Laura Blackmon said that, because of the unique circumstances, these are basically <br /> special meetings and in some instances the Board may discuss and then hear public comment <br /> and then vote at the next meeting; and with other instances, the Board will vote as needed. <br /> Commissioner Gordon said that she wants to work this out so the public has a chance to <br /> comment. She said that the Board may or may not want to have public comment at the end of <br /> the meeting. She wants to make it clear that the public will be able to comment before the <br /> Commissioners vote. Laura Blackmon said that the resolution references more of the siting <br /> schedule. She said that the public comment is at the end so that the public can speak on what <br /> the Board has discussed. <br /> Laura Blackmon said that normally this type of meeting would not be done by the Board of <br /> County Commissioners but would be done by the staff. <br /> Commissioner Carey said that most of the items the Board makes a decision on would be <br /> voted on at a subsequent meeting. <br /> Commissioner Nelson suggested voting on the resolution after the public comment. <br /> This item was tabled until the end of the meeting. <br /> 2.
