cost savings to the County to purchase impact fee credits at a discount rate.
Commissioner Judah moved approval, seconded for discussion by Commissioner Manning. County Lands Division
Director Karen Maguire confirmed that the competitive process was not being waived, since eleven (11) potential
developers would be solicited in order to obtain the best possible discount. After Ms. Maguire advised the Board that
the same opportunity would come before them shortly pertaining to the Downtown Library, the motion was called and

Natural Resource Director Roland Ottolini work with SCCF’s Natural Resource Policy Director Rae Ann Wessel to
facilitate getting the information to the Colonel. After Board discussion, it was determined that the first step would be
the involvement of other interested and possibly involved parties, who might be potential sources of information and
limit expenses. Direction was given for Mr. Ottolini to get involved in the matter, investigate further to define level of
effort and cost, and bring a recommendation back to the Board (on a Blue Sheet) in two weeks.
ON-LINE TRAVEL TAX – Commissioner Judah reminded all of the proposed bill requiring on-line
travel companies to collect tourist taxes for remittance to the appropriate Counties, stating that he hoped it was an

pre-emption language.
