:1 Approved 11/5/14 860 Buddy Hartley: Things come up and when things come up, you contact staff and you let them know, I can't make this 861 meeting for whatever reason. Everyone won't be able to always make meetings and if that happened with 3 or 4 862 people for the same meeting, you might not have a quorum. 863 864 Lisa Stuckey: It's not a regularly scheduled meeting for us, it's an odd meeting and I think that's part of the problem 865 and it's on a Monday instead of Wednesday when we normally meet. Honestly when you're talking about going to 866 more meeting I wonder how many Planning Board members can really go to those neighborhood meetings. 867 868 Perdita Holtz: I'm a little fuzzy on a certain aspect of what you've discussed tonight; I hear that you want to attend 869 the public hearing whether those are quorumed or not quorumed that you want to attend to hear the public. 870 871 Lisa Stuckey: But if they change it and they're doing it six or eight times a year, are we really committed to that? 872 1 would be extremely skeptical. 873 874 Perdita Holtz: That is a question at this time, I don't really think they are going to be changing the frequency but 875 that's just my feeling from what we've heard. 876 877 Bonnie Hammersley: I will support Perdita on that. One of the things we have is for the November 241h quarterly 878 public hearing we don't have any agenda items and so it's difficult to try to justify adding more meetings so right now 1 879 don't see that being the will of the Board to change it. 880 881 Perdita Holtz: I hear that you want to attend the public hearing what I'm fuzzy on is I've also heard that you want to 882 do public meeting where the public can come to the Planning Board meeting and comment beforehand. There would 883 be an official agenda item, we would send out notices to any affected property owners and they could come and talk 884 with you. At that point, would you all make a recommendation at that Planning Board meeting and then attend the 885 public hearing or do you still want to wait to make the recommendation after the public hearing? We're just talking 886 about legislative not quasi - judicial for this. What I am trying to clear on, because I have to write something up for the 887 BOCC, is you want to attend the public hearing and you also want to have a pre- meeting where the public can come 888 and attend. If it involved a piece of property the public is going to get mailed notices and we are going to put notices/ 889 a sign saying come to the Planning Board meeting and let them know what you think. At that meeting will you all 890 make a recommendation prior to the public hearing or do you want to wait until after the public hearing to make a 891 recommendation? 892 893 Pete Hallenbeck: I think we can no more guarantee we can make a recommendation than the Commissioners can 894 guarantee they can make a decision at the quarterly public hearing much as happened with the solar project. I think 895 the best the Planning Board can do is to provide feedback based on our knowledge on the communities we come 896 from and maybe comment on what people say and yes there is a bit of a challenge there because there may be time 897 when all we can do is except that input and frankly there won't be a whole lot we can say that is terribly intelligent 898 other than thank you for the input. 899 900 Perdita Holtz: So after the public hearing you want to make a recommendation still so my concern is that on 901 legislative items, that do not have a neighborhood information meeting, you are now adding an additional meeting 902 before the public hearing that is going to make the process longer. I want to make sure that. 903 904 Pete Hallenbeck: I don't think I was saying it that way. 905 906 Perdita Holtz: You're having a Planning Board meeting that we are going to send out notices. 907 908 Craig Benedict: We'll send out the letter out and decide. 909 910 Perdita Holtz: No, they're saying they don't want to decide, I know that is what we talked about two weeks ago but 911 this is not what's being talked about tonight. They want to wait to decide until after the public hearing. 912 17
