Future Discussion on Civility Code

On next week's agenda of the Board of County Commission, a discussion will take place on a possible implementation of a Civility Code for Hernando County. Gary Adams broached this very subject at last week's meeting with input from Sarasota County's Civility Code and the response was cool, at best, last week. This morning at the BOCC meeting, Anna Liisa Covell made public comments at Citizen's Input to suggest a Civility Code for all county boards, commissions and committees of Hernando County stating that the county needs to lead by example. She submitted information to the commissioners on one such civility Code now in affect in the city of Dunedin. At the end of today's BOCC meeting, Commissioner Rowden brought up the topic of the Civility Code and suggested that Mr. Adams submittal from last week on civility be discussed further, along with a proposal she had previously submitted several years ago on the subject. Commissioner Schenck agreed to agendize the Civility Code topic at next week's board meeting after reaching a consensus of the his entire board.
