2 Draft <br /> 1 <br /> 2 Beth Bronson: I wanted to make one correction if you didn't mind. <br /> 3 <br /> 4 Leon Meyers: All right. <br /> 5 <br /> 6 Beth Bronson: I apologize. That was, it's towards the end, and I apologize, I left my notes in my other document. <br /> 7 Towards the end. It is going to be at the end. It was really just about making sure that I was saying <br /> 8 something where I was saying okay to you and not to the speaker. But at this point, it is nominal <br /> 9 because I made sure that the vote was reflected correctly. <br /> 10 <br /> 11 Leon Meyers: All right. Any other questions or concerns, board members, or a motion to approve? <br /> 12 <br /> 13 Kyle Myers: Motion to approve. <br /> 14 <br /> 15 Jeff Scott: Second. <br /> 16 <br /> 17 Leon Meyers: You, Ashley, you look like you're about to say something. Does that relate to the minutes? <br /> 18 <br /> 19 Ashley Moncado: Oh, no, sorry. <br /> 20 <br /> 21 Leon Meyers: No, okay. All right. Then all in favor of approving the minutes, please say aye. And opposed? <br /> 22 <br /> 23 MOTION was made by Kyle Myers. Seconded by Jeff Scott. <br /> 24 <br /> 25 VOTE: Unanimous. All in favor. <br /> 26 <br /> 27 AGENDA ITEM 4&5: PUBLIC CHARGE & POTENTIAL BOA CONFLICT OF INTEREST <br /> 28 STATEMENT <br /> 29 <br /> 30 Leon Meyers: Then, folks, please bear with me while I read the public charge. <br /> 31 <br /> 32 Board of Adjustment pledges to the citizens of Orange County its respect. The Board asks its citizens to conduct <br /> 33 themselves in a respectful, courteous manner, both with the Board and with fellow citizens. At <br /> 34 any time should any member of the Board or any citizen fail to observe the public charge, then <br /> 35 I'll ask the offending person to leave the meeting until that individual regains personal control, <br /> 36 and we'll recess the meeting if necessary to come to an orderly meeting. <br /> 37 <br /> 38 The Board of Adjustment is a quasi-judicial administrative body established in accordance with the provisions of <br /> 39 local regulations and State law to perform specified functions related to the County's planning <br /> 40 program. Actions taken by the board are based solely on competent, material, and substantial <br /> 41 evidence presented during a scheduled and advertised public hearing on a particular item. As <br /> 42 detailed within Section 2.12.2 of the UP TO DATE, the Board chair is responsible to exclude <br /> 43 evidence and testimony that's deemed: `irrelevant, incompetent, immaterial, or unduly <br /> 44 repetitious' and therefore fails to reasonably address the issues before the Board of <br /> 45 Adjustment. While it should be noted there is no time limit on presentation of evidence, I do <br /> 46 ask that the presentation of evidence be consistent with established policies and rules of <br /> 47 procedure and acceptable levels of decorum to ensure a fair and equitable hearing for all <br /> 48 parties. <br /> 2 <br />
