Agenda:
1. Hearings Officer Selection Procedure:
Discussion held on the vacancy by the end of June for the hearings officer
position. A letter from a local attorney presenting a fee and the question is
should the County hire a temporary hearings officer. Concern was voiced on
causing a delay in land use issues. During this discussion the current
hearings officer agreed to continue through the end of July only. Interview
panel for a new hearings officer should include the three county
commissioners, three planning commissioners and the planning director.
2. Mobile Home Inspection/Permits:
Planning department addressed several issues to consider investigating
policy for waiving or reducing fees for mobile homes under certain special
conditions. There is no policy at this time for fees for appealing site plans.
Several waiving criteria includes emergency medical and individuals
seeking shelter. The planning director recommends requests for fee
reduction or waiving be investigated by the planning director and reviewed
on a case by case basis. The Commissioners requested criteria by the
Planning Department to bring back for consideration.
3. Planning Department Staffing:
The Planning department has a staff person starting on July 1St that will be
compensated by LCDC. One major issue in the department is a lack of
available data and this position will assist with that problem. The
department has a lack of space and would like to request a space for three
individuals at the Court House. Discussion held on the limited amount of
staff in the department for the work load.
4. Hearings Officer:
Another item of concern is to find a hearings officer to fill a vacancy.
Discussion held on the responsibilities of the hearings officer. The
Commissioners feel this position requires an attorney. Discussion held on
