The same Val Del Road subdivision on today’s agenda for the third time was tabled the second time it came up, a month ago. Here it is in the LAKE videos in the Work Session of November 12, 2018, when the applicant hadn’t even responded to the Commissioners’ previous request to consider 1.5 acre lots.
By far the longest thing that day, at half an hour, was 7. Reports – Special Presentation ABM Industries Inc..
Below are links to each LAKE video of the 12 November 2018 Work Session, with a few comments. See also the agenda and the LAKE blog of the county’s own videos of its 9 October 2018 Regular Session.

Video. County staff want ABM to help reduce energy costs. How about add some solar panels to the roof of the county palace and over its parking lot, while you’re at it?
As ABM says:
With the cost of solar installations rapidly declining, and the number of government and utility incentives increasing, solar has undergone a radical evolution from a feel good environmental story to a source for businesses to gain a financial advantage over their competitors.
