The Board has the final say on EAGLE-related elements, but does not recommend approval or denial of specific projects. Because of this, the board has been instructed to work with applicants to find a path to approval, either by seeking flexibility in the EAGLE indicators, by requiring additional effort on the part of the applicant, or both. The EAGLE Board approaches their review from a standpoint of collaboration and discussion with the applicant, rather than reviews behind closed doors. Staff supports the EAGLE Board in their role, and provides a staff report and staff recommendations to the board prior to each review
