18 <br /> 1 supports the rural buffer and these boundaries, and it is important that the BOCC still have veto <br /> 2 power. She said she does not want to turn the power of the elected official over to the staff. <br /> 3 Commissioner Greene said these are political decisions, and she is not in favor of <br /> 4 delegating these to staff. <br /> 5 Commissioner Dorosin said there are levels of decisions that get made, and some are <br /> 6 so minor that having all 5 boards involved is micromanaging. He said the process has been <br /> 7 prioritized over the substance, and it makes it so frustrating for residents. <br /> 8 Commissioner Marcoplos said he thinks the BOCC has completed its work for tonight, <br /> 9 and staff should be allowed a chance to draft a policy taking the BOCC's comments into <br /> 10 account. <br /> 11 Commissioner Greene said the BOCC should vote, because she is not in favor of <br /> 12 wasting staff's time on a draft policy. <br /> 13 Commissioner Dorosin asked if Commissioner Greene's suggestions are a type of <br /> 14 policy. <br /> 15 Commissioner Greene said she does not think so. She said staff can look at a map and <br /> 16 bring back examples that need addressing and let the boards rule. She said these are <br /> 17 proposed action items, and that is different than a policy. She said she would be open to doing <br /> 18 many at one time, but with decisions being made by the boards, not staff. <br /> 19 <br /> 20 A motion was made by Commissioner Greene, seconded by Commissioner Price for <br /> 21 staff to move forward with bringing the BOCC potential action items to change these boarders <br /> 22 consistent with staff recommendations, on staff's timetable; and for the four other jurisdictions to <br /> 23 review. <br /> 24 Commissioner Bedford said she supports this motion, as it is proactive. She reminded <br /> 25 the BOCC that it has voted no on these issues in the past. <br /> 26 Commissioner McKee asked if there is a plan to handle a potential disagreement on one <br /> 27 property in a packet of 10. He said the disagreement on one will send the entire group of 10 <br /> 28 back. <br /> 29 Commissioner Greene said the BOCC could vote on each of the properties in a packet. <br /> 30 Commissioner McKee said he still favors a policy. <br /> 31 Commissioner Dorosin said the other four partners have already approved the possibility <br /> 32 of staff developing a policy. <br /> 33 <br /> 34 Chair Rich called each Commissioner by name (roll call). <br /> 35 <br /> 36 VOTE: Ayes, 4 (Chair Rich, Commissioner Greene, Commissioner Bedford, <br /> 37 Commissioner Price); Nays, 3 (Commissioner McKee, Commissioner Dorosin, and <br /> 38 Commissioner Marcoplos) <br /> 39 <br /> 40 MOTION PASSES 4-3 <br /> 41 <br /> 42 d.
