PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS DATE? No BACKGROUND AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS: Order 2009-112 authorized the Community Development Department ("CDD") Director and the Planning Director to sign various planning documents on each other's behalf in the absence of the other and authorized the County Administrator to sign on behalf of the CDD Director in the absence of the CDD Director. However Order 2009-112 did not clarify that the Board of County Commissioners ("Board") intended that signature authority for the some of the listed documents and other planning documents be delegated to the CDD director. The proposed Order would authorize the CDD Director to sign the following planning documents: conservation easements, condition of approval agreements, farm and forest management waivers, and improvement agreements involving financial security in an amount less than $1,000,000. This would improve efficiency and save time by eliminating the need to bring routine documents that are part of the land use approval proces to the Board. FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: None.
