She has asked that 42 the wells not be sited in areas where buildings may be built in the future. She said that she 43 would like the opportunity for the Commissioners to weigh in prior to siting decisions being 44 made. This would allow the planning to be mindful of where future county building footprints will 45 be. 46 Frank Clifton said the best time to discuss this would be during Board discussions of a 47 particular project. He said there is a plan laid out and Jeff Thompson will present this to the 48 board. He said there are a lot of wells and piping to be done. He said this will likely come 49 before the Board soon.
