Commissioner Wheeler questioned what would happen if the Motion passed and there was no more counting or if it failed and they moved forward with it. Administrator Baird responded that if they made the decision to move forward then staff would have to look at trying to make it work. He also thought the only solution could be that they make anyone who affects the trips on Route 60 pay their proportionate share of the interest cost. Commissioner Davis felt they needed to add “and US.1” to recommendation. Although the Board discussed and felt it was not the same issue, Commissioner Davis still sees it as one and the same, hoping that they would be addressed and go forward together. Chairman Neuberger thought they should have a separate workshop to discuss US.1 and they should only discuss SR 60. Commissioner Davis wanted to see some clear direction in four (4) months and would support Commissioner Wheeler’s Motion even if he did not amend it to four (4) months. Commissioner Lowther read a section of the backup regarding “the benefits of accelerating construction …”, stating that he did not think they would want to lower the level of service. Commissioners Bowden and Lowther agreed that they need to stop the ‘flip-flopping” as they have talked this over already. Mr. Mechling againentreated the Board not to lose the vision of the future but have a concept of where this County is going economically. Chairman Neuberger agreed that they needed to keep this going stating that they could have a workshop to talk about this. The Board and staff indulged in lengthy and involved discussions on whether there was a time-frame to have this done, the reasons Administrator Baird put this on the Agenda, and whether they could leave the trips off if they extended this for sixty (60) days.
