Luke and Michael M Daly; Commissioner Tammy Melton was out of the office. Also present were Erik Kropp, Deputy County Administrator; David Givans, Internal Auditor; Scot Langton, Assessor; Nancy Blankenship, County Clerk; Anna Johnson, Communications; Tom Anderson and Kristen Maze, Community Development Department; Laurie Craghead, Legal Counsel; and one other citizen. No representatives of the media were present. Chair Luke opened the meeting at 10:00 a.m. 1. Before the Board was Citizen Input. The Board recognized Nancy Blankenship's five years of service to the County. Ms. Blankenship explained how the primary election will work this year. There may be an opportunity in the future for voters to vote across party lines, depending on how the legislature addresses the issue. The ballot style will change, which will end up costing counties more, primarily to allow for more money to educate the public. Citizen Tony Aceti came before the Board, and explained that he has a question regarding a land use modification application in response to a Code enforcement complaint. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Monday, February 11, 2008 Page 1 of 4 Pages Laurie Craghead said that this could be considered ex parte contact if it does come before the Board later, and would have to be disclosed as such. She said that an appeal should be filed and the Board would then review the appeal, the record and staff recommendations. This is the normal way to handle the appeal process. She said that Mr. Aceti cannot directly ask the Board to call up an appeal; an exception should not be made for one specific situation, as this could set precedence. Mr. Aceti said that he thought the Commissioners could talk with him and perhaps give an administrative ruling. He understands that the Board can call up an appeal. Ms. Craghead stated that it would be best for her or for Community Development staff to talk with Mr. Aceti separately to determine if this is a unique situation, and whether it is appropriate for him to talk with the Board ex parte. Commissioner Daly said that he spoke with Mr. Aceti last week, and feels that the Hearings Officer's decision was flawed and that some mistakes were made. He feels that the Commissioners should step in if a citizen is not getting correct answers. Commissioner Luke stated that there is a process in place for this. Ms. Craghead noted that Mr. Aceti would need to file an appeal and the Board would then decide whether the appeal should be heard by the Board. Mr. Aceti stated that he has paid numerous fees and in his opinion still can't get a decision that isn't flawed. He would rather not have to pay for calling it up in an appeal, and hopes that there can be an administrative ruling without going through a formal appeal process. Tom Anderson said there is already a decision by the Hearings Officer, which can be appealed, or the Board can call it up on its own. The Board can review the decision and choose whether to call it up on appeal. In this case, it had already been called up for reconsideration before the Hearings Officer, but the findings were not satisfactory to Mr. Aceti. Commissioner Luke advised that Mr. Aceti should work with Community Development, probably Catherine Morrow, about the avenues that are available to him, rather than come to the Board direct. County Counsel cannot advise him on the legal aspects since she represents the County. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Monday, February 11, 2008 Page 2 of 4 Pages 2. Before the Board was Consideration of Chair Signature of Document No. 2008 -055, an Amendment Intergovernmental Agreement for the Administration of the Drinking Water Program.

Before the Board was Consideration of Second Reading and Adoption, by Emergency, of Ordinance No. 2008 -008, Amending Code regarding Mini - Storage Facilities in Rural Commercial Areas.
