COMMISSIONER WRIGHT asked if the comprehensive plan could drive <br /> future public acquisitions, because this is something that the <br /> county has dealt with over the last ten years with significant <br /> public acquisitions that have taken private land holdings and <br /> put them into public ownership. He stated that this has been a <br /> challenge for this county as it has a significant impact on land <br /> use decisions and land use opportunities . It would be beneficial <br /> to develop a policy on how to handle future land acquisitions <br /> within the framework of our outreach to the public. <br /> COMMISSIONER OSAIDACZ suggested for the public presentations to <br /> have a map of Kittitas County with the areas that we don' t have <br /> control over colored in red and green for the areas that are <br /> being talked about for population growth. COMMISSIONER HINKLE <br /> asked to tie in future tax revenue streams from some of these <br /> lands to help address some of the constraints of the budget . <br /> CLAY WHITE stated we want to find out what makes Kittitas County <br /> a great place to live and then protect those things . He also <br /> mentioned we need to look at where we see opportunities to <br /> strengthen our community and figure out what the steps are to <br /> accomplish that . These will be the key questions that will help <br /> drive what we are going to focus our time on. Clay White stated <br /> that we will be starting the community meetings and the open <br /> houses in May and if there are any questions or suggestions to <br /> reach out . <br /> The Board of County Commissioners left the meeting room. <br /> VICE-CHAIR PEARSON called for a five-minute break. The meeting <br /> was paused at 7 : 35 PM and reconvened at 7 : 40 PM. <br /> B.
