13.D.1. COMMISSIONER THOMAS S. LOWTHER - DISCUSSION <br />REGARDING ELECTION OF CHAIRMAN AND VICE CHAIRMAN <br />Commissioner Lowther commented that at the last meeting when the Board elected <br />the new Chairman and Vice Chairman he and Commissioner -elect Neuberger were in the <br />audience. He truly felt they should have had an opportunity today to participate in that <br />process. <br />Commissioner Ginn explained that the Indian River County Code provides for <br />election of new officers at the first meeting in January each year. This year, the Board lost <br />both officers and needed to have a Chairman to open today's meeting and conduct the <br />County's business. <br />Commissioner Lowther thought the election last week could have been just to open <br />this meeting and then hold another election after the new Commissioners were sworn. <br />Commissioner Ginn suggested the Code be studied and perhaps changed, but it is rare <br />to have both the Chairman and Vice Chairman leaving office at the same time. <br />Discussion followed. <br />There was CONSENSUS to direct the County Attorney to look at changing the Code <br />concerning the election of Chairman and Vice Chairman and bring the matter back to the <br />Board. <br />13.D.2. COMMISSIONER THOMAS S. LOWTHER - PROPOSED <br />ORDINANCE: COMMISSIONS AND BOARDS ESTABLISHED BY THE <br />BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br />The Board reviewed a Memorandum of November 13, 2002: <br />November 19, 2002 <br />62 <br />CIS <br />
