Mr. Gill asked if all present participants were able to complete a cursory review of the first two sections of the Matrix. All responded in the affirmative.
Mr. Gill informed the committee that the scores would not be recorded or formally adopted at this meeting at this meeting, but at the Feb 17 meeting.
Mr. Gill went through each sub-heading of the Matrix (Sect 1.1 – 2.4) to ensure the participants were comfortable with the rating process for each and if any clarifications/corrections were necessary to a sub-heading.
Items 1.1- 1.3, no issue
Item 1.4, Mrs. Groce raised a concern language within 1.4 was confusing and potentially contradictory between ecological impacts of the existing site and surrounding area TO the proposed facility vs. ecological impacts to the site and surrounding area FROM the proposed facility. The Group was in favor of creating a new sub-heading 1.5 to compliment 1.4, so impacts TO the facility and FROM the facility could be ranked independently.
Items 2.1-2.3, no issue
Item 2.4, as it lacked deeper description, Mr. Gill instructed it was to be taken to mean the level to which a problematic Title Search result may inhibit timely acquisition/development of a project, and how would that ultimate acquisition time balance against the other aspects of a site’s characteristics.
The group was comfortable re-evaluating items 1.4, 2.4, and the new 1.5 along with the sections 3.1 through 4.6 for the next meeting.
No further motion or action taken.
H. Next Meeting, no conflicts discussed
I. Adjournment: motion Groce, 2nd Smith, voice vote all aye, no nay. Adjourned at 9:46 AM
