He requested permission to advertise for the <br />ordinance. <br />Budget Director Jason Brown provided further clarification on the use of funds. He offered to <br />provide a breakdown of tickets issued in the County and in the municipalities. <br /> <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Bowden, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Lowther, the Board unanimously authorized staff <br />to proceed with the required advertisement for a public hearing to <br />be held on September 5, 2006, at 9:00 a.m., or as soon thereafter as <br />the matter may be heard, to amend Section 305.09 of the Code of <br />Indian River County, as requested in the memorandum of August <br />14, 2006. <br />7.AA.
