BRADENTON -- At Tuesday's meeting, members voted 6-1 to move forward in revising the code enforcement hearing process to utilize special magistrates in place of the code enforcement board. In other business, Kameron Hodgens was appointed to a three year position on the Children's Services Advisory Board. And finally Jeanne Watkins was awarded Employee of the Month. Watkins is retiring in January after 35 years. Coworkers say she is "irreplaceable."

Att. Mark Barnebey spoke, asking the Commission if they could reconsider bringing the Thom Howze decision back for additional revisions.

COMMISSIONER COMMENTS
33. Commissioner Comments --
Whitmore -- Asked if the County attorney could look into the bus passes not being available? -Said she attended the Medical Examiner meeting, they assist in death investigation -- prepared the annual work load report. USF started it first, it's a four year program, 86 students singed up, their goals are going to be geared more around work force.
DiSabatino -- New Publix is opening on Lockwood Ridge Rd. Neal and Medallion are moving West. And I believe the Holiday Inn at SRQ is full service.
Chappie -- None
Gallen -- Solid waste is an issue, lower garbage rates, Hillsborough adopted automatic curbside pick-up. One other item, statement on legal service funding, would like to make a motion. Manasota provides indigent care pro-bono -- entire families with small chilldren; increase appropriations to Manasota and Gulf Coast Legal and United Way
Baugh -- I don't feel comfortable. I have been getting e mails on this. About not doing what they we're suppose to do.
Gallen - We shouldn't get involved in the day to day.
Bustle - the attorneys were fired by the director
DiSabatino - We should just do what we have been doing in the past.
Whitmore - consider withdrawing the motion until we find out more
Gallen - withdrew the motion to a later date.
Benac -- TBARTA -- meeting was about automated vehicles, they are not that far off. Florida is one of the few states that allow automated cars. All Aboard Florida is a private group interested in the rail from Orlando to Ft Lauderdale.
Baugh -- John H. Marble Pool & Spa, I met with a group that are looking for a location. We would like to see some outreach. Motion to keep the pool open one more year unit we can find something. -- Approved, Unanimous
Bustle -- Rate approval for high school athletics -- are the pools rated for competition? -- New Hampton Inn (pink palace) has no bar or restaurant, that bothers me, I don't know if we should get involved or not. Met with Rubonia assoc. these folks want the center to reopen. Will the school board turn it over to a group or non-profit? It is closed and no funds to reopen it. They are looking for any solution.
Ed Hunzeker -- (on the John Marvell pool) We need to inventory all of the pools, see what is available.
(on mechanical trash pick-up containers) - All of the companies offer the containers.
