End
Summary Explanation and Background:
The proposed amendments to BCC-97, Board Meeting Rules and Procedures, were recommended by the Chair in order to streamline meetings and prioritize the broadcast of official business of the Board of County Commissioners as published on the agenda.
The proposed amendments establish by policy the existing practice that the SCGTV / Communications Office records meetings of the Board of County Commissioners, and broadcasts the meetings on Space Coast Government Television. The amendments further formalize in policy that the Brevard County Government website hosts live Board meetings and an archive of previously recorded meetings. The amendments provide for SCGTV to record and broadcast Board meetings from the beginning of each meeting until the conclusion of Board reports.
The proposed amendments modify the order of business on Board meeting agendas to provide that public comment shall follow Board reports.
