96 <br />153 MOTION made by Judith Wegner to change Objective 1.8 to read, "Explore policies to use in attracting and <br />154 encouraging the development of companies and enterprises that will build upon, expand, and diversify the Count's <br />155 economic base". Seconded by Jay Bryan. <br />156 VOTE: Unanimous <br />157 <br />158 Renee Price: Do we really need that ~ <br />159 <br />160 Judith Wegner. To modify, designate and have it be identified rather than suggesting that it needs to be flagged. <br />161 <br />162 Jay Bryan: I think it is in. <br />163 <br />164 Craufurd Goodwin: Does it mean zoning? <br />165 <br />166 Judith Wegner. That is why I wanted to change to identify as opposed to designate. To me, identify means that they <br />167 know these possible places, designate suggested <br />168 <br />169 Lany Wright: If land suitable is inverted to land suitable to accommodate and reverse those. <br />170 <br />171 MOTION made by Larry Wright made a motion to modify Objective ED-2.5 to "identify land suitable to accommodate <br />172 the expansion of growth of commercial and industrial uses in the County". Seconded by Judith Wegner. <br />173 VOTE: Unanimous <br />174 <br />175 Judith Wegner. In number 14, I propose to drop the word good and replace it with adequate highway rail. <br />176 <br />177 MOTION made by Judith Wegner to modify Objective ED 2.7 to "Select industrial sites in Economic Development <br />178 Areas based on present and planned supporting systems, such as public water and sewer lines, access to <br />179 adequate highway, rail or public transportation infrastructures, and detrimental environmental or negative <br />180 social outcomes°. Seconded by Renee Price. <br />181 VOTE: Unanimous <br />182 <br />183 Michelle Kempinski: Did we talk about item 13? <br />184 <br />185 Jay Bryan: Unless someone wanted to make an amendment we were not going to through them individually. <br />186 <br />187 Michelle Kempinski: Along the same lines as number 11, this states "encourage and accommodate office facilities be <br />188 developed in areas that are desirable and attractive to make it users. I would suggest to strike the first part of <br />189 the sentence to a period after users. <br />190 <br />191 MOTION made by Michelle Kempinski to strike "encourage and accommodate office facilities to be developed in" and <br />192 insert "identify areas that are desirable and attractive to major corporate users". Seconded by Jay Bryan. <br />193 <br />194 Judith Wegner. What is wrong with stating that it should be tied to public transportation? <br />195 <br />196 Michelle Kempinski: Nothing. It was to strike it but I am open. <br />197 <br />198 Lany Wright: If we are wordsmithing, I think the "and that" inculcates a lot of ambiguity. <br />199 <br />200 Renee Price: I am afraid it changes the meaning. <br />201 <br />
