Commissioner Flescher read the provisions in the fourth "WHEREAS" Clause of <br />the Resolution and remarked that they were "very costly words." He supported the "green" <br />initiative, but thought it would be a costly process to undertake. He believed college students <br />working on this process could assist us, and then meld in with the Environmental Protection <br />Agency (EPA) standards, which should cost the County nothing. <br />Chairman Wheeler believed the County should set the standards and take the lead. <br />The Board continued to discuss and debate the structure of the Resolution, associated costs, long <br />term benefits, benefits of the certification, and whether to move ahead with the initiative. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner O'Bryan, <br />Seconded by Chairman Wheeler, to adopt the "green" <br />Resolution as presented. <br />Vice Chair Bowden voiced her support, but suggested that the Board not direct the <br />County Administrator to do a feasibility study, but to go ahead and do this voluntarily. She <br />thought they needed to mandate what the Resolution does, and asked that item No. 6 on page 3 of <br />the Resolution, be deleted. <br />Commissioner O'Bryan AMENDED his Motion for <br />adoption of the Resolution with the deletion of Item No. 6 <br />at page 3 of the Resolution. <br />Vice Chair Bowden asked for a commitment that the "Green Team" do all in its <br />power to come up with the $4,500.00 application fee rather than taking it out of the general <br />operating funds. Based on that, she would support the initiative. <br />October 2, 2007 27 <br />
