It is the cost or the information for the meeting? <br />Michael Harvey: The issues were the cost of the certified mailing. <br />Tony Blake: There are costs for the volunteers to do this. <br />Pete Hallenbeck: The volunteer fire departments are run by volunteers and it is about a $3,000.00 cost. The county <br />is requiring these neighborhoods to have these meetings. <br />Michael Harvey: The issue is cost, resources, feelings that the meetings are unnecessary. <br />Tony Blake: We didn't plan for this cost. <br />Paul Gutherie: One thing I mentioned is that once you established precedence in this area, the definition of <br />governmental uses in terms of projects, are there ways to do that communication without sending out thousands of <br />letters. <br />MOTION made by Lisa Stuckey to approve. Maxecine Mitchell seconded. <br />VOTE: 7:1 (Tony Blake) <br />Tony Blake: I think the certified mailings should be left out and we should identify the affected property owners and <br />not just the ones within 500 feet. <br />2 <br />36 <br />
