Approved 2/4/15 <br />6 <br />Paul Guthrie: It seems to me that if this process will work at all, this Board may have a bigger responsibility because 270 <br />we have one shot to raise the critical questions that need to be considered in the decisions and that doesn’t happen 271 <br />in the joint session now where we sit there and listen to something until 11 o’clock at night and then by the time it’s 272 <br />over we can’t even remember what the questions are that you really think need to be considered. I think we have an 273 <br />obligation if this becomes practice to think through how we communicate through staff to the Board of County 274 <br />Commissioners on issues that need to be dealt with by the Commissioners at the time of testimony. The Boards that 275 <br />I have seen operate in this County only occasionally rise to that level. The staff rises to it but I’m not sure the boards 276 <br />do and we need to think about that as a Board. 277 <br /> 278 <br />Perdita Holtz: Probably what will happen is that the Planning Board minutes will become part of that public hearing 279 <br />packet. 280 <br /> 281 <br />Craig Benedict: We would accent anything different that occurred in the application from the original material. We do 282 <br />accent any new information, any change in information that has occurred from the original application and evidentiary 283 <br />material that comes forward. 284 <br /> 285 <br />Pete Hallenbeck: Ok, so the action for tonight is? 286 <br /> 287 <br />Perdita Holtz: Is there consensus that this flowchart captured the quasi-judicial discussion. 288 <br /> 289 <br />MOTION by Paul Guthrie that the flowchart captured the Planning Board discussion of the quasi-judicial process. 290 <br />Seconded by Buddy Hartley. 291 VOTE: UNANIMOUS 292 <br /> 293 <br />Lydia Wegman: Let me clarify. I am voting to say the flowchart captures what we’ve talked about, I am not saying I 294 <br />agree with it just to be clear. 295 <br /> 296 297 AGENDA ITEM 9: COMMITTEE/ADVISORY BOARD REPORTS: 298 <br />a.
