She asked for any advice on 2 the general statute that outlines the criteria for the validity of an Airport Commission. 3 Chair Jacobs said that this is a public hearing on the Comprehensive Land Use Plan and 4 he suggested that she ask the County Attorney.. about the last question. Regarding the first two 5 questions, the Board makes appointments in public session. The Board of County 6 Commissioners had nothing to do with creating the Senate bill and it was not consulted. 7 Whatever information the Board receives, it will share with the public. g Steve Yuhasz complimented the Planning staff and all of the advisory boards on 9 compiling all of the policies that form County government decisions. He thinks that the real 10 planning will have to take place in the implementation phase. This is where everyone will need 11 to stay involved and stay informed. One specific item in the plan is in the Economic 12 Development Element on page 316, lines 42-45, in particular, the statement that, "maintaining 13 this quality of life will require enhanced revenue streams to cover the costs of new or expanded 14 services." It goes on to say that, "higher level of services can be provided with additional 15 economic development. He thinks that a commitment to ever-expanding levels of service 16 provided by the County is toa much of a burden to put on the County and~to include in this 17 Comprehensive Plan.

I would like these comments to be made part of the record of the public 31 hearing and to have copies of these comments made available to the BOCC and OCPB, as well 32 as the others listed above. 33 34 There are two sets of comments. 35 36 The first set relates to Chapter 9, the Transportation Element of the Comprehensive Plan. The 37 main purpose of these comments is to restore the original Transportation Goal 1 and its 38 Objectives. Any other specific comments on the comprehensive plan will come later. 39 40 The second set provides brief overall comments. 41 42 CHAPTER 9 -TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT 43 44 The OUTBoard revisions to the May 6 draft of the Comprehensive Plan strengthen the 45 document in many ways. However, the revisions delete the first objective (in the May 6 draft) 46 that focuses on a multi-modal approach to protecting the environment. 47 48 Given below is a suggested combination of the May 6, 2008 Transportation Element draft Goals 49 and Objectives, and the subsequent OUTBoard recommended changes given in the agenda 50 packet for the August 25, 2008 public hearing. 51 291
