This ordinance would be a legislative ask to enforce the same rights the 199 <br />Towns can enforce in more urban areas of the county where water and sewer exists. This may be in areas where the 200 <br />County is focusing on economic development. Mass gatherings ordinance will need to be started again with the new 201 <br />EMS Director. 202 <br /> 203 <br />Tony Blake stated concern with the public misunderstanding these ordinances and putting additional demands on the 204 <br />sheriff’s department. 205 <br /> 206 <br />Tony Blake stated the need to pursue wireless broadband access with the County EMS towers due to the want at the 207 <br />residential level and need at the EMS level. 208 <br /> 209 <br />Randy Marshall asked if areas of nuisance needed to be defined. 210 <br /> 211 <br />Craig Benedict responded yes and that nuisance will be clarified. 212 <br /> 8
