Night meetings and developer burden on citizens
What the county recorded
This item is not from the published agenda
It is a stretch of the recording that this archive identified as a separate matter — a call to order, a recess, or something taken up that the agenda does not list. There is no official title, no staff recommendation and no disposition, because the county never recorded one. Everything below is inferred.

Thank you. Nancy Hayswood, [address removed]. Hello. Good afternoon. You're in for quite a ride today. Well maybe.
Okay.
So anybody who might plan to speak today, if you could please stand and raise your right hand.
These
are moderate function.
Do you swear affirm the testimony you're about to give is a truth so I'll be gone? Thank you.
So I'd like to thank the county for taking into consideration night meetings for the BPC and the planning. I'm sure we can find a way to not inconvenience anyone in doing this. With meetings, um Because maybe they'll run on too long. I'm sure we can find a way around that. I have heard so many times I can't attend, I work. I'm hoping this gives some people a voice. And
thank you again. Um staff, board, everybody working on that. Thank you.

That just encourages more development. I keep waiting for the county to change rules and
regulations to take the burden off the citizens in this instance.
If anyone wants to give relief to Pasco citizens, I think this would be a good subject to think about. I'd like to uh call your attention to the overhead. Um You having trouble getting it?

Is it really a good idea to inject anything into our aquifers? When man has a record of making mistakes with their drinking water. This might be another reason for not allowing high density septivin. Divisions. Thank
you for listening to my thoughts. I really do think highly Of everyone here. the commission and the staff. I know I badge you all terribly, but I love you anyways. We might continue the good work. and uh consideration of us. Thank you.

items. Okay. Um an effort to uh Okay. Finally. Expedite some of our concerns. Um let me just ask a general question. How many people are here for
