VOL 19 fAGf 896 Commissioners' Meeting Minutes: Week of August 2, 1993 Page: 4 Chairman Wojt asked the Prosecuting Attorney if he has to agree to the Board seeking independent legal review of this draft ordinance? Mark Huth reported that the Superior Court judge has to approve of any independent legal review. He added that if the second legal opinion on the document differs from his, then he could not defend it if it is ever challenged.

The discussion continued regarding the Prosecuting Attorney's review of the draft or- dinance, and when the independent legal review should be done. Mark Huth reported that he feels the independent legal review should be done after the public hearing, so that any changes proposed from the public testimony can be made and reviewed. He feels for the County to get the most for their money, the independent legal review should be done of the document being proposed for final adoption. Craig Ward suggested that another meeting be scheduled with the Board to review their suggested changes in the draft Critical Areas ordinance.
