MOTION WAS AMENDED to include that it would be <br />revisited after 6 months and was agreed to by the maker of <br />the motion and the second. <br /> <br />Chairman Neuberger spoke against the motion because so few requested that the <br />agenda be mailed to them after the last time the Board decided not to publish the agenda. <br /> <br />The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and the motion <br />carried 4-1 (Chairman Neuberger opposed.) (The Board <br />approved publishing the Commission agenda in the Indian <br />River Vero Beach Press Journal at an approximate annual <br />cost of $40,000 starting with the March 14, 2006 agenda <br />and agreed to reconsider the matter after six months.) <br /> <br />10.B. COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR’S MATTERS – LOBBYIST <br />County Administrator Baird reviewed the memorandum of March 1, 2006 and <br />explained we are one of the few local governments that does not have either a State or Federal <br />lobbyist. He believed a lobbyist would be good for the County, it was included in the budget, and <br />he asked that he be authorized to negotiate at this time. <br /> <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Vice Chairman Wheeler, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Bowden, to authorize <br />negotiations with a lobbyist for an annual contract and for <br />the Board to receive an annual list of accomplishments on <br />what has been gained through the use of the lobbyist. <br /> <br />March 7, 2006 <br />24 <br /> <br />
