She provided an overview of the committee's roles and responsibilities in accordance with Chapter 24 subdivision requirements and believes the process can be streamlined so the Committee is not reviewing the same utility easements that staff is already doing. Ms. Relford indicated staff will continue to refer applications to the utility companies for their review and comments, and staff requires utility representatives to sign subdivision plats prior to recording. She informed the Board the last Utilities Coordinating Advisory Committee meeting was held on December 14, 2023, and the number of subdivision applications are minimal, and in comparison with other counties, no agency has a Utility Board as part of their land division process. In response to Commissioner James, Ms. Relford clarified the Utilities Coordinating Advisory Committee is contacted for plat signature with the administrative review process. Commissioner Saine stated she verified with several agencies and they are in support of this change as well. No public testimony was offered concerning this matter. Commissioner James moved to approve Code Ordinance #2024-17 on First Reading. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Buck, and it carried unanimously. PUBLIC COMMENT: No public comment was offered.
