25 <br /> 1 Commissioner Price said she has concerns about the limited use of the back patio, due <br /> 2 to the limited access to this space. She said there is only one way to get to the back patio due <br /> 3 to landscaping and the wall. She said if one wants to use the patio, one must be able bodied. <br /> 4 Ken Redfoot said a wheelchair bound person could access it, but all must come outside <br /> 5 the building to access the patio. <br /> 6 Commissioner Price asked if it is possible to access the patio from the living room. <br /> 7 Ken Redfoot said staff likes the patio, and wanted to increase its size. <br /> 8 Commissioner Price said that would be an option, and there could be a section of patio <br /> 9 that is level with parking lot grade, and another section that is level with the floor of the addition. <br /> 10 Ken Redfoot said this is a good idea, and he will look into it further. <br /> 11 Janice Tyler, Department on Aging Director, said the back patio was found space due to <br /> 12 an emergency exit being there. <br /> 13 Commissioner Price said her campaign is that everyone be able to get everywhere. She <br /> 14 said if this will remain a fire exit, then all do not need access through it; but should this change <br /> 15 then she would like all to have access. <br /> 16 Ken Redfoot said this will remain an emergency exit. <br /> 17 <br /> 18 8.

He referred to <br /> 32 the section that says the parcels will transfer under the "weed and seed initiative to a weed and <br /> 33 seed recipient, a private non-profit organization". He asked if the weed and seed recipient is <br /> 34 known, and who makes that decision. <br /> 35 Bonnie Hammersley said the recipient is not known, and the Board of County <br /> 36 Commissioners will decide whom that will be.
