County Attorney Collins advised that he had researched and read the applicable statute concerning Supervisor of Elections Kay Clem’s request that she not be required to have an office in the new County Administration Building. He explained they could adopt a resolution after not less than two public hearings to expand the geographical area of the County Seat beyond the corporate limits of the municipality (Vero Beach).
