The board scheduled a public hearing for Aug. 20 on an amendment to the jurisdiction's economic development plan after the planning commission and county commissioners approved the change. Speaker 1, Board member, said the board will open the meeting with the hearing and then proceed with its regular agenda. "I think we'll just have a public hearing very first thing, and then we do our regular meeting," Speaker 1 said.

The amendment adjusts the original plan's Exhibit A to provide assistance to the DDC in assessing workforce housing needs. "It's just what the actual amendment is ... to assist the DDC in determining housing workforce housing needs for the future," Speaker 1 said when describing the change.

The planning commission approved the amendment earlier, and the county commissioners approved it on Monday, Speaker 1 said. Speaker 2 referenced the commissioners' resolution number as "20 25 10." The board agreed to hold the public hearing at the start of its Aug. 20 meeting; Speaker 1 said the board will read the amendment at the hearing and invite questions.

Discussion: Board members confirmed the date and that the hearing would be the first item of the August meeting. No formal motion or vote to schedule the hearing was recorded in the transcript; the date was set by agreement during the meeting.

Why it matters: The amendment is framed as a planning step to guide the DDC's assessment of workforce housing needs. The transcript does not specify the scope of DDC's authority, funding tied to the amendment, or expected changes to zoning or programs; those details were not provided during the meeting.

What remains unclear: The transcript records the commissioners' resolution number as "20 25 10" but does not provide a full citation or text of that resolution, nor does it specify whether further approvals are required beyond the scheduled public hearing.
