In a 4-1 vote this morning at a Special County Commission meeting, Commissioner’s voted against the vote of the Policy Board (which Lober Chairs) to close all beaches in Brevard County for certain hours and certain days. The Policy Board voted in favor of the action yesterday with a 5-4 vote. Lober, one of the only 2 elected officials on the board, voted in favor of the closure. Sheriff Ivey voted against it.
In what could be called a rebuke form the 4 other Commissioners today, they felt as though the Policy Board was over reaching and making decisions that elected Commissioners should make.
