Yes, we can have two separate motions, 100%. All right, and maybe we could do that. Maybe I could ask the motion maker to pull back part of the original motion, and just concentrate on the Redway section of this, and then we can get through that, and then maybe we can then talk about the next part. Sure.
I think that's, I mean, that would be in my expectation anyway, because even in a moratorium, it's not an absolutist perspective. It's like it would, it would have all the cut caveats that we are, that we're under right now. So and process, it just wouldn't have been fully flushed. And that's why you would, that's why you make it temporary and then go through some more, you know effort and process.
We're in a conversation with Supervisor Bone and Director Ford, so I wanna just let you, if you have more to say on that.
Okay. And is the seconder okay with that, knowing that there's probably a second motion coming?
Okay. And Supervisor Bone, you're, yeah, I'm just saying, just so we're clear, the motion maker has removed the countywide ordinance, and this is only for Redway right now. I got you. All right. You ready? All right. Let's do a roll call vote, please, for that.
Great, all right, I think we're ready to discuss the second half of this, which is a countywide ordinance for the protection of old growth. Maybe we could start with a motion, if you want.
And I appreciate that. I do feel like a lot of those details will come back. We're not being asked in this moment to approve a moratorium or a countywide ordinance. What we're being asked to is to give direction for staff to bring those things back with those details that we can have for discussion. My assumption is that for a countywide ordinance, it would include a similar committee process that would occur. And my assumption also is in a moratorium, it's simpler than that and it's temporary. It's just a holding place while all that stuff gets worked out. And of course if there are…
Thank you. Is there more discussion from the board?
Thanks. I appreciate that. But I will ask that. The point of a moratorium is to not be too delayed in its return because the longer that gap, the more problematic it can become. So I would ask for a fairly rapid engagement. With that, is there any more discussion from the board on the direction given to staff or could be given to staff depending on the vote? Seeing none, we'll have a roll call vote please.
Okay, so with that, we're ending the discussion on this. I'm just bringing back to CAO Hayes. We have two time sets. Is there anything we can put into the middle of that?
Oh, yeah, it's a public hearing. Let's do that. I was just so engaged in this conversation. So we're going to open up public hearing. What? And the item pulled. I thought it was going to be, it goes to the end of the day.
I don't care. We'll leave it. Is it your call?
We're going to do public hearing right now for sure. That's happening. This is what we're doing, yeah. Let's do it.
It is so open. This is one very open public hearing.
Okay, bringing it back to the board, are there any questions about this item? Seeing none, do we have any comments online?
All right, bringing it back to the room. Any comments on this item?
All right. Bringing it back to the board, or is there any comment from the comments by staff?
Okay, great. All right, well, I'm bringing it back to the board. Is there any more discussion from the board? If there is not, it would be great to get a motion for staff recommendation. All right, I'll make the motion for staff recommendation.
All right. There's a motion for staff recommendation. Is there any objection to unanimous consent? Seeing no objection to unanimous consent, the item passes and we are on to the next item. It seems to me that D31 is what's left and what's gonna happen with that? Are we ready and prepared to do that? Yes, Supervisor Bowe.
I will refer to council on this. And Public Works. I'll ask Public Works to just come to the table and then we'll discuss how to move forward and what to do. Yeah, you're good.
We have our next time set is at 12, so I think there's a good amount of time to get into this. And so, that being said, it is not a public hearing. And I will just bring it first to the public hearing. I think what I'll do is I'll ask staff to just introduce the item as it stands, and then I'll ask Supervisor Madrone, who asked for this to be removed for discussion, to then start the conversation. I think that's how we'll do it. So, Tom, if you want to take it away.
Okay. Do we have any maps or anything? I mean, they're in the, they're in our stuff right in front of us but do we have any that's like that you can put up on the screen or anything like that is that were you prepared to do anything like that today no we were not prepared to do that today all right supervisor Madrone is your time to jump in there thank you chair
All right, Supervisor. I'll just offer that as a beginning for discussion at the board for a minute. Supervisor Bushnell?
Yes, hold on one second. You are next. Okay, everybody. Supervisor Baum.
Okay. Is there any more comments from the board before we hear from some staff? All right.
