185 like to follow what's going on. He also explained that if a motion is being made, that 186 before votes are being taken to consider it, a copy of the motion should be made 187 available to the committee so there isn't so much dictation. He noted the rules for 188 the design guidelines on the wall stating to "follow the no surprise rule," but there is 189 quite a bit of surprise happening here. He also went on to discuss the lack of 190 community outreach for the General Plan review. 191 192 He suggested that resolutions be proposed, explaining context, solutions, etc. This 193 would really help people to understand, and not just the people on the committee, 194 but going forward historically to understand why this decision was being made. This 195 would wind up being a report and a motion all in one. 196 197 He went on to discuss the basic problem in regard to burial sites and archaeological 198 easements being put in place. Lastly, he explained that the Action Committee has 199 inherited problems, and that he is going to go through his emails and see if he can 200 find what he saw as a big problem in years passed, and provide some context. 201 202 Curtis Tyler responded by explaining that he is a major supporter of public input 203 and involvement and he has stated this on numerous occasions. He also stated that 204 under the Sunshine Law, they are required to post the minutes and agendas, and 205 have those available when they come to the meetings. There were a few instances a 206 year or so ago where these documents were not available, and he voiced his 207 concerns. Curtis went on to apologize for not having his motions written out in full 208 today, and that this is entirely his fault. With respect to the burial issues, he 209 explained that this is not an issue before this body and that it is an issue before 210 County Planning and the Public Works Department. He thanked Chuck for bringing 211 this up. 212 213 He went on to explain that when it comes to the General Plan and the lack of 214 involvement with the public, he made it very clear that he was disappointed that the 215 public was not going to be involved in Phase 1. He clarified that the public will be 216 involved in Phase 3, but he will continue to voice his disapproval of that. 217 218 Discussion continued throughout the Action Committee and Chuck Flaherty and 219 bringing the CDP into the county code and special interests. 220 221 Ken Melrose then spoke in regard to the project district that was passed and 222 explained that he hopes the director picks it up. He brought up the role of the CDP 223 and encouraged the Action Committee to not be the ones who take on all the work, 224 but become participants. He also brought up a motion that was considered in 225 October of 2013 that is on the record. This motion asked the Planning Department 226 to affirm their commitment to the vision, guiding principles and strategies, and for 227 the Planning Department to provide the Action Committee with a concise 228 articulation of the timeline and a definition of the areas they thought were 229 problems. Ken stated that he thinks the Action Committee should ask again and that 230 there be a one page memo with bullet points by section.
