crawford. I'd like to, after we ga through the staffs presentation of Monday night's additional comments, when we come to 112 some agreement this evening about those comments that We send a message to the Board of County Commissioners that we 113 are finished with our edits and consideration of Phase l and that we'd like them to vote it up ar vote it down. We are not willing to 114 receive it back for additional edits and comments. 115 116 May Becker, I would like to ask, finished with the edits and voting it up or voting it down, Cn other Wards, I have brought up some 117 questions before about certain sections that we didn't discuss and such. So you are essentially suggesting if they, far the sake 11$ of understanding, Vote it down then what will the process be after than 2
