SEP 5 1984 Booz 58 P,{1, 460 <br />Attorney Wilson reported that the Legislature already <br />has addressed this issue and established certain minimum re- <br />quirements for removal and replacement of political signs <br />and has permitted cities and counties to pass more <br />restrictive requirements if desired. The Supervisor of <br />Elections will advise candidates of these new standards, <br />which are in statute 106.1425. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED <br />by Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously <br />(4-0) closed the public hearing. <br />Commissioner Bird felt possibly we should include some <br />type of an appeal provision in the ordinance where someone <br />who is running in a race for a position that doesn't pay <br />anything or has some hardship could appeal for a waiver of <br />the bond requirement. <br />Attorney Wilson agreed that could be done, but noted <br />that the bond would only be required if you intend to place <br />signs; the bond probably would only cost $25.00 and the <br />signs would cost far more than that. <br />In further discussion, it was agreed that we do not <br />want to limit participation in political races and that <br />there should be a provision for a waiver if it can be <br />demonstrated it would be a hardship. <br />Attorney Paull suggested that the wording which refers <br />to a candidate for an elective office of the City of Vero <br />Beach, Indian River County, or any other Florida county, <br />should also state any municipality or taxing district, etc. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED <br />by Commissioner Bowman, the Board unanimously <br />adopted Ordinance 84-59 with the changes <br />agreed upon. <br />54 <br />
