REQUEST TO APPROVE ENVIRONMENTALLY SIGNIFICANT LANDS BOND <br />Commissioner Bird announced a potential conflict of interest <br />and filed the necessary form with the Clerks office. He explained <br />that if the Commission votes to put this item on the referendum <br />ballot, and if it is approved, and if the money is allocated and <br />the lands are purchased under this acquisition plan, his company <br />has the listing on one of these pieces of property that has been <br />considered by the committee. Commissioner Bird pointed out that it <br />is a remote possibility that a sale will ever occur to benefit him <br />but because there is that potential, he would prefer not to vote on <br />this matter and not discuss it. He suggested that it would be a <br />mistake not to include some wording in the referendum question to <br />the effect that some compatible recreational use could be made of <br />some of these lands. He thought that wording would give it more <br />broad-based appeal. <br />Whereupon, Commissioner Bird left the chamber. <br />MEMORANDUM OF VOTING CONFLICT FORM 8B IS ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF <br />CLERK TO THE BOARD <br />Environmental Planning Chief Roland DeBlois made the following <br />presentation: <br />TO: James Chandler <br />County Administrator <br />FROM: Robert M.
