Vitunac, County Attorney <br />DATE: Ju y 15, 1993 <br />RE: Z1; <br />1 romagnetio Field Seminar <br />Attached is notice of a two-day seminar on electromagnetic field <br />regulation which may be helpful to the County in developing regulations <br />concerning electromagnetic fields. The City Attorney of Vero Beach is <br />planning on attending this seminar. <br />REQUESTED ACTION: Request direction from the Board whether the County <br />should be represented at the electromagnetic field seminar, and if so by <br />whom. <br />Commissioner Macht did not think this conference would provide <br />any useful information. His experience has been that this <br />discussion has gone on for 33 years and he predicted that the <br />conclusion of the conference will be that they do not know the <br />effect of 60 cycles H Field - this is not EMF, or Electromagnetic <br />Field. <br />Commissioner Eggert thought this is a way to get information <br />on this subject because the Commissioners have been receiving <br />inquiries about it. That information also might be helpful in the <br />future in preparing state and local EMF regulations. <br />Commissioner Adams stated that the Florida Association of <br />Counties is researching this issue and the Treasure Coast Regional <br />Planning Council will send us sample ordinances to regulate <br />placement of poles. <br />Chairman Bird asked who should attend, and Attorney Vitunac <br />responded that the memo suggested personnel from planning and <br />zoning. This seminar is sponsored by industry to learn how to <br />protect themselves from regulation. He advised that the Vero Beach <br />City Attorney and Hillsborough County Attorney plan to attend. <br />This is the only seminar which gives us industry's point of view <br />and it will be useful to have someone there. <br />62 <br />
