Commissioner Dorosin suggested that, rather than making an amendment, the Board <br /> should go through specific issues of the report. He suggested that Board preferences should <br /> be expressed. <br /> Chair Jacobs asked John Roberts to repeat his statement regarding how much can be <br /> said and done, pending a complaint with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). <br /> John Roberts said his advice was, prior to voting on any substantial expenditure in this <br /> area, the Board should wait to see what EPA will do. He said it is legally risky to expend funds <br /> in this area without resolution with the EPA. <br /> Chair Jacobs said it is not that the Board is any less supportive of the Rogers Road <br /> area. He said Orange County represents about 130,000 residents; and the Board must act in <br /> the best interest of all, which includes acting prudently based on the best legal advice. <br /> Commissioner Gordon asked Chair Jacobs to repeat the motion. <br /> Chair Jacobs said repeated manager's recommendation again. <br /> Commissioner Gordon stayed with her original motion. <br /> Commissioner Dorosin said, with all respect to John Roberts, he does not feel that this <br /> is the best legal advice. He said he does not think his motion mentioned specific expenditures. <br /> Chair Jacobs said the Board is simply saying that there will be no further discussion <br /> about the complaint that was made until there is a ruling. He is confident that the Board <br /> stands ready to work with the towns to address all of the concerns that have been raised. <br /> Commissioner Price said she feels it is a show of the Board's commitment and <br /> responsibility that the task force was continued and that the neighborhood has not been <br /> neglected. <br /> VOTE: Ayes, 6 — Nay, 1 (Commissioner Dorosin) <br /> Chair Jacobs encouraged Commissioner Dorosin save his motion for a later date, at <br /> which time the Board would be glad to hear it. <br /> d.
