Commissioner Macht noted that there is hardly anything in the human condition that <br />is not controversial and it is not the Board's job to deal with those matters. Organizations <br />love to have proclamations. He believed it should be left to the discretion of the Chairman <br />as to whether or not a proclamation should be issued. <br />MOTION WAS made by Commissioner Tippin, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Ginn to approve <br />Commissioner's Ginn recommendation and set up a <br />committee to come up with the recommended <br />guidelines for issuance of proclamations. <br />County Attorney Paul Bangel suggested that the Board appoint one person to <br />investigate the matter rather than establishing a committee. <br />Commissioner Adams recalled a proclamation which was turned down by the Board <br />some years ago because it was not generic to this area. She noted that the proclamation <br />which occasioned this discussion was requested by herself and emphasized that <br />proclamations are just a recognition of a person or event, such as the Frog Leg Festival. She <br />did not believe there to be a problem with the current method of issuing proclamations. <br />Chairman Stanbridge agreed that there should be some simple guidelines in place. <br />MOTION WAS withdrawn by Commissioner <br />Tippin. <br />JUNE 11, 2002 <br />-52- <br />
