He also mentioned that because of his office's emphasis on fiscal accountability, the Clerk's Office has saved taxpayers more than $4.2 million by returning excess fees to the County, raised $1.2 million in revenue through its Wells Fargo credit card rewards program, and generated $40 million since 2009 through the strong fiscal management of the County's investment portfolio.

BOCC Regular Meeting Tuesday, November 19, 2019 9:00 AM 8. CONSENT AGENDA Chair Bartz noted that item 8.F.3 was pulled from the Consent Agenda. She also noted that regarding item 8.J.3, an email was received that morning from the Presidents Council board of directors (of Hutchinson Island) asking for a single South Hutchinson Island MSTU (with the same combined geographic boundaries) instead of separate East and West MSTUs. Commissioner Hutchinson asked for clarification on the advertising of the public hearing regarding the creation of an MSTU and whether all MSTU options (East MSTU, West MSTU, combined MSTU) could be addressed in a single public hearing. The County Attorney advised that legally each option needed to be advertised as a separate hearing, and that if the Board wanted to consider the Presidents Council's request for a single MSTU, a third public hearing on a combined MSTU would need to be added. The Board directed staff to advertise a third public hearing for a combined (East/West) MSTU. A motion was made to adopt the consent agenda with the addition to item 813 of a third public hearing for a South Hutchinson Island combined MSTU and it passed unanimously.
