9:58:34 AM Board discussion
10:05:53 AM Commissioner White I'd just make a motion to, and Erin can correct my motion if it's wrong is that this Corrective Action Plan that is before us here that has been placed on record with a date of February 12th, 2014 for the complaint that we've been dealing with, I would make a motion to accept this with a beginning date of today and my motion would include, I take a different approach, Mr. Chair, I think most of it's gonna be done pretty quickly but my motion would be through the end of December 2014, and other than that that's pretty straight forward. My motion is to just accept their corrective action plan with dates and the description of what they have said in here is part of it.
10:07:03 AM Commissioner Skinner Second
10:07:06 AM Board discussion
10:07:07 AM Commissioner Skinner I would like to move to amend the motion. I would move to add some additional language in the Corrective Action Plan on the first sentence to add language such as "or any other material that's in clear violation of the Decay Ordinance".
10:07:31 AM Commissioner White You're taking out "as debris"?
10:07:34 AM Commissioner Skinner No, I'm saying "the material designated as debris" leave in there but then adding another phrase saying "any other material that's in clear violation of the Decay Ordinance".
10:08:12 AM Commissioner White Second
10:08:14 AM Board discussion including Emily Stark
10:08:33 AM Motion passed unanimously.
10:08:36 AM Board discussion
10:09:17 AM Commissioner Skinner I'll move to add a sentence in the corrective action plan that would "Shield all debris in clear violation of the ordinance from view from Jackrabbit and Hulbert Lane".
10:09:40 AM Commissioner White Second
10:09:49 AM Attorney Emily Stark Comments
10:10:00 AM Deputy County Attorney Erin Arnold Requests that Commissioner Skinner repeat his suggested additional language.
10:10:08 AM Commissioner Skinner All debris clearly in violation of the Decay Ordinance will be shielded from view from Jackrabbit and Hulbert Lane.
10:10:25 AM Deputy County Attorney Erin Arnold I agree with that addition.
10:10:30 AM Motion passed unanimously.
10:10:35 AM Commission comments
10:11:05 AM Discussion between the Commission and Erin Arnold
10:12:21 AM Commissioner White I'd make that motion to amend the second paragraph of the Corrective Action Plan, first page, which is, I would insert "No item owned or leased by Peck Forestry tenant". And then on Exhibit B (of the Corrective Action Plan) my motion would include modifying where it says "Peck Forestry Tenant" it would say "Peck Forestry Tenant's Property", so add that to the end of that underlined line, so that's my motion.
10:13:19 AM Commissioner Skinner Second
10:13:23 AM Board discussion including Emily Stark and Erin Arnold
10:15:10 AM Commissioner White I'd amend my motion to add that modification to the second paragraph of the first page. (Add to the beginning "As part of this Corrective Action Plan". Per Erin Arnold this would prevent any subsequent action for Ronald Page if there is a complaint against the tenant.)
10:15:20 AM Commissioner Skinner Second
