our position in the Comp Plan and felt that to ask her to fight for this is asking too much, which is why she is asking to be substituted for her on that committee. Chairman Eggert did not believe the TCRPC has any problem with changing people on committees. Commissioner Bowman continued to stress that what comes out of the workshop will go to the vote of the Council as a whole, and Commissioner Scurlock believed the question is can Commis- sioner Bowman support the position the Board is maintaining instead of going with one of these other options. Commissioner Bowman noted that what the Board is suggesting is saving only 15%, and as far as conserving natural resources, that is actually worthless. She further noted that AG is exempt and they are sitting there as if they are being oppressed. She felt strongly that you need to have money to purchase something that will work out. Discussion continued at length regarding the details of the County's policy, and the Chairman stressed that the Board did make a decision and take a certain stand, and she feels we are honor bound to fight for that. Commissioner Scurlock brought up the possibility of having a written statement that the majority of the Commission feels differently about this position than Commissioner Bowman. Different options were discussed, and Commissioner Scurlock again asked Commissioner Bowman if she could go down to the RPC and fight for the Board's decision. Commissioner Bowman continued to stress that it is only a workshop and that she would like to consider all the options. She noted the Chairman can attend that workshop, but she is a member of that committee and she will be a member of that commit- tee until she is asked by th'e committee to withdraw from it. Discussion continued along the same lines with Board members stressing the vital importance of supporting the County's policy at every level. 57 -
