At a recent Commission meeting the subject matter was discussed and it was the consensus that "Public Hearings" should come before "Public Discussion Items." An ordinance to effect this change is attached. A public hearing date of November 22, 1994 is suggested. ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Adams, the Board unanimously scheduled a public hearing on November 22, 1994 to consider an ordinance amending Section 102.04, entitled "Order of Business" of the Indian River County Code. V. Presentation of Proclamations The Board reviewed memo from Chairman Tippin dated October 27, 1994: TO: Board of County Commissioners FROM: John W. Tippin, Chairman DATE: October 27, 1994 SUBJECT: Presentation of Proclamations - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - It occurs to me that we don't exercise any screening of proclamations adopted by the Board. Our meeting agendas are also getting longer and the number of proclamations being presented is taking up more time that perhaps could be better used for other issues. I have been given to understand that, during one of his years as Chairman, past. commissioner Pat Lyons elected not to present proclamations unless they were honoring an individual for meritorious service; all other_ proclamations were placed on the consent agenda. I would recommend to the Board that we also develop a policy of not presenting proclamations unless they are honoring an individual, .and. that all other proclamations --approved by the Board should be placed under the consent agenda and mailed to the requesting parties. 30 November 1, 1994 I
