BOOK 10 8 PAGE 4 <br />Alisha Page, also of OMS, concluded that a countywide ordinance would, hopefully, <br />improve the health and well-being of all residents of Indian River County. <br />Ms. Hyde summarized that she felt the students were trying to communicate the fact <br />that they have seen for themselves how the tobacco products are in such easy reach to the <br />youth of Indian River County. They want to do something about it through a County <br />ordinance. <br />Chairman Macht suggested, if there were no objections, that the County Attorney's <br />Office determine the viability of the law and report to the Board. He personally felt it was <br />a very good idea. <br />Vice Chairman Adams agreed it was a good idea. She wanted to see a draft of it <br />before it goes to public hearing. <br />County Attorney Vitunac requested a copy of a model ordinance, and Ms. Hyde <br />advised that she would get one to him. <br />Chairman Macht asked that she coordinate with County Attorney Vitunac. <br />Vice Chairman Adams thanked the students for making the effort necessary for the <br />survey saying that it took "brass" to do what they did. She also commented that the students <br />were looking at a Board of County Commissioners that is "smoke free". <br />Chairman Macht expressed appreciation on behalf of the Board and thought they <br />might consider some additional controls on signs. <br />OSCEOLA MAGNET SCHOOL STUDENTS' VISIT <br />Chairman Macht welcomed kindergarten students of Osceola Magnet School who <br />were visiting to learn about government -in -action. Supervisor of Elections Kay Clem had <br />arranged this field trip for the children and later showed them election materials and <br />machinery. <br />9.C.
