Thank you for your request,Mr. Ward.
I will place your Sounding Board item on the July 19,2023 BOCC Meeting in Marathon,
Florida at the Marathon Government Center in the BOCC Chambers on the second floor.
Just as a reminder,here is how Sounding Board works.
b) Sounding Board:
Individuals who wish to utilize Sounding Board must contact the County
Administrator's Office in writing in order to be scheduled on the agenda, must specify
the subject matter of the presentation, and must comply with the agenda deadlines
established in Section 1.03.
4170
A separate section of the regular meeting agenda will be reserved for Sounding
Board. Sounding Board will be scheduled for the end of the agenda. The purpose of
the Sounding board is to allow individuals to address the County Commission on a
matter pertaining to County government, excluding matters in litigation and
complaints against specific personnel. The person requesting the Sounding Board
item may address the County Commission for a period up to Five minutes. Subsequent
speakers on that item may speak for three minutes. An individual who has appeared
on Sounding Board on a topic must wait at least six months before appearing on
Sounding Board on that same topic.
No action may be taken by the County Commission on a Sounding Board agenda item;
however,the Board may give direction to staff.
I will email you when the time gets closer a time approximate for your item.
Talk soon.
Sincerely,
Lindsey Ballard
