Board of County Commissioners	7/1/2014	7M	Adopted				P
REPORT:	First Assistant County Attorney Abigail Price-Williams read into the record the title of the foregoing proposed ordinance. Chairwoman Sosa noted for clarification that the foregoing proposed ordinance was related to property located in District 12 and pertained to boundaries that would classify the businesses in one area for administrative changes, rather than being an annexation item. It was moved by Commissioner Heyman that the foregoing proposed ordinance be adopted. This motion was seconded by Commissioner Bell and opened for discussion. Responding to Commissioner Jordan’s inquiry regarding Administration reporting the status of a previous directive requesting the Mayor’s Office to identify a consultant to analyze the County for annexations and incorporations, Chairwoman Sosa requested that Administration meet with Commissioner Jordan on this issue and present a report at the July 15, 2014 Board of County Commissioners meeting. Chairwoman Sosa concurred that the County was becoming selective in their consideration of this issue and that this practice was unfair. Additionally, Commissioner Jordan noted this item was previously approved on December 3, 2013. She proceeded to ask that the status of the Request for Proposal (RFP) be included in the report. Hearing no further questions or comments, the Board proceeded to vote on the foregoing proposed ordinance as presented.

Land Use & Development Committee	6/12/2014	1G2	Forwarded to BCC with a favorable recommendation				P
REPORT:	Assistant County Attorney Abbie Schwaderer-Raurell read the foregoing proposed ordinance into the record. Chairman Diaz opened the public hearing and called for persons wishing to appear before the Committee in connection with this proposed ordinance. Chairman Diaz closed the public hearing after no one appeared wishing to speak. Chairman Diaz noted the foregoing proposed ordinance pertained to a boundary change to the middle of the street, and was not an annexation of new areas. Hearing no further comments or questions, the Committee members proceeded to vote on the foregoing ordinance, as presented.
