REQUEST BY COMMISSIONERS (Items to be pulled from Consent Agenda) -- Items #10 and #26 were pulled from the consent agenda.
CITIZEN COMMENTS (Consent Agenda Items Only)
6. Citizen Comments -- Citizens served the board with a writ of mandamus for the establishment of a common law grand jury in Manatee County. Citing the Magna Carta, quotes from George Washington, the Supreme Court, as well as the state and federal Constitution, a group called the Common Law Grand Jury Investigative Administrators, represented by Rodger Dowdell Jr., were cut short in their allotted public comment time, though commissioners said they would schedule a workshop on the issue. Click here to read the writ of mandamus.
Glen Gibellina presented a petition to the commission supporting Item #26 on the consent agenda. The request was for the installation of two speed tables on 28th Street East. One of the signatures on the petition was Tim Podgis, who says he didn't sign the petition. The commission decided there was still an overwhelming amount of support to install the speed tables, yet chose to put a workshop together on the subject; shelving the item until a later date. Residents were opposed to the many large construction dump trucks speeding through what is a "No Thru Traffic" road, and sailing through the stop signs.
