The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION, and the <br />Motion carried unanimously. <br />14.E.2 . ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL MEMBER COMPOSITION AND THE <br />SUNSHINE LAW <br />Commissioner Zorc, Commissioner Liaison to the Economic Development Council <br />(EDC), stated that he had submitted a list of proposed economic development initiatives to the <br />EDC, but to date, there has been insufficient time to consider them. He was concerned that <br />acting as Commissioner Liaison to the EDC was limiting his ability to accomplish his goals. He <br />also wanted to make sure that no EDC members were violating the Sunshine Law by discussing <br />matters brought up at the EDC meetings when they return to their respective agencies. <br />A lengthy discussion followed, with input from Attorney Polackwich, on the function and <br />composition of the EDC. <br />Beth Mitchell, Chair, Economic Development Council, affirmed the EDC's willingness <br />to work with Commissioner Zorc, but explained that time constraints make it challenging to <br />explore all of the agenda items. <br />Discussion followed as individual Board Members remarked on several approaches that a <br />Commissioner can take to move forward on important issues. It was noted that Commissioner <br />Zorc's proposed Land Development Regulation amendments would have to come through <br />Community Development, not the EDC. <br />Penny Chandler, Indian River County Chamber of Commerce, affirmed that the <br />Chamber of Commerce and the EDC are in no way violating the Sunshine Law. <br />May 7, 20t3' <br />33 <br />1K P4 3 PG 8'1. <br />
