Schools Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance Planning Director Craig Benedict said that the purpose of this discussion is to bring the Schools Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance in front for comment by our Board of Commissioners. This document has been worked on for many years and has been in a work group for nine months. A version of this was approved by the Schools and Land Use Council in November 2001 and their version was sent out to all local governments in February 2002 and all have reviewed and made comments. Now it is in front of the Board of Commissioners. The memorandum of understanding includes a model ordinance. The goal was to get all jurisdictions to sign onto this general understanding of an ordinance.
