WELCOME AND CALL TO ORDER
Chairman Mike Hawkins presiding called the meeting to order at 7:04 p.m.
Chairman Hawkins explained the purpose of the workshop was to discuss alternatives to a High Impact
Land Uses Ordinance, an issue that was raised when Commissioners approved a moratorium a few
months ago on a specific industry. He explained that Commissioners intend to hold a series of workshops
over the next year on various topics. The idea for these workshops came out of their recent retreat and
their desire to talk in depth about different topics. The workshops will be informal and Commissioners
will have the ability to speak and ask questions freely.
