ON MOTION by Vice Chairman Solari, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Davis, the Board unanimously directed <br />staff to evaluate committees, membership, and <br />responsibilities, and as a goal, cut the number of <br />committees in half, and bring it back to the Board for <br />reconsideration and reorganization. <br />14.B. COMMISSIONER BOB SOLARI, VICE CHAIRMAN <br />14.B. 1. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT/GOAL SUMMIT UPDATE <br />Vice Chairman Solari reminded the Board and public that the Economic Development <br />portion of the meeting was scheduled for Thursday, February 18th, 2010 from 9:00 a.m. to noon, <br />and the Goal Summit from 1:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., both at the City of Sebastian Council <br />Chambers. <br />14.B.2. POLICY DISCUSSION <br />Vice Chairman Solari spoke about a recent situation he encountered with City of Vero <br />Beach staff, pertaining to their policy on utilities. He presented this item in order to make the <br />Commissioners aware that the City of Vero Beach was interested in eventually reducing the area <br />of its utility to a smaller entity that would not include South County or Indian River Shores. <br />After making inquiries, Vice Chairman Solari established that the County Commission has only <br />one articulated policy, which is to join with the City of Vero Beach and Indian River Shores, and <br />hire a Consultant to help the Board make the right decision. He did not think this was an <br />example of cooperation, and he stressed the need for open and transparent discussions. <br />NO ACTION REQUIRED OR TAKEN <br />30 <br />February 16, 2010 <br />
