Frank Clifton said that they would not be precluded, but the issue would be the tower <br /> company spending the money to build the tower. It would have to go through the public <br /> process. <br /> Commissioner Gordon said that she would like to formally remove the three sites—7, 8, <br /> and 9—from the resolution. <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Nelson, seconded by Commissioner Pelissier to <br /> approve the staff recommendation by: selecting the County properties identified on the <br /> attached map (Attachment 1) for potential tower locations; enroll the list of candidate sites <br /> (Attachment 2 —sites 1-0 only) into the Master Telecommunications Plan (MTP); and approve <br /> the attached resolution enrolling the aforementioned public properties into the MTP program <br /> (Attachment 3). <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> D. ADJOURNMENT OF PUBLIC HEARING <br /> E. NON-PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS <br /> 1. State of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan: November 18th is the first anniversary of the <br /> adoption of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Consistent with Plan recommendations for <br /> monitoring and evaluation, staff is providing a status report to the BOCC. Status reports <br /> are to occur every other year beginning one-year after Plan adoption. <br /> Comprehensive Planning Supervisor Tom Altieri said that this is the first anniversary of <br /> adoption of the Comprehensive Plan. The status report is to be given to the boards every other <br /> year, beginning one year after plan adoption. He said that staff sees this first report as a report <br /> from which to build. Multiple County departments have been involved in this reporting process. <br /> He clarified that the page numbers in the table of contents reference numbers at the bottom of <br /> the page and not the top. He summarized the sections of the report. Section 4 has concluding <br /> remarks. He said that the key take-away from this report is that plan implementation has <br /> started. On page 50, there are some ideas on how to improve the reports. <br /> Commissioner Pelissier said that she liked the recommendations on the last page on <br /> how to improve the report. She said that it is misleading for some items to be checked off the <br /> list as completed because they are ongoing. She said that she would like to see the report <br /> emphasize that several departments have worked on some related objectives. <br /> Commissioner Gordon made reference to page 49 and Transportation and mentioned <br /> State legislation concerning funding of transit system. She said that it is time to plan systems. <br /> 2. Census 2010 Complete Count Committee (CCC) Update: Staff will provide a brief <br /> update on the activities of the Committee, formed to help build awareness about the <br /> census, why it is important, and encourage participation. <br /> Tom Altieri presented this item. April 1st is Census day in 2010. The questionnaires will <br /> be mailed to County residents in mid-March. He said that the Census is important as the data <br /> are used to determine congressional seats and federal funding —Title I grants to schools, Head <br /> Start programs, and public transit. In May, the Board of County Commissioners appointed a <br /> Complete Count Committee and invited representatives from local government agencies, school <br /> systems, Chambers of Commerce, religious organizations, and the media to serve. The sole <br /> purpose of the committee is to promote the Census and to help maximize participation and mail <br /> S:1Minutes12009 1 1 23 QPH.doc <br />
