<br />“creating, expanding, and propagating PONC” and “made several personal suggestion <br />each for PONC purchases . . . .” <br /> <br />Mr. Balsis: As we continue discussing this particular issue there is a question on whether or <br />not the Board has jurisdiction over these individuals and over the issue raised. PONC is for <br />those that did not know, I was unaware until recently, stands for the County’s Public Access <br />Open Space and Natural Resource Committee. I’m going to ask our counsel of any thoughts she <br />has on us continuing or not continuing with this case, and I’d like to have a little discussion here <br />amongst the Board. <br /> <br />Ms. Schoen: Mr. Chair, I think the Petitioner is here, I’m not sure if the Respondents are here <br />at all. I did not speak with, I’m sorry, I did speak with Ms. Hecht and she said she was unable to <br />attend as well as Ms. Byrne-Baber, she was also not able to attend.

No middle name, no confirmation name. <br /> <br />Mr. Balsis: Please come forward. <br /> <br />Mr. McNett: Alright. <br /> <br />Mr. Balsis: You have a petition here. Please you have the floor for a few minutes to discuss <br />your petition. <br /> <br />Mr. McNett: Okay. It’ll only take a few minutes. There’s plenty of evidence already presented <br />to you and plenty more yet to be presented but not necessarily today. I just would like to go on <br />the record on two things. First of all at, anyone that might be concerned, you know the County <br />will still be able to acquire any and all the lands it so desires. And I’m sorry I didn’t, I just <br />picked this out of the files this morning Ordinance No. 05-85, Bill 78, Draft 3, Public Access <br />Open Space and Natural Resource Preservation Fund. That’s all this PONC Commission is, was <br />just an expansion by a factor of quite a few of this original law. And I’m told by a former <br /> <br />7 <br /> <br />
