timeline. But to me it's not going to create an effective process. I think the County needs to have the authority as it is granted under 13-284 to make its own decisions about impacts on historic sites. So, you need to have that information up front. KNOWLES: I agree Commissioner Vitousek. I think it actually is also very helpful because it sets it up front that this is a priority for the County and requires people to kind of go through the steps early on rather than go back and forth. VITOUSEK: Right. DEFRANCO: So, okay. Well, I was just asking for some clarification because if we want to pursue this and to incorporate this language or make it a change here. I think we have to actually; we can't really actually do it here. We can either affirm or negate what we want to go forward and if we want to change something with an amendment to what they're asking then we have to give the public 30 days' notice. Am I hearing this right? SALAS-FERGUSON: Yes, so, Deputy Corporation Counsel Sinclair Salas-Ferguson here. So, today the public has been provided notice of the changes to the rules as they're are written here today. So, the Commission can make a decision today to accept or reject. But if the board members suggests the significant change to a rule that wasn't provided in the notice, then we've have to give the public 30 days' notice. So, what the Commission can do today is say, for example, you want to accept the majority of the changes but there's a certain changes that you don't want to accept, you can reject that and then suggest changes to the Planning Department. And then they would issue those changes and then the public would have the opportunity to comment on it and then we could come back at a further time. VITOUSEK: So, essentially, hi it's Mike Vitousek. So, essentially all we can do is either accept or not accept the language that's been proposed. SALAS-FERGUSON: Yes. DEFRANCO: We can recommend what you're saying[indecipherable] in it. VITOUSEK: But for today to adopt these we can either adopt what is written or we can make non-substantive changes? SALAS-FERGUSON: Correct, yes. So, if we make a change to the rules that's substantive that the public would have wanted the opportunity to comment on that then we got to give them 30 days' notice. VITOUSEK: Okay. In that case, I would make a secondary motion that the change to, was it, let me find the exact language, Rule 9-11(b)(4)be removed. DEFRANCO: Okay. So, we're going to note this and because there may be other changes that are going to come up now as we're having these discussions, is that right? Action 12 EXHIBIT B (DRAFT)
