23 <br /> 1 Leigh Anne King said they recommended that they look at those plans and especially <br /> 2 number 2. She said there is a level of preciseness that they can get to by working with other <br /> 3 groups that are working in these areas. She said it is possible to shift the process by getting more <br /> 4 detailed information to incorporate but they are not recommending that at this time because these <br /> 5 are hypothetical at this point. She said they can come back and look at the underlying data when <br /> 6 they are creating the preferred conservation growth framework. She said that she wanted to be <br /> 7 clear that they would not be fully incorporating every detail because there are timing issues. <br /> 8 Commissioner Richards said that if the final plan was in conflict with one of these plans, <br /> 9 she would want to understand that.

She said that it would be nice to try to <br /> 22 avoid those. <br /> 23 Leigh Anne King said they want to start off with the best that they can so that they are <br /> 24 moving forward with something that can happen. <br /> 25 <br /> 26 Slide #42 <br /> • To stay on schedule, will need any further BOCC <br /> inputs by middle of May 2024. <br /> 27 <br /> 28 <br /> 29 <br />
