“HOW DO WE GET THIS LADY TO MOVE…”

Harbour then stated: “Here’s my issue with Jefferson County at this point. They (JC) have zoning ordinances that define in Section 318, 317 & 410 of their zoning ordinances. So, if they are going to make the decision that they’re not going to enforce their own ordinances, then they need to change their zoning ordinances. Otherwise, I think we have every right and expectation to be able to enforce the rules that are currently in place.”

ANNOUNCEMENTS/WRAP-UP by Harbour before adjourning the meeting to Executive Session at 7:30 PM.

According to Harbour, the purpose for this Executive Session focuses on discussing two legal issues that he would like to “EDUCATE “ the Board on.
