3 <br /> 1 John Roberts said call in meetings are allowed by law, but this board does not have any <br /> 2 procedures addressing call in meetings and the BOCC would need to vote to set aside the rules <br /> 3 of procedure for that purpose. <br /> 4 Commissioner Marcoplos clarified that all other entities have signed off on this item, <br /> 5 without any controversy. <br /> 6 Emila Harris said all have signed, without controversy. <br /> 7 Commissioner Marcoplos said those involved seem to need and want this taken care of <br /> 8 as soon as possible and he is favor of getting it done this evening. <br /> 9 Commissioner Dorosin said addressing this item tonight is not against the rules, or <br /> 10 without precedence. <br /> 11 John Roberts said it is just a matter of whether the Board wants to add this to the <br /> 12 agenda. <br /> 13 Commissioner McKee said his comment has nothing to do with being for or against any <br /> 14 rules, but rather his comment is meant to show that the 18t" is just as expedient as tonight, and <br /> 15 the BOCC sits as a body twice a month, and voting tonight is simply being done for the <br /> 16 Commissioners' convenience, which should not be the priority. He said he will not vote in favor <br /> 17 of this, as he is well paid to serve in the role of Commissioner, and takes the obligation <br /> 18 seriously. He said just because there has been no controversy thus far is irrelevant. He said <br /> 19 the public may wish to say something at the BOCC meeting, but will not have the chance to do <br /> 20 so if the meeting does not occur. <br /> 21 Commissioner Price asked if the other entities, involved with this item, allowed for public <br /> 22 comment. <br /> 23 Emila Harris said she does not know if the Town of Chapel Hill allowed for public <br /> 24 comment, but the Town did sign off on the item. <br /> 25 <br /> 26 A motion was made by Commissioner Marcoplos, seconded by Commissioner Dorosin <br /> 27 to cancel the February 18t" BOCC Business meeting. <br /> 28 <br /> 29 VOTE: Ayes, 5 (Chair Rich, Commissioner Marcoplos, Commissioner Price, <br /> 30 Commissioner Greene, Commissioner Dorosin); Nays, 2 (Commissioner McKee and <br /> 31 Commissioner Bedford) <br /> 32 <br /> 33 A motion was made by Commissioner Greene, seconded by Commissioner Dorosin to <br /> 34 add the housing item, Proposed Consent and Subordination Agreement to Provide Greenfield <br /> 35 Commons Access to and Use of Dumpster Facilities Located at Greenfield, to the agenda <br /> 36 tonight. <br /> 37 <br /> 38 VOTE: Ayes, 5 (Chair Rich, Commissioner Marcoplos, Commissioner Price, <br /> 39 Commissioner Greene, Commissioner Dorosin); Nays, 2 (Commissioner McKee and <br /> 40 Commissioner Bedford) <br /> 41 <br /> 42 Chair Rich said that James Williams was recently appointed by the Governor to the <br /> 43 Martin Luther King (MLK) Jr. Commission, and she would like to swear him in tonight at this <br /> 44 meeting. She asked if the Board was amendable to this swearing in. <br /> 45 The Board agreed by consensus to add this item to the agenda. <br /> 46 James Williams said his appointment to the MLK Jr. Commission was made by <br /> 47 Governor Cooper to represent Orange County. He said he is honored to be appointed, as MLK <br /> 48 had an impact on him personally. <br />
