Clerk's Note: This item was heard after Item JJ.A.3. and is placed here for <br />continuity. <br />Mr. Paladin once again sought approval from the Board for his Proposed County <br />Policy on Right -of -Way Acquisition which he submitted on December 5, 2006. He wanted to <br />achieve timely acquisitions of necessary right-of-way for road expansion and improvement. <br />Commissioners Davis and Bowden wanted to hear input from staff before voting on <br />the policy. <br />Discussion ensued as Jim Davis, Public Works Director, informed the Board that <br />many of the suggestions were currently being implemented, and he informed the Board of some <br />possible problems. <br />Mr. Paladin further added that the Policy would put everything in "black and <br />white", which would help to alleviate the "gray area". He specified that occasionally it might not <br />work but overall it would lay down a guideline. He thought the principles of resolutions might be <br />better than an ordinance. <br />County Attorney Collins remarked on a couple bulleted items, then said as long as it <br />was a "policy", and there would be leeway to depart from it when circumstances dictated, then he <br />did not see a problem. <br />The Commissioners voiced various concerns to Director Davis regarding <br />completion timeframes and flexibility. <br />January 23, 2007 23 <br />
