County Manager's Report <br /> Bonnie Hammersley highlighted three information items: the first is the BOCC Elections <br /> Advisory Group report, which she wanted to give the Board and public a chance to read. She <br /> said this is scheduled for discussion on October 5. She said staff will try to do the same with <br /> information on Broadband, as it develops. She said Nancy Freeman, Tax Administrator, will be <br /> available on September 14 to share the developments on the Tax Appeals process. She said <br /> there is also an update on the Buckhorn Outreach Plan and what was done over the summer. <br /> She said staff will try to keep Board apprised of developments in small group updates. <br /> Chair Price said she would like to meet some of the new Directors and people who have <br /> taken over for retirees. <br /> Bonnie Hammersley said Rebecca Crawford, formerly Quintana Stewart's assistant in <br /> the Health Department, has taken over Paul Laughton's position following his retirement. She <br /> said she will also introduce the Board to the new Animal Services Director, Dr. Sandra Strong, <br /> at the September 14th meeting. <br /> 10. County Attorney's Report <br /> John Roberts said he usually does legislative updates by email, but wanted to point out <br /> a couple because they will directly affect BOCC meetings, and even affected the meeting <br /> tonight. He said the 24-hour waiting period after public hearings, which has caused the Board <br /> to not be able to make some decisions on the night of a public hearing, was amended and no <br /> longer applies. He said going forward there will not have to be a delay. He said the Governor <br /> signed a bill today that has been several years in the making, which makes it harder for <br /> counties to adopt ordinances with misdemeanors as part of the enforcement provisions and flat <br /> out prohibits misdemeanors and certain types of ordinances such as land use ordinances, <br /> zoning subdivisions, etc. <br />
