~~~.~`~ 119 120 Brian Crawford; I~hat I am saying is we have to get Them to take some action on Phase L The point is to have them decide on~ 121 Phase I. Vote to approve or turn down Phase I. If they turn it down then I won't even guess on that yet but i don't think we've 122 gotten to a point where they have actually voted. The comments that we have received, we've seen a lot of comments from one 123 or two Baard members but nothing from anybody else. It seems like the Board is ready to fake a vote on it. I think we've got to 124 move them to that point. 1~e can't keep having mcctings an it, I think we have discussed this fairly and thoroughly amongst 125 each other for a long time na~~ Vie may not agree an every point but we've had a discussion and everybody has been allowed 126 to be heard. I think what their directions were to us have been carried out, the direction and the mission. We need to have them 127 vote on it. 12g 129 ~ May Becker; I understand what you are pointing out, I guess my comment is that there are parts that I feel that the Planning 130 Baard hasn't realty examined. I understand what you're saying in terms of being a volunteer board and we do as much as we 131 can in that area. ~n the other hand, there are parts of the rural buffer and such that i think there are some concerns about those 132 areas that we didn't really look into in a Whole lot of detail. 133 134 Brian Crawford: Goes anybody else have any camments? 135 136 Alan Campbell; I actually Dave a question for clari'~cation for the record. As far as What we are~voting on right now, are we going 137 to have a vote at the end of the night or are we gaing to vote now and then agree on what the changes are? 13~ 139 Brian Crawford: v~hat we are voting an is Larry's motion, the general idea. vlle're still going to have that discussion, 140 141 Alan Campbell; For purposes of discussion on the vote, I'll go ahead say (don't see need for any changes, personally, I am 142 definitely in favor of pushing it forward. 143 144 I~orta~: Larry v~right maned that the Board adapt the Planning Board Chair's position with respect to responding to the 145 commissioners on this item. Seconded by Rachel Phelps Hawkinst 146 Vo~~; 7-1 Becker opposed} 147 14~ Andrea Rahrbacher arrived} 149 150 May Becker: l want to make a comment an that, I see your paint but I Would have liked to be able to discuss some areas in the 151 UDD before making the suggestion that al! of it has been looked at in enough detail to be able to fully recommend or not 152 recommend. 153 154 Brian Crawford; May, l understand there are things that you are uncomfortable with about this. I fully understand and I don't 155 think you're in any way prevented from bringing this up again as we enter into phase two My only point is that we have, I know 156 that at one particular meeting we gave you a lot of time to air your concerns about it and we didn't agree but you aired your 157 concerns. The whole thing is that some are never gaing to agree and I think that's what's happening right naw. There are 15 ~ members of the public that just don't agree on some of the language in this. l think once you have goad discussion, goad 159 thorough discussion and it comes to a vote then you have to move on to the next phase, I think We've had goad tharougl~ 160 discussion an this although we have not came to 100°l~ agreement. That is my only point, ante we have the discussion, we have 161 to move on and vote ifi up ar vote it down. if it gets voted down this stuff might ail come back again but we can't get to that point 162 we are constantly micro managing text edits. 163 164 May Becker; Ok. 165 166 Judith Ulfegner; I came tonight with a letter of resignation in hand because I found sitting there at that meeting on Monday night 167 felt that the Commissioners had rat joined issue, l~e've had multiple open discussions, We've had work sessions, we've had a 16S hearing in November, this Board had lane a exceptional amount of work, I spent hours talking to Commissioner Gordon an the 169 telephone, i felt that the process of good governance in Perms of planning and the county was really arrived. I really thought the 170 better course might be that maybe it's just me, this is going into my sixth year an the Planning Baard and I care to give public 171 service and I try to do it because it matters to me. I also try to be an example to my students and 1 tell every class I've ever 172 taught that it is important to give public service but I felt that there really was not joining of issue by the CommissionersR l really 173 also felt, frankly, abused that the hard work of this Board within the time frames that everybody had urged upon us had been 174 carried through to the fullest extent that we could and yet we Were left with half an hour of comments from ane person, a few 175 camments from other people but na sense about what collectively was envisioned by the Commissioners. I don't think that's 176 very functional use either of the Commissioners process or of the volunteer process with the Planning Board so l have it here. 177 This is my letter of resignation that I wrote there. l talked with a couple of you who are the larger term members of the Baard 1~~
