Obviously, a great deal of attorney time is dedicated toward the various advisory and quasi-judicial boards that assist the Board of County Commissioners in carrying out County functions. However, on those occasions when it is specifically represented to me by the advisory board that such attendance is necessary for the board to effectively carry out its functions, I will assign an attorney on a regular basis. Ms. Ashton has informed me that the next EAB meeting scheduled for Wednesday, October 5, 1994 is on her calendar and that she will thereafter attend the monthly meetings in the commission chambers.

Since that date, WCN Communities has completed plans for our remaining acreage. The amended Pelican Marsh PUD is expected to be on your agenda in December. I would like to invite any interested EAB member to join me for a tour of Pelican Marsh on Tuesday,November 29th at 10:00 am, meeting at the Pelican Marsh Club (enter from U.S. 41 at 99th Avenue, the Club is the first left - approximately 1/3 mile).

I am quite familiar with the County's Comprehensive Plan, the Land Development Code, and various County ordinances related to the environment.
