County Attorney's Matters-P.C.C. 07.15.14 <br /> ' Off,ce of <br /> INDIAN RIVER COUNTY <br /> ATT09NEY <br /> Dylan Reingold,County Attorney <br /> William K.DeBraal,Depute County,:attorney <br /> Kate Pingolt Cotner,Assistant County Attorney <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> TO: Board of County Commissioners <br /> FROM: Dylan Reingold, County Attorney�r <br /> DATE: July 3, 2014 <br /> SUBJECT: Letter to the Florida Municipal Power Agency Concerning Meeting Agendas <br /> BACKGROUND <br /> On July 1, 2014, the Board of County Commissioners requested the County Attorney's Office to draft a <br /> letter to the Florida Municipal Power Agency (FMPA) concerning their meeting agendas. There have <br /> been numerous occasions in the past several months in which the City of Vero Beach electric utility sale <br /> has been discussed at either a FMPA Board of Directors meeting or at the FMPA ARP Executive <br /> Committee meetings. However, the agendas for these meetings do not reflect the sale as an item to be <br /> discussed. Although the failure of an item to appear on an agenda does not preclude discussion of that <br /> item at a properly noticed meeting, the Attorney General has taken the position that boards should discuss <br /> only those matters of which the public has been properly advised. The Attorney General has even warned <br /> boards that the use of tactics to circumvent or frustrate the Sunshine Law could subject such boards to <br /> appropriate legal action. In the letter attached hereto, Board of County Commissioners requests that all <br /> future agendas reflect any discussions of the proposed City of Vero Beach electric utility sale thereby <br /> properly notifying the citizens of Indian River County when the issue will be discussed. <br /> FUNDING. <br /> There is no funding associated with this agenda item. <br /> Indian River Co.
