The Attorney Gneral rules that:
"While a county, effective October 1, 1983, has the power to waive the procedures and formalities otherwise required of it by law pertaining to taking whatever prudent action is necessary to insure the health, safety and welfare of the community, this statute vests no substantive powers in the county and this office cannot state that such a provision authorizes, or constitutes a delegation of the Governor's power to, the county to commandeer private property."
