14.E. COMMISSIONER BOB SOLARI <br /> 14. E. 1. RESIDENTL4L — FERTILIZER BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES <br /> Commissioners O ' Bryan and Solari gave an overview of two proposed educational <br /> resources - a brochure on "Best Management Practices" from Scotts Miracle- Gro Company, and <br /> a "Best Management Practices — Residential Fertilizer" informational letter (both on file) . They <br /> also discussed the printing of the brochures and methods of disbursement . <br /> The Board debated which publication would be best to mail ; which would be best for the <br /> County ' s website ; and whether it would be permissible to send the brochures out with the <br /> County ' s utility bills . <br /> Commissioner Solari suggested that staff put the following four "Best Management <br /> Practices" on the County ' s website : fertilizer, water conservation, recycling, and septic tanks . <br /> He also wanted to eventually have more links added for additional information. <br /> Bob Johnson, Coral Wind Subdivision, felt this would be great advertising for Scotts <br /> Miracle-Gro Company, and wondered if other businesses would ask for the same publicity . He <br /> felt the goal is to educate residents, and believed the information should be put on the website . <br /> MOTION WAS MADE by Vice Chairman O ' Bryan, <br /> SECONDED by Commissioner Davis, to : ( 1 ) utilize the <br /> 50 , 000 brochures printed courtesy of Scotts Miracle- Gro ; <br /> (2) send out 44, 000 brochures along with the County' s <br /> utility bills ; (3 ) distribute the remaining 6, 000 the best <br /> way possible; and (4) direct staff to start posting "Best <br /> Management Practices" on the County ' s website . <br /> A brief discussion ensued as the Commissioners acknowledged Mr. Johnson ' s concerns . <br /> September 18 , 2012 18 4 G 9 ,36 <br />
