Lackey said that, if the
changes the Daniels made
were negative in nature,
he could see the need to
remand the request back
to the Planning Commis-
sion, but the changes don’t
result in negative impacts.
Bennett and Harvey agreed
that the request includes
signifi cant changes,
and that the request, as
presented at the session,
wasn’t the original request
the Planning Commis-
sion approved. Harvey
apologized to attendees,
but he explained that the
matter would necessarily
have to be remanded back
to the Planning Commis-
sion. Bennett moved that
the request be remanded,
in order to address the
modifi cations, and to give
the Board a recommenda-
tion, based on the modifi -
cations. Kerns seconded
the motion, and the motion
carried. At this point,
the majority of attendees
exited the Commission
Chambers (no further testi-
mony was taken).
Order No. 2016-157,
Appointing Members To
The Baker County Board
Of Property Tax Appeals,
was approved, with the
addition of Bruce Nichols,
as County Governing Pool
Alternate, with a motion
from Bennett, and a second
from Kerns. The following
were appointed, their terms
set to expire on September
30, 2017: Bennett, repre-
senting County Governing
Pool; Laurene Chapman,
representing Non-offi ce
Holding Pool; Sharon Ban-
nister, representing Non-
offi ce Holding Pool; and
Jerry Kincaid, representing
Non-offi ce Holding Pool—
Alternate.
Bennett provided a
Tri-County Weed Man-
agement Area (TCWMA)
update, which included
the mention of the new
TCWMA Director, Saman-
tha Bernard. In ongo-
ing discussions with the
TCWMA, regarding issues
with TCWMA structure
and funding, Bennett said
that Baker County has
had, historically, a larger
need for the services of the
program, but the future of
the TCWMA is uncertain.
He said that Baker County
is prepared to withdraw
from the program, if is-
sues are not resolved, but
the funding allocated to
the County would still be
available, if this were to
happen, though he desires
for resolutions to the is-
sues, rather than for the
County to separate from
the TCWMA.
A Commission work
session, on Wednesday,
October 12, 2016, 9 a.m.,
is scheduled to include a
discussion with represen-
tatives of Blue Mountain
Community College, and
the 5J School District,
regarding claims about is-
sues with BMCC services,
made by former BMCC
Associate Vice President
Peggy Hudson, during the
last regular session, on
Wednesday, September 21.
