by itself, the requirement to hold three public hearings would apply. Ms. Martz inquired
if the three hearings would be required if there were amendments to Resolution No. 1
(Natural Lands) and/or Resolution No. 2 (Rural Boundary Property Removal), and
Attorney Simmons responded the public hearings would be required if the amendments
were substantive.
Ms. Martz inquired if there was time to have three public hearings before the deadline
to submit the resolutions to the BoCC and Supervisor of Elections, and it was
determined there would not be sufficient time.
Motion by Scott Culp, seconded by Rusty Roberts, to move approval of Resolution
No. 1.
Discussion ensued.
Marilyn Crotty made a friendly amendment to include County-owned parks to require
a supermajority to transfer or materially change the use of natural lands or
county-owned parks. Robin Dehlinger seconded the amendment.
There was discussion on the friendly amendment.
All members in attendance voted NAY on the friendly amendment, with the exception
of Deborah Bauer, Marilyn Crotty, and Robin Dehlinger who voted AYE. The
amendment fails for lack of majority.
All members in attendance voted AYE on the motion with the exception of Tom
O'Hanlon and John Horan who voted NAY. The motion passes by a majority.

Resolution No. 2 Ballot Title: Requiring Supermajority vote by County
Commissioners to remove lands from the County’s Rural Area
Motion by John Horan, seconded by Scott Culp, to do nothing.
Discussion ensued. Ms. Smith inquired if the motion to do nothing means Chairman
Horan is advocating for not moving forward on Resolution No. 2. Chairman Horan
responded, "Resolution No. 1, good, and Resolution No. 2, no." Mr. Culp, as the
seconder, stated it was his understanding they were addressing at this meeting the
items to come before the CRC on the 20th. Even if they make this motion, they don't
need any other amendments to it, but it would still be voted on, on June 20th. After
further discussion, Chairman Horan withdrew his motion.
Motion by Colleen Hufford, seconded by Michelle Smith, to accept what is on Page 48
as requiring a majority by County Commission to remove property from the County's
rural boundary by a supermajority.
Under discussion, Mr. Culp confirmed with the motioner and seconder the motion only
has to do with the wording to be presented to the CRC on June 20th.
Discussion on the motion ensued.
