4 Michael Harvey: Well, the definitions of these are for people. We have kennel operations in this ordinance that will be dealing 162 with animals, pets. We have existing land use categories addressing the care of animals. 163 164 Kim Piracci: So you just feel like to say human care is redundant? 165 166 Michael Harvey: My opinion, yes. It doesn’t mean it’s not a good idea, but my opinion it’s redundant. It’s not something I don’t 167 mind looking at but I think with the definition structure we have it’s becomes apparent quickly that this is for the care of the 168 elderly, or the care of children, or the care… 169 170 Kim Piracci: What if we haven’t gotten to animals or shelter or whatever yet? I mean, to me it’s not that obvious. 171 172 Michael Harvey: Ok, you’re entitled to your opinion. 173 174 Tony Blake: I tend to agree, but that’s just me. What would… 175 176 Kim Piracci: So, I mean is there not room for discussion on it? If two of us are feeling the same way… 177 178 Michael Harvey: There is room for discussion but I think that... 179 180 Kim Piracci: You’re not going to change your mind. 181 182 Tony Blake: No, we’re not going to change his mind. 183 184 Michael Harvey: I think that you are losing sight of the fact that there are specific sections dealing with the care of animal 185 independent of this. I think that’ you’re forgetting the fact that we have definitions that will be defining this is what these 186 activities entail, where it’s spelled out that this is for care for people. I think that if I’m too add human here then that to me is 187 redundant and unnecessary. There’s not education facilities for dogs. That’s why we have the kennel. 188 189 Kim Piracci: It’s one word in one spot. 190 191 Randy Marshall: But if you’ve got… If you’re looking at care and facilities here and you look at definitions it’s talking about not 192 animals. There’s this whole different section about animals, so I don’t think it’s a problem. 193 194 Michael Harvey: If this Board wants to vote to recommend adding the word human and that’s your recommendation I’ll 195 certainly add it. But I think it’s redundant and unnecessary. You have my opinion, you can disagree with me, and this body can 196 certainly vote to say add the word human and I will honor that request. 197 198 Lydia Wegman: Just a better option would be if you felt it was appropriate to say child and adult care. To me, the use of the 199 word human is quite awkward. 200 201 Kim Piracci: It’s weird. It’s awkward. It is awkward. 202 203 Lydia Wegman: Yeah. If the desire is to make it clear it’s for humans I would just say child and adult. 204 205 Michael Harvey: Well, one of the reasons I eliminated child is because care becomes universal. It’s just not about child or 206 adult. It’s care and education. 207 208 Inaudible 209 210 Lydia Wegman: I’m just saying, you have a list of adult daycare, child daycare facilities, so it would not necessarily be 211 inappropriate if there’s a strong feeling that… 212 213 Michael Harvey: So, I’m hearing there’s a strong feeling to add the word child and adult care and educational facilities. 214 215 8
