The Chairman called a break at 10:05 a.m. and reconvened the meeting at 10:15 a.m. <br />with all members present. <br />14.D. COMMISSIONER PETER D. O'BRYAN- NONE <br />14.E. COMMISSIONER BOB SOLARI <br />14.E.1. COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR JOE BAIRD, THE DLII AND THE <br />PROCESS GOING FORWARD <br />Commissioner Solari, speaking for himself and fellow Commissioners, emphasized that <br />the Board did not condone drinking and driving, and that they all recognize the dangers <br />associated with it. He stressed that it is wrong, should not be done, and felt that if something <br />good is to come out of this situation, it should be that the dangers of drinking and driving are <br />made clearer to everyone, and that the publicity reduces further examples of irresponsible <br />behavior. <br />Commissioner Solari summarized his Agenda Item and acknowledged that he had <br />requested each Commissioner to pass any questions relating to this matter to the County <br />Attorney so he would have time to formulate a response for this meeting. He pointed out that <br />this is the first time that this matter has been discussed among the Commissioners, due to the <br />Sunshine Law. Even though he recognized the Chairman as a great advocate for allowing the <br />public to speak; he recommended the Board not have public discussion today, since it could <br />increase the County's potential liability for the violation of the County Administrator's civil <br />rights. He welcomed comments from the pubic through calls, e-mails, or writing. <br />26 <br />June 9, 2009 <br />
