LIM <br />Approved 11/5/14 <br />967 Paul Guthrie: Probably a good idea. <br />968 <br />969 Laura Nicholson: To me there is just some things that seem really cut and dried and there are some things that are <br />970 really squishy. Is there a way we can delineate that and say these things we agree on and bring a recommendation <br />971 on these things and these things we still want to talk about more, is that a possibility? <br />972 <br />973 Pete Hallenbeck: Part of why I tried to say it's important to be at the QPH not wild about the quorum and you're <br />974 comments you really think the quorum will help. The Planning Board taking citizen input, it sounds like everybody is <br />975 good with that and more input is good. We realize this is legislative that is 88% of what we see, all Planning Board <br />976 members get notification of any neighborhood information meetings and we realize that the quasi-judicial is a <br />977 problem for another day we need more education as there are very strict rules. That's ok because we've just dealt <br />978 with 88% of what we deal with and I would say that's the summation of what we are putting before the <br />979 Commissioners along with this process. <br />980 <br />981 Craig Benedict: Chair, based on the direction the Commissioners gave the manager and the attorney and staff is this <br />982 interim report is not going to make decision so, that interim report will say probably some things are easier to achieve <br />983 and some things are a little bit harder so I think in essence we are going to get some ideas on which way we can <br />984 move with it. Where's there's some clarity and which areas might need a little more time. That's why they said the <br />985 November 611 meeting wouldn't have everything done by then. We'll let them know where we are in the process that <br />986 we were getting consensus on some areas and we are also determining that there are differences, clear differences, <br />987 on how the Board's role is for quasi-judicial versus legislative and how we get community input that might take a little <br />988 longer. <br />989 <br />990 Pete Hallenbeck: That's also why we're not going to vote tonight on this and what we recommend. We've talked <br />991 they get to sludge through it and see what we're thinking and it goes on from there. Ok, the last item on the agenda, <br />992 I'll entertain a motion to adjourn <br />993 <br />994 <br />995 AGENDA 11: COMMITTEEIADVISORY BOARD RTS: <br />996 a.

I am very <br />1015 sorry to be missing the discussion tonight. As a new member of the Board, I feel I would benefit from hearing the <br />1016 views of the folks who have served on the Board longer than I. I do, however, have two thoughts to offer, which are <br />1017 laid out in the next paragraph. In addition to that, I plan to read the minutes of tonight's discussion and then offer my <br />1018 thoughts on the conclusions reached, if any. I know this is not the best way to engage in discussion, but given that I <br />1019 am out of town, I think it's the best I can do. <br />1020 <br />19 <br />
