~ -a~-~ ~ ~~ Geof Gledhill said that if the Board approves this plan tonight, then there will be minor modifications to the agreement in the abstract to incorporate that. A motion was made by Commissioner Jacobs, seconded by Commissioner Foushee to approve contracting with Speedway Management for the provision of Emergency Medico! coverage to ensure public safety at public events at the Orange County Speedway and authorize the Chair to sign upon review by the County Attorney. Commissioner Nelson asked that the Manager report back to the Board an the 1596 overage. Laura Blackmon said that she will look at the agreements. VOTE: UNANIMOUS c. Approval of 2007 Goals The Board considered reviewing and approving goal statements far 2©07. Laura Blackmon said that this was an the agenda for last week's work session, but there was not time to address it. She asked for any questions or comments. Commissioner Gordon made reference to page 8, Lands Legacy Program, and said that since there is a Lands Legacy action plan, there should be a sentence after "generations" that says, "Specific projects will be identified in the Lands Legacy Action Plan adopted periodically by the Board of County Commissioners." Dave Stancil said that the staff pulled from the items in the action plan. Commissioner Gordon said that a little redundancy would not hurt and she said to add it. Commissioner Gordon asked about numbers of acres and suggested referring to them as "targets".

Commissioner Gordon agreed with adding the Breeze Farm incubator issue, but there are a lot of issues with the rural enterprise opportunities, and some of them have to do with siting heavy industrial uses near suburbanizing areas and in the rural buffer. She does not want to put this in the goal. Commissioner Jacobs agreed with leaving it out and stated that this is supposed to be a consensus document. Chair Carey said that he agrees with the fair funding discussion that this was not an adopted goal of the Board of County Commissioners. He thinks that this needs to be tweaked. The other concern that he has is in the first goal statement, which is, "Target future Countywide Ad Valorem property tax rate increases at amounts required to pay debt service for non-
