Executive Director McDuf f ie presented the staff report of November 17, 1987 stating that the agency should open the hearing on the proposed condem- nation of the subject property, ask for the oral presentation of the staff report and take testimony from Mr. Shahin, any other persons claiming an interest in the property, or their representatives on the three following issues: 1) whether the public interest and necessity required the proposed project; 2) whether the proposed project is planned or located in the manner that would be most compatible with the greatest public good and least public injury; and 3) whether the property which is the subject of this proceeding is necessary for the proposed project. Agency Attorney Dorsey announced that adoption of the Resolution of Necessity required a four-fifths vote. He further stated that Member Ryan (who owns property close to the project area and could potentially benefit from this project) and Member Hinchliffe (who has purchased the previously leased property in the project area at 116 Spindrift) have been abstaining on voting on these matters which results in only three members not having a conflict of interest. Agency Attorney Dorsey went on to announce that under the "rule - 2 - 700CP/RDMIN1.1-1.4 November 17 , 1987 of Necessity" contained in the Government Code Section 87101 , either agency member Hinchliffe or Ryan is authorized to participate. In order to resolve this issue he called the Fair Political Practices Commission to get an opinion. Their recommendation was that Members Ryan and Hinchliffe draw straws to determine who would vote. Chairman Hughes then indicated that he had two straws and that whoever drew the long straw would vote. Member Hinchliffe drew the long straw. Agency Attorney Barrow announced that only those people who have interest in property in the area could testify with regard to this matter. Responding to the Chairman' s call for public testimony was Daphne Clarke, 10 Pepper Tree, who said that Mr. Shahin was out of the State and wouldn' t be back until the weekend. She said he did not know that this meeting was taking place. In response to the Board's inquiry about whether they could proceed with action on this matter, Attorney Barrow reported that Arnold Graham was representing Mr. Shahin but that it did not appear that he was at the meeting, although he had been apprised of it. He went on to say that the Agency could proceed with and act on this matter. Responding to another Board inquiry, Mr. Barrow stated that this proceeding was the quickest method for resolving the issue of ownership and would establish the legal ownership of the road.
