15 456 Lamar Proctor: No,that means, they will not. If you don't sign up tonight, even if we go multiple sessions, if we go 457 to July,you can't sign up to speak at the public comments section in July. These agenda items are what were 458 started, and this sign-up sheet is the totality of those who have signed up for public comment. Regardless if we go 459 June,July and August. 460 461 Dolores Bailey: And are you going to give an opportunity for a member of the public who sits there and then 462 decides they want to sign up to sign up? 463 464 Lamar Proctor: No, once we start the public comment portion, and I think that's fair, unless anyone disagrees, to 465 leave the sheets out until we begin the public comment portion and then we'll take them up and then we'll begin 466 hearing public comment, the sign-up will be closed at that point. 467 468 Beth Bronson: Acknowledging that there is another public comment period during the BOCC's public hearing. 469 470 Lamar Proctor: Right,this is not the final answer on this project. We make our recommendation and it goes 471 forward to the Board of County Commissioners. 472 473 Marilyn Carter: Mr.Vice Chair, my point of view is that someone may hear something in comment and then have a 474 point of view about it. 475 476 Statler Gilfillen: Can we do it this way? If they are here this evening, can they sign up to the end of tonight to 477 speak,even though it may mean that the next time instead of censoring it or stopping it right before anybody speaks, 478 just be flexible. 479 480 Lamar Proctor: Well, I think for efficiency purposes, because we collect the sign-up sheets and begin the process, 1 481 think people during the presentation if they hear something that they want to comment on,they can sign up for that 482 item but once we begin, my plan as Chair would be to take up the sign-up sheets once we begin the public comment 483 portion. 484 485 Charity Kirk: You're welcome to pass on your sign-up on speaking too, if you don't have anything to talk about. 486 We don't mind. 487 488 Dolores Bailey: So after we're done talking about 7 we can't talk about it again, that's what you're saying. 489 490 Lamar Proctor: Yeah, I mean,that'll be it, once we collect the sign-up sheets at the beginning of the public 491 speaking portion,that's it, so I just want the public be aware that they need to sign up now if they want to be heard as 492 to these agenda items, because we will not have an opportunity to sign up again in July or in August if this goes into 493 multiple sessions. And that has been our general practice just so everyone knows that this has been our rule is that 494 those who sign up when we begin the agenda items are the ones who are permitted to speak, you can't come in 495 halfway through the process and then sign up. 496 497 Chris Johnston: Returning to the staff presentation, to confirm on Item 3, the proposal brings the Orange County 498 UDO in conformance with the intent of NCGS 160D,we're just aligning the state definitions, correct, so really, there's 499 not a whole lotta discussion there. We have to follow the state requirements for family care facilities, correct? 500 501 Cy Stober: So,the application brought this to light,that we were not in conformance with the statute, and to be 502 fair, the statute was adopted in 2021 so it's still fairly recent, and this was a new update. 503 504 Marilyn Carter: Just a point of information in our process, if the board is in agreement with an item earlier versus 505 later and perhaps once we get to the point of staffs presentation completing,would that be something we would vote
