5. Minutes of August 19, 1997
BoardmemberMcGuire indicated she had a problem with "Staff Concerns" on page 3. She felt
the Board gave the Planning Commission permission to start their review before the Board, but
they weren't to be allowed to take final action. She asked to translate this portion verbatim.
She indicated because of pending litigation this is very important and the Board want's to make
sure doesn't set a precedent which can come back on the Board in the future. Mr. Curtis
indicated it wouldn't cause a legal problem because there's no requirement that the Board
consider this before the Planning Commission. Mr. Curtis indicated he could provide her with
a copy of that portion of the Minutes for her to review. Mr. Curtis indicated stafPs goal is for
the Board to consider this type of matter before the Planning Commission and certainly to be
completed before the Commission.
Motion by Christ; second by McGuire to table the Minutes of August 19, 1997 to the
next meeting to aUow Boardmember McGuire to review the Staff concerns portion

7. Minutes of September 16,1997
Boardmember McGuire had a concern with page 5 of the Minutes starting with "read or so
you don't ... " on the very bottom of the page in the last paragraph it states, "Member McGuire
said the Boardmembers need to have all the documents to take home to review. She said she
has always been in favor of voting for adequacy but there are only three members present
tonight." That's not what she remembers saying. She went into the meeting thinking she was
going to vote for inadequacy. She indicated this whole portion of the transcript is totally off
and asked to review the tape to provide a verbatim transcript.
