7. APPROVAL OF ISSUE REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL TO HIRE PRIVATE <br /> 't.. COUNSEL AS REQUIRED BY HB 909 <br /> Chairman O'Bryan posed several questions inquiring what was the procedure to follow in making <br /> this selection, how to determine the fee, and how the RFP would be advertised. Attorney Collins <br /> indicated that if the appointment is made prior to September 1st, he would be able to discuss it <br /> with the Board. He believed, aside from the 5 years experience as an attorney as stated in the <br /> Statutes, the Board may want to look for someone who has a background in real estate or taxation. <br /> He advised that the Board should determine the fee depending upon the proposals, the Board's <br /> evaluation, and the applicant's qualifications. He had seen the fee range from $95.00 to $220.00 <br /> in other counties. <br /> Discussion ensued regarding private counsel having residency in Indian River. <br /> Board Member Johnson,moved approval for staff to advertise to hire Private Counsel for the <br /> VAB,which approval was seconded by Board Member Davis and, upon being put to the vote, the <br /> vote was as follows: <br /> Peter D.
