IX. Public Comments
None
X. Announcements
None
XI. Committee Member Discussion
Mr. Pennington noted that the Policy Amendment has been approved by the
Board of County Commissioners. A newspaper printed inaccurate information
about the subject. Mr. Pennington wrote a letter in response that was then
published. He suggested having regular Coastal Advisory Committee meetings at
the City Council Site and will look into the availability since there were no
objections. The only draw back would be the lack of access to the Counties
internet system for the staff. Legal staff will return to verify that it is appropriate
for the meeting location to be at the City.
