APPROVAL OF CONSENT AGENDA
25. Motion to Approve Consent Agenda -- (excluding Item # 13) -- Approved, Unanimous
CITIZEN COMMENTS
Ed Goff -- recited a list of what he believes is wrong with the way Manatee officials are responding to criticism regarding the millions of dollars not available due to not responding to an expiration on suspended school impact fees.
Goff said:
-- No teacher or school administrator would ever refuse any funding for the schools.
-- Any person who requested suspension of impact fees didn't have the best interest of our children in mind.
-- The School Board has no legal authority to suspend or impose impact fees.
-- School impact fees should have been resumed on July 28, 2013.
Later, when County Attorney William Clague characterized the process, Goff stood-up and said "Point of Order" which according to 'Robert's Rules' the speaker is then asked to specify exactly what is meant by their statement, because what was spoken is being challenged as being factual.
The chairman quickly asked Goff to sit down, and as Goff demanded to be recognized, security moved his way and Goff was warned he would be removed if he didn't take his seat.
Goff sat and later Clague returned to clarify a few statements. He did state that Goff was correct, that his (Clague's) phrasing was lazy and misleading; but Clague did not apologize.
Paul Valenza -- thought the county should quickly recognize that there is a need to change the School Board Impact Fees immediately.
Velezena said that there are only one or two counties in the state that don't have impact fees, and we shouldn't waste any time getting ours back.
