Commissioner Lowther advocated one Board meeting at night per month and <br />suggested the second Tuesday of each month at 6:30 p.m. when there would be no conflict and <br />meeting could be televised live on the government channel. <br />Chairman Ginn cautioned this would be tough on staff because there are other <br />evening committee meetings they must attend, and Commissioner Lowther suggested staff could <br />stagger their working hours. <br />County Attorney Collins suggested they start in July, but County Administrator <br />Baird thought it would be better to start after July since there already will be extra meetings in July <br />with budget workshops. <br />County Administrator Baird understood this came up as a result of the concerns <br />about growth and perhaps by televising the Planning and Zoning Commission meetings that occur <br />at night, people would be more aware of what is coming along. <br />Discussion ensued. It was suggested that meetings be business as usual and provide <br />for a cutoff time. Also, staff would look at televising P & Z meetings to get more information to <br />the public. <br />County Attorney Collins advised they will have to prepare an ordinance to amend <br />the Code. <br /> <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Lowther, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Macht, the Board unanimously directed the <br />County Attorney to prepare an ordinance to amend the <br />Code to provide that the Board of County Commissioners <br />will hold their regular meeting on the second Tuesday of <br />each month at 6:30 p.m. (Clerk’s Note: Ordinance No. <br />2004-023, adopted July 20, 2004, amending Section 102.01 <br />to provide for one night time meeting per month on the <br />second Tuesday of each month commencing at 6:00 p.m. <br />beginning September 14, 2004.) <br />June 8, 2004 <br />31 <br /> <br />
