VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br />e. TextAmendments to Subdivision Regulations and Zoning Ordinance <br />The Board was to consider proposed revisions to subdivision regulations and the zoning <br />ordinance. <br />Commissioner Jacobs suggested that this item be postponed until the next meeting. <br />f. Creation of BOCC Open Space Task Force <br />The Board considered creating an open space task force with associated charge, <br />structure and timeline. <br />Commissioner Gordon said that she and Commissioner Brown have proposed to create <br />a BOCC Open Space Task Force to try to move along some items that would be coming to the <br />Board's attention. The charge of this group would be to make recommendations to the <br />Commissioners for integrating the parks report and the Lands Legacy Program. The task force <br />would also make recommendations to the Commissioners about facilitating the implementation of <br />the reports. <br />Commissioners Gordon and Brown will serve on this task force. Commissioner Jacobs <br />would like to participate as well; either with announced meetings or a rotating schedule. <br />Discussion ensued on the validity and appropriateness of having three County <br />Commissioners serve on a committee. <br />Commissioner Jacobs said that he is uncomfortable with the way this is being done. He <br />feels if he has just as much interest as the other two Commissioners in working with this issue, he <br />should work on the task force. <br />Commissioner Halkiotis suggested tabling this item for the next meeting and having the <br />Chair poll the members to try to come to a resolution. <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Halkiotis, seconded by Commissioner Brown to <br />table this item. <br />VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br />1 Q.
