DEC o 11992 <br />HOOK 88 NIGE187 '7 <br />PUBLIC DISCUSSION <br />REQUEST FROM COUNTRYSIDE TO DISCUSS SEWER <br />Chairman Eggert asked if the representative from Countryside <br />was present. There was no response, and she postponed the item. <br />Later in the meeting, Administrator Chandler reported that in the <br />interim he telephoned Mr. Peters and learned that Mr. Peters 1—.s <br />confused about the schedule and did not realize he was to be <br />present at this time. Mr. Peters requested that this item be reset <br />for December 15, 1992. The members of the Board agreed to do so. <br />PUBLISHING THE AGENDA IN THE SEBASTIAN SUN NEWSPAPER <br />Administrator Chandler recounted the Board's direction at last <br />week's meeting to advertise the agenda in the Press Journal and <br />Sebastian Sun. He reported that Sebastian Sun had a deadline of <br />5:00 p.m. on Wednesday. The Administrator's office sets a deadline <br />for County staff to submit their agenda items by noon on Wednesday, <br />and with that scheduling, it is impossible to meet the requirements <br />of the Sebastian Sun. Mr. Chandler suggested the alternative of <br />advertising in the Press Journal and in their north county <br />publication called the Sebastian Free Press. That publication is <br />distributed free in north county and has a circulation of about <br />4400. <br />Discussion ensued regarding the method of distribution and the <br />circulation numbers for the Sebastian Free Press, and the Board <br />agreed that advertising in the Press Journal will be sufficient. <br />Commissioner Adams recommended submitting an incomplete agenda <br />to the Sebastian Sun on Wednesday afternoon and indicate that it is <br />an incomplete agenda. She felt that even though it would be <br />incomplete, it would give us more readership than the Free Press. <br />Administrator Chandler confirmed that could be done, and he <br />added that public hearings are scheduled far enough in advance that <br />they could be advertised in the Sebastian Sun. <br />Commissioner Bird asked what the cost would be to advertise in <br />the Sebastian Sun, and Mr. Chandler responded that the estimate was <br />$6,200 per year but would be less with an incomplete agenda. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Macht, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Adams, the Board unanimously authorized <br />staff to advertise the complete agenda for the BCC <br />meetings in the Press Journal, and to advertise the <br />scheduled public hearings in the Sebastian Sun as <br />well as the portion of the agenda that is available <br />to meet the Sebastian Sun's Wednesday 5:00 p.m. <br />deadline. <br />18 <br />
