interpretation. <br />County Attorney Collins stated he was glad to hear the Representative say more than <br />once that this bill affects existing agriculture. There were concerns with earlier versions <br />because it appeared, on first reading, that it would prohibit the County from regulating <br />within the urban service area if new agricultural uses were introduced. There were concerns <br />that may conflict with some existing residential developments. He was glad to learn the bill <br />has been refined to existing agricultural uses rather than the introduction of new agricultural <br />uses which causes the interface conflicts between residential and agriculture. <br />Representative Poppell stated that was corrected months ago. <br />Vice Chairman Ginn stressed the importance of getting information from our <br />legislators early. She also expressed concern about FACo's support on Representative <br />Mavfield's Telecommunications Bill because the Board was certainly not in favor of that <br />legislation. She believed Commissioners need to speak directly with our legislators. <br />Commissioner Neuberger wished that Representative Poppell had come to the Board <br />earlier. He was also surprised to learn that FACo did not respond to Representative <br />Poppell"s invitation. He had put faith in FACo but has determined now that he will speak <br />with them. <br />Representative Poppell promised that in the future he would communicate more <br />promptly with the Commissioners. <br />THE CHAIRMAN CALLED THE QUESTION and the motion <br />carried unanimously. <br />(Clerks Note: A copy of the letter sent to Governor Jeb Bush is on file in the <br />office of the Clerk to the Board with the backup for the meeting.) <br />June 10, 2003 <br />20 <br />
