If no action taken by PB within 21 days, it is automatically approved by law. Chair announced the surveyor was not present.
It was decided to review the materials and if there were unanswered questions, continue the matter.
The question arose: could PB continue it since the next meeting was after the 21 days allowed? Would the state determine that since no action was taken within 21 days, it was automatically approved? No one knew — Chair Kate Fletcher called Michael Canales who apparently did not know. They decided to review and continue the matter and see what happened.
The review resulted in two questions. They continued the matter until they received answers and risked what the state decided. Meeting adjourned.
