Okay, there's a motion and a second, but I do want to ask, we have someone from Public Works, and I want to, do you mind coming up and addressing, there was a question in relation to the ramps, D35, and I didn't get into the details of that to that level, necessarily, but I do know that, well, I just want to ask the question, like, is this a thing that's amendable, or is this not amendable, or can you just give me a, is this, I'm trying to get to the part where if we pull this and ask for an amendment or a change, what does that actually mean? That's what I'm getting at.
Okay, I'm just going to ask this question. So you say oftentimes. Does that also include this time?
thank you so much thanks for covering that appreciate it I'm going to bring it back to the board I think my questions have been answered on that and thank you for doing that just for folks I think just for clarification what the commenters saying is that oftentimes when we have ramps at the corners the old way of designing was that that ramp would go diagonally into the into the crosswalk and that can be confusing for people who are sight impaired or other things and so or just less accessible so Actually having two ramps going in one in each direction is the preferable design. So what I'm…
We're answering people at the dais. Anyway, I just. Sometimes we get clarification from staff so that we can keep things on consent or make a decision to choose to remove it. So with that, is there any objection to NAM's consent for consent items except for 31? Seeing none, the consent calendar has been approved, unanimous consent. So the next thing on here is, I walked through a cobweb this morning, it's the time of year. All right. Yeah, no, it's just like those pumpkin spiders. All right, so. Not agenda items, we got it. All right, you guys ready? We're doing non-agenda items now, bringing…
You're talking about my hair again? Spiders in my hair? All right, so, there's nowhere to hide, that's for sure. Okay.
This is not where we... We don't have discussions here. You just talk to us.
All right, thanks for your comments. Next.
Thanks, and this may seem like a conspiracy, but our closed captioning has stopped working, so we need to stop for a minute while that gets fixed, and then as soon as that's fixed, we're gonna come back and start this all over again.
Sorry, we're gonna start this back from where we left off, from where we left off. I won't make you do this all over again. I'm being told this could take up to an hour if we don't get it resolved. But this is a requirement. This is an ADA requirement that we provide this closed captioning. So it's either going to be really quick or it's going to be a long time. It's going to be one of those two things. Well.
Hold on one second. I said I'm going to start in what I say. Hold on one second. All right, so the first thing I'm going to do is open a public hearing. Oh, that's right. That's right. Okay. Finishing non-agenda items.
Okay, last chance for anyone who wants to talk about things not on the agenda. All right, we're gonna close that part of the meeting and get into the public hearing. John. I'm gonna just walk through a few things. We're starting a little bit late. It's a pretty substantive item, so I'm gonna ask that folks be aware of that. I'm gonna run it a little differently. I'm gonna ask staff to do their thing and give an explanation. I'm gonna bring it back to the board for questions, but also I wanna make sure, I'm gonna ask the board to give their lean on this a little bit before we go to public…
We are doing the time set matter for the Q zone and Redway. Okay. Yep, because it's time set and we're past the time set, so I apologize. Yep, got it. Is that all helpful to everybody? You're right, there's no public hearing. I apologize for jumping into that. So, hope that helps everybody and hopefully we can get through this and just trying to be strategic and do the best we can to be as useful as possible.
Great. Excellent. Thanks for that. All right. I'm going to bring it back to the board. We'll just start with questions, but then also we'll have a little bit of discussion as well, starting with Supervisor Bushnell.
Sure. Supervisor Arroyo, thoughts on this?
Okay. Supervisor Bone, any comments before we go to public comment? All right. Great. Well, I'll just say it out loud. I think the recommendations sound really reasonable to me. And so just putting it out there. The reason it's here is because this board asked for these things to come back for discussion. I think there's a push. I haven't heard anything negative from board members yet on these items. So with that, I'm going to bring it to public comment. And again, there's kind of two layers to this. One is what's happening in Redway, and the other is countywide. And I will say I've had…
All right, we're gonna take this to public comment online. Anyone wanna speak to this?
I find that hard to believe. I'm waiting 30 more seconds here just to make sure, absolutely sure.
Okay. Raise your hand is your time if you want to talk. All right. I don't have anybody here. Okay, so we're bringing it into the room. Let's do it.
All right, who's next? And if you're here to speak in the room, it'd be great if you could line up so that we can... Keep it moving. All right.
All right. Anybody else want to speak to this item? Again, it's great if you can stand in line.
All right, we're gonna bring it back to the board. I'm first gonna ask John, excuse me, Director Ford, do you have any thoughts on any of the requests or you wanna maybe reiterate back some of the ideas that came from the public comment that you heard today?
I'll bring it back to the board. So really what's being asked of us is a recommendation or a direction on moving forward with modifications and modernization of the Q zone for Redway as one item and the other is for the county. I did hear a request and I want to think about that a little bit, which was a moratorium while the county works on, if there's a decision by this board to do a countywide ordinance, that a moratorium be brought back, a temporary moratorium, so that what you don't want to see is folks trying to jump ahead of an ordinance. And so we did this for short-term rentals. We…
Sure, and I'd like to get the rest of the board in this conversation.
I'll clarify, sure. From my perspective, Redway's covered. It already has a Q zone. It already has the recommendations to move forward. So this is for the rest of the county. My request would be that if we move forward with the moratorium, and again, usually the moratoriums are like You're moving in the right direction. It's not everything. It's temporary. So I want to really clarify that we should, if we ask for a moratorium that has a time limit to it, that's pretty important. Probably like a year or something to that effect. And in that way, protects a majority of what you're trying to…
Yeah, and I think it's a good time to ask that question. I think I know what you're going to ask.
