that he agreed to absolute confidentially, and execute a document to not disclose what is in the <br />bid. Since he was not willing to sign the document, he still has not seen a copy of the original <br />document that was placed on the table for the Councilmembers to consider. <br />Discussion ensued between the Commissioners and Mr. Heady regarding the bulk power <br />rate, public records, and a verbatim transcript of Mr. Heady's earlier comments. <br />Vice Chairman Solari read and commented on portions of the October 15, 2009 Joint <br />Meeting Minutes between the City of Indian River Shores, City of Vero Beach, and the County <br />regarding policy changes to sewer and water utilities. <br />There was a lengthy discussion regarding the City of Vero Beach electric bills, rate <br />increases, comparison of the electric rates, using an independent party to evaluate facts and <br />information, and the lack of debate/cooperation within the City Council. <br />Chairman O'Bryan, for the record, pointed out that Mr. Heady was in attendance <br />expressing his individual views, not the views of the City of Vero Beach as a collective body. <br />He appreciated the communication Mr. Heady brought to the Board, and reiterated that as long <br />as he is acting Chairman, Mr. Heady, as well as any other Municipality Official, are welcome to <br />speak at the Board of County Commission Meetings. <br />Mr. Heady said he would be willing to provide the Board of County Commissioners <br />with an update every third Tuesday of the month, until the utility issue is resolved or until the <br />update is deemed unnecessary. <br />Warren Winchester, former Vero Beach Mayor, felt it was inappropriate for the <br />Commissioners to permit Mr. Heady to speak as an individual before the Board regarding <br />Council issues, and encouraged everyone to start working together. <br />14 <br />February 16, 2010 <br />
