/7 ' � a 2b 1 making a judgment about what's significant enough to be referred back to the Planning 2 Board doesn't work. Obviously, it will be referred back on one occasion and not on 3 others and the citizens will have difficulty understanding why one thing was referred 4 and another was not. 5 6 COUNTY ATTORNEY GEOFFREY GLEDHILL, stated that a possible solution would be to 7 leave the Public Hearing open solely for the purpose of hearing the Planning Board's 3 recommendation. He indicated that the concern which caused him to write the letter was 9 that in reviewing the Planning Board's meeting minutes it became apparent that. 0 information was coining into the Public Hearing process that was not a part of the Public 1 Hearing, either through staff reports or otherwise. All of that should occur before the 2 public hearing is closed because it is pertinent, valuable information. However, 3 deciding how to get it into the process is the problem. Leaving the Public Hearing open 4 until all that is left is a decision is one way of getting this information into the 5 process. Limiting the last round of the Public Hearing is a way of accomplishing that 6 by stating that nothing will be heard at that point except the Planning Board's 7 recommendation. The Planning Board's recommendation could contain whatever information 3 had come to it outside of the Public Hearing. 9 • 0 LINK suggested that the statement be made that the "Public Hearing is held open 1 until the Commissioner's receive the Planning Board's recommendation. 2 3 CHAIRMAN CAREY stated that when it is held open for the Planning Board's 4 recommendation it must be advertised as a Public Hearing. 5 at if the was urned until no ne GLEDHILL stated th me adjo ' 6 - � - _ - etingYy - w information was 7 e x pected se.:. _ . g . . _ _ __ necessary t readverti ;...:..:.- .. _ . .: . .. . ___ - cted than it is not n _ . -= -- hop to 0 � STEVE Y[IHASZ" lann�nngBoarddwouldebe written not verbal that any information - , Planning - coming before the P g rbal because the meetings I are barely able to cover all pertinent information as it is.
