Re: SoundinJZ Board (Second Request)
By Facsimile and Certified Mail
Dear Mr. Roberts:
Thi s is my second request letter to appear at sOWlding board at the next commission meeting.
Please see my previous request, sent on September 27, 2001, at enclosure 1.
When my staff caBed yesterday, we were told by "Debbie," in your office, that, although you
ref;eived the above letter, you required that I resend the letter giving a description of what I wanted
to talk about before you would allow me to be placed on Sounding Board.
I have reexamined the paragraph in your Monroe County Board of County Commissioners
Administrative Procedures paragraph 1.03 (c) (Sounding Board) There appears to be no requirement
to provide you with the such content information as a precondition to speech. If there are
requirements to that effect in writing, please provide all of them, by return facsimile.
Jfyol! provide written requirement(s) or limitation(s) that are reasonably consistent with the
law and doctrines encompassed in the First AmendmentlPublic ForumIPolitical Speech arena, I will
be happy to comply. In do not hear from you, I will assume that there are no limitations other than
those contained in existing law or in the above described paragraph penaining to Sounding Board.
As I previously requested, please have your staff confirm my appearance on Sounding Board
i.ncluding the date and time certain for my appearance, by return facsimile to 305-296-5254.
