Sidney Turner, 8775 20' Street, stated that Commissioner Ken Macht was able to <br />retain his Commission seat by less than 1% and he quoted Commissioner Macht that he had <br />never been in a closer race. He felt that Commissioner Macht should have received a <br />message from that outcome. <br />Chairman Adams asked Mr. Turner not to make personal or political statements but <br />to address the facts as the Board needed to move forward with a number of items. <br />Mr. Turner hoped that Commissioner Machtwould evaluate several options regarding <br />_ the beach issue as he promised during his political campaign. He also quoted one of <br />Commissioner Macht's political advertisements containing the words "easy to be against <br />things" and stated that was very wrong. As one of the public "watchdogs", he spends many <br />hours doing his homework. <br />Chairman Adams noted that this is not the proper forum for political attacks. She felt <br />that items should come before the Board when staff cannot solve the problems. It is <br />counterproductive for staff and the Board to use this public discussion time for this purpose. <br />She felt a need to keep politics out of the business of the County or the business of the <br />County will become politics. She directed staff to bring back to the Board next week some <br />recommendations for setting a policy for the use of the Public Discussion time in order to <br />assist the Board in keeping the discussions relative to the business of the County. <br />CONSENSUS was reached to direct staff to add to the Agenda for the meeting of <br />October 17, 2000, under Public Discussion Items, recommendations for policies regarding <br />public discussion items. <br />OC�?BERJ <br />FTTWT17 -40- <br />0 0 <br />
