Commissioner Price said the public has asked for pros and cons and how to do this <br /> and that there should be a public hearing. She asked if this was possible in advance of the <br /> public hearing. She said she felt uneasy with moving forward with just one option. The Board <br /> needs to explore other alternatives. <br /> Chair Jacobs asked Frank Clifton if it is reasonable to have a more detailed discussion <br /> at one of the future meetings. <br /> Frank Clifton said the process is laid out like it is because it is a laborious process that <br /> must be followed. <br /> Commissioner Price said with the timeline it assumes that the Board wants this option <br /> alone. <br /> Frank Clifton said the staff has not made any decisions yet. The Board still can decide <br /> on any of the options. At any point there can be more meetings and more public input. <br /> Chair Jacobs said there is time before April 23 d to have a full discussion on the pros <br /> and cons and that could precede the public hearing. <br /> Commissioner McKee agreed with Chair Jacobs and said that would be a path to follow <br /> - to hold the April 23 d public hearing but have this item on another regular meeting or work <br /> session to discuss this further. <br /> Commissioner Gordon asked when the other meeting would be held.
