The Chairman opened the floor to the Public; seeing no speakers, the Chairman closed <br />the open session and called for a Motion. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner O'Bryan, SECONDED by <br />Chairman Flescher, the Board unanimously approved <br />Resolution 2013-066 approving an exchange of land with <br />KAH Development Corporation. <br />DOCUMENTS ARE ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF THE CLERK TO THE BOARD <br />14. COMMISSIONER ITEMS <br />14.A. COMMISSIONER JOSEPH E. FLESCHER, CHAIRMAN <br />14.A.1. ADDITION - EXPLANATION OF SUNSHINE LAW REQUIREMENTS FOR <br />COMMISSIONERS ATTENDING AND PARTICIPATING AT PUBLIC <br />MEETINGS THAT ARE NOT BOARD DIRECTED. <br />Chairman Flescher dissertated on recent concerns regarding the Commissioners' <br />attendance and participation at community meetings, particularly when more than one <br />Commissioner is in attendance. He asked the County Attorney for an explanation of staff's <br />obligation at public meetings that are not Board directed, advice on specifically attending the <br />upcoming Gifford Neighborhood meeting, and speaking on Community Redevelopment Area <br />issues (CRA) with Civic Groups. <br />Attorney Reingold gave a brief overview of the Sunshine Law requirements. He stated <br />that the meetings need to be noticed, held in a public area, and minutes need to be taken, should <br />two or more Commissioners wish to attend and participate. He advised that the Gifford <br />Neighborhood meeting is noticed and held in a public area, and if a Commissioner wants to <br />participate at that meeting, minutes must be taken. He told the Board that at the beginning of the <br />meeting, they should make their comments and answer any questions they would like to, and if <br />they were to break out into separate groups or committees, he advised the Board to exit the <br />meeting to avoid further complications with the Sunshine Law, and let staff remain to participate. <br />BK 144 PG 111 <br />July 16, 2013 21 <br />
