]. Mr. Slutzky first brought this proposal to the attention of the Board in
early October
.
At the end of the discussion today, the proposal failed to receive the board’s support, and while a vote was not taken, Mr. Slutzky commented afterwards that he did not see a commitment by the Supervisors to pursue a TDR proposal at this time. The Board did not rule it out entirely and did discuss the possibility of TDRs coming up again at future work sessions related to rural area protection strategies.
