During the public hearing on the county's comprehensive plan update, the council decided to limit public comments to two minutes per person to accommodate over 120 registered speakers. Citizens then used the public comment period to voice various concerns, including the need for stronger climate change policies and specific agricultural permitting issues for horse facilities. Additionally, several speakers warned the council about the severe legal and financial risks associated with unlawfully expanding the urban growth boundaries.

What was said
1:37:28 If there is no one here for Woodland, yeah, that's fine. At least they were called on. Is there anyone from Woodland? We have a little bit of Woodland. And are they included in any of the planning recommendations? Because actually, no, but they have been participating with us, but they are not expanding into Clark County, so there was no change to that whole Shulick area. Great. Thank you. Well, thanks to Woodland for participating with us. Okay. All right. So, just to give everybody an update, we're going to move into general. public comment right now we have 80 people who have signed up in the room although we may have
1:38:21 lost a few and there are approximately 45 people online so i would just ask the council if there are any parameters that you'd like to place on public comment in terms of limiting time less than three minutes or just going to a particular hour this evening uh are there any suggestions two minutes someone should make a suggestion two minutes yeah i think we i could support uh limiting public comment to two minutes yeah and i would prefer that rather than just cutting off the time of day
1:39:12 when some people just can't present at all uh counselor young i don't like shortening people's time but i also think that we might lose a lot of folks if we go too late and not hear from them at all so i think two minutes is a reasonable compromise okay it looks like that's the majority of the council to go to two minutes and uh we have 20 minutes before it'll be time for our court reporter to take a break so let's just jump in and uh and i would just uh if people are if someone has already said something that you agree with you can just agree with that that would help us out quite a bit thank you
