Approved 7.10.24 Lamar Proctor: No, that means, they will not. If you don't sign up tonight, even if we go multiple sessions, if we go 456 to July, you can't sign up to speak at the public comments section in July. These agenda items are what were 457 started, and this sign-up sheet is the totality of those who have signed up for public comment. Regardless if we go 458 June, July and August. 459 460 Dolores Bailey: And are you going to give an opportunity for a member of the public who sits there and then 461 decides they want to sign up to sign up? 462 463 Lamar Proctor: No, once we start the public comment portion, and I think that's fair, unless anyone disagrees, to 464 leave the sheets out until we begin the public comment portion and then we'll take them up and then we'll begin 465 hearing public comment, the sign-up will be closed at that point. 466 467 Beth Bronson: Acknowledging that there is another public comment period during the BOCC's public hearing. 468 469 Lamar Proctor: Right, this is not the final answer on this project. We make our recommendation and it goes 470 forward to the Board of County Commissioners. 471 472 Marilyn Carter: Mr. Vice Chair, my point of view is that someone may hear something in comment and then have a 473 point of view about it. 474 475 Statler Gilfillen: Can we do it this way? If they are here this evening, can they sign up to the end of tonight to 476 speak, even though it may mean that the next time instead of censoring it or stopping it right before anybody speaks, 477 just be flexible. 478 479 Lamar Proctor: Well, I think for efficiency purposes, because we collect the sign-up sheets and begin the process, I 480 think people during the presentation if they hear something that they want to comment on, they can sign up for that 481 item but once we begin, my plan as Chair would be to take up the sign-up sheets once we begin the public comment 482 portion. 483 484 Charity Kirk: You're welcome to pass on your sign-up on speaking too, if you don't have anything to talk about. 485 We don't mind. 486 487 Dolores Bailey: So after we're done talking about 7 we can't talk about it again, that's what you're saying. 488 489 Lamar Proctor: Yeah, I mean, that'll be it, once we collect the sign-up sheets at the beginning of the public 490 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 491 to these agenda items, because we will not have an opportunity to sign up again in July or in August if this goes into 492 multiple sessions. And that has been our general practice just so everyone knows that this has been our rule is that 493 those who sign up when we begin the agenda items are the ones who are permitted to speak, you can't come in 494 halfway through the process and then sign up. 495 496 Chris Johnston: Returning to the staff presentation, to confirm on Item 3, the proposal brings the Orange County 497 UDO in conformance with the intent of NCGS 160D, we're just aligning the state definitions, correct, so really, there's 498 not a whole lotta discussion there. We have to follow the state requirements for family care facilities, correct? 499 500 Cy Stober: So, the application brought this to light, that we were not in conformance with the statute, and to be 501 fair, the statute was adopted in 2021 so it's still fairly recent, and this was a new update. 502 503 Marilyn Carter: Just a point of information in our process, if the board is in agreement with an item earlier versus 504 later and perhaps once we get to the point of staff's presentation completing, would that be something we would vote 505
