24 <br /> 1 Commissioner Price asked Commissioner McKee how he sees the task force prohibiting <br /> 2 the center from moving forward. <br /> 3 Commissioner McKee said he does not think the task force would slow down the center <br /> 4 but it does not need to be a part of the task force if the County is going to build it. <br /> 5 Commissioner Price said that she and Commissioner Dorosin would like to make sure <br /> 6 the center gets built and to monitor that. She asked if Commissioner McKee would object if <br /> 7 these two were on the task force, and Commissioner McKee said no. <br /> 8 Chair Jacobs said Commissioner Dorosin's wording could be amended and he read: To <br /> 9 continue the task force and update the charge: <br /> 10 <br /> 11 There are 4 parts to the charge: <br /> 12 <br /> 13 1) Task force to look at final costs and provision for sewer and preference for no cost for <br /> 14 Historic Rogers Road residents <br /> 15 2) Address gentrification <br /> 16 3) Consider funding options including the Greene Tract <br /> 17 4) Monitor progress on construction and development of the community center and <br /> 18 agreements related thereto with the specifications outlined below: <br /> 19 • The facility would be no larger than 4000 sq foot and would not exceed $700,000 <br /> 20 • Long term low cost agreement with Habitat related to disposition and ownership <br /> 21 of property <br /> 22 • Interlocal agreement with managers that includes funding from the county and <br /> 23 towns and the concept that the facility will be open to public <br /> 24 • Staff would come back with plan to begin construction <br /> 25 • Staff to come back with recommendation on how they would contract with some <br /> 26 entity to operate the community center <br /> 27 <br /> 28 Commissioner Dorosin said they could sever the four things about the community center <br /> 29 and vote on them separately if that would help everyone to agree. <br /> 30 Commissioner McKee asked if this was a substitute motion at this time. <br /> 31 John Roberts said that there would have to be an unfriendly amendment first. <br /> 32 Frank Clifton said that staff could probably reach an agreement with Habitat fairly <br /> 33 quickly, but the towns may take longer. <br /> 34 Discussion ensued about the rules of making motions. <br /> 35 Commissioner Pelissier said that she had called the question, but Chair Jacobs said that <br /> 36 he did not hear. <br /> 37 Commissioner McKee called the question on the whole complex motion. <br /> 38 <br /> 39 VOTE ON MOTION: Ayes, 3 (Commissioner Dorosin, Commissioner Price, and Chair Jacobs); <br /> 40 Nays, (Commissioner Gordon, Commissioner Pelissier, Commissioner Rich, and Commissioner <br /> 41 McKee) <br /> 42 <br /> 43 Motion Defeated <br /> 44 <br /> 45 A motion was made by Commissioner Gordon, seconded by Commissioner McKee: <br /> 46 <br /> 47 • That the County move forward with the construction of the community center <br /> 48 • Instruct staff to confer with the managers and attorneys of the county and <br /> 49 towns, to come up with legal options to construct the center, including any <br /> 50 MOAs needed <br />
