would manage the process of review during the moratorium period. He asked the Board to use an existing <br />committee to hold a series of workshops and said Committee would present a report to the Board on its <br />proposed regulations. <br />Director Boling then presented staff's recommendation that the Board review the proposed <br />mining regulation review process and activities, make changes as appropriate, and direct staff and the <br />Planning & Zoning Commission (P&Z) to initiate the process and conduct the activities outlined in the <br />memorandum. Staff did not see the need to hire a consultant to manage the review process. Directors <br />Boling and Keating thereafter responded to questions from the Board. The Board and staff discussed how <br />to best handle this process. <br />Joseph Paladin, President of Black Swan Consulting, agreed that a Consultant should not <br />be hired, and did not think the P&Z should be used to review this process. He thought the Board needed to <br />get a fresh set of eyes and/or create a new committee with staff and outside experts. <br />Vice Chairman Davis understood Mr. Paladin's thoughts, but thought it was important for <br />P&Z staff to understand why we have the LDRs that we have whenever they make their decisions. <br />Robert Adair, Chairman of the Agricultural Advisory Committee (AAC), asked if the <br />Board could possibly consider allowing the AAC a venue with P&Z to address the matter. <br />Mr. Paladin and the Board debated whether to have P&Z involved in the review process. <br />Ralph Evans, 1420 Shorelands Drive West, said neither he nor Mr. Paladin was speaking <br />on behalf of Wild Turkey Mines. He also thought it was not a good idea to have P&Z be a part of the review <br />process. <br />Gary Smith, 6625 West 82nd Avenue, supported P&Z being a part of the review process. <br />Chairman Bowden suggested they could consider enlarging the P&Z membership for this <br />process. Director Keating responded to questions from Vice Chairman Davis as to how staff would like to <br />proceed with this matter, based on discussions and suggestions heard today <br />15 <br />January 15, 2008 <br />
