FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS Roll Call Mr. Teague called the meeting to order and made the following statement: Due to the nature of the incident that occurred following our last meeting and the ongoing related legal processes, this Board will make no comment on the situation and will not entertain any comments or questions relating to the matter from the audience. Also, as there may have been some relation, this Board has made itself quite clear that the subject of Supervisor compensation is outside the control of this Board as a whole. It is a matter of statute that the Board is unable to modify as a body. Consequently, the Board will not accept any further questions or comments from the audience during its meetings on the subject matter. The proper forum for the public to express comments on the particular statute and its application would be to the Florida Legislature or to our State Representative and Senator.
