Some material is forwarded to 79 departments such as the Department of Environment, Resource, and Conservation regarding roads and streams. In 80 the coming year,we will suggest a follow up to our 2008 approved Comprehensive Plan regarding trends and new 81 census information. Eight separate advisory boards were active in the preparation of the 2008 Comprehensive Plan 82 and there were joint meetings that occurred. If we develop a good framework,we can get with the commissioners of 83 the other boards and be efficient in however we meet. 84 85 Paul Guthrie: Do you have any people to monitor what is going on, in the other boards? 86 87 Craig Benedict: Yes. We have small divisions in planning that are special projects divisions which Perdita is a part 88 of. Ashley Moncado works with the Housing Department and the school board for some of the staff. Perdita has 89 helped as liaison with the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board. Tom Altieri will help with the framework of the 90 Comprehensive Plan update. 91 92 Craig Benedict: The commissioners have asked about economic development.

We 104 have elements to help correct things like junk cars and major health hazards. Not the ability as much as we need to 105 accomplish having things looking good in and around our economic development zones. When we have these urban 106 designated areas in the county, should we not have similar municipal controls to protect that intensity of value that we 107 have designated in a part of the county? We will put this in our legislative package to the legislature. 108 109 Randy Marshall: At one time,didn't Orange County have a program to rid of dilapidated mobile homes? Is there 110 anything that you could do to pursue that?
