BOOK GG�`� <br />Commissioner Ginn referred to the second to last paragraph on page 48 of the backup <br />and asked what benefit would be derived by the County being the responsible party if the <br />State is willing to do it. <br />Chief Environmental Planner Roland M. DeBlois explained that the County has <br />already negotiated three of these projects; the benefits are expedition of the process, the <br />County has a better handle on it, and staff views it as a more efficient approach. The State <br />has many statewide projects and there would be time delays which mightupset opportunities <br />where sellers want more expeditious handling, even in the terms of County negotiations. <br />There would definitely be more local control. <br />Commissioner Gann understood. She then referred to pages 65 and 66 in the backup, <br />particularly paragraphs 5, 6, 11, 12, and 13. She was concerned about the on-going <br />associated costs for management of these acquired properties. <br />Chairman Macht reminded her that a new employee will be taking care of those <br />responsibilities and that grant resources will also be available to us to aid in the management <br />of costs. <br />Commissioner Stanbridge felt that "management" was sometimes a misnomer and that <br />the cost involved may not be as extraordinary as it sounds. Usually management involves <br />nothing more than observation of natural systems. <br />Commissioner Adams pointed out that all of these will have to be addressed in more <br />detail in the management plan. <br />Chairman. Macht also pointed out that all expenses will come before the Board, which <br />has the ultimate control. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Ginn, SECONDED BY <br />Commissioner Stanbridge, the Board unanimously approved the <br />Conceptual Approval Agreements for the LAAC sites described, <br />December 21, 1999 <br />22 <br />1* 0 <br />
