What is your definition of right? Some, including many of the sitting commissioners already feel that they are doing what is right. Since we live within a Republic form of government, and seeing the way that the recent election came about, I think you good make a very strong argument that the BCC is heading in the right direction.
wrobert, I believe what paradiseat30a meant by "the BCC doing what is right," is that they hold developers accountable to do the things required by Code. In this case, the developer didn't do what was required, and have still failed. Last night, the spokesman for the developer mentioned that the lender is involved and that was an issue. (I took that to mean that the developer may not have the cash to do what was required four years ago, and it is like pulling teeth to get the lender to fork over the cash to do the work.)
Back when Commissioner Commander made the motion which was approved roughly two months ago, the motion included that if the developer had not performed "substantial" work to complete the required infrastructure in 45 days, the County might proceed with a lawsuit against the developer. This was their polite and final warning for the developer to perform. The 45 day deadline came and went without substantial work being completed. Two days ago, one day prior to the BCC meeting, they suddenly had paperwork signed off, noting that they were working on it. No evidence of substantial work completed.
As I understand it, last night, the County Commissioners were in agreement to join the suit, and County Interim Attorney, Mike Burke, stated that he couldn't, in good council, agree for the County to join a suit which he had not reviewed, so he will review the suit, and advise the BCC accordingly at the next meeting in two weeks.
A long battle was won last night. The County agreed to adhere to State Law (surprise, surprise, surprise) and send the $300,000+ bill, and all future bills, to the developer.
