He said his perception is that the Commissioners will do an intense study of the document and he would not like to see the Commission get bogged down in work sessions when the finished product might be something very different from what the Commission sends to the County Commissioners. John F. Taylor and Hal Willard disagreed. Mr. Taylor said the Commission needs to send over their best work and simply passing it on to the County Commissioners would be abrogating its responsibility. Mr. Willard stated he has been impressed with the depth of some of the public comment, and he thinks some of the public knows the document better than the commission members and better than he does. Ms. Hayden stated that 243 comments have been received on the ULDC since the public hearing, and the comments have been split up between her, Sue Veith, and Jeffrey Jackman to provide responses.
Staff is very close to being finished with the comments.
The Commission was receptive to this suggestion, and this will be discussed at the August 21 st work session.
