The first portion of Audience Comments on the agenda, will be held at the beginning of the meeting and is on Agenda Items Only.

Neither the Board of Supervisors nor Staff is obligated to provide a response until sufficient time for research or action is warranted. IF THE COMMENT CONCERNS A MAINTENANCE RELATED ITEM, THE ITEM MAY NEED TO BE ADDRESSED BY STAFF OUTSIDE THE CONTEXT OF THIS MEETING.

The Business Administration section contains items that require the review and approval of the District Board of Supervisors as a normal course of business.

The Business Items section contains items for approval by the District Board of Supervisors that may require discussion, motion and votes on an item-by-item basis. Occasionally, certain items for decision within this section are required by Florida Statute to be held as a Public Hearing. During the Public Hearing portion of the agenda item, each member of the public will be permitted to provide one comment on the issue, prior to the Board of Supervisors’ discussion, motion and vote. Agendas can be reviewed by contacting the Manager’s office at (904) 436-6270 at least seven days in advance of the scheduled meeting.

The Staff Reports section allows the District Manager, Engineer, Counsel and other Staff to update the Board of Supervisors on any pending issues that are being researched for Board action.

The Supervisor Requests section is when the Supervisors may request Staff to prepare certain items in an effort to meet residential needs.

Public workshop sessions may be advertised and held in an effort to provide informational services. These sessions allow staff or consultants to discuss a policy or business matter in a more informal manner and allow for lengthy presentations prior to scheduling the item for approval. No motions or votes are made during workshops.
