<br />Commissioner Davis <br /> said a good example was the Oslo Boat ramp, which is in an <br />environmentally sensitive area and has a desperate need for a boat ramp. This needs to be brought <br />to the attention of the Florida Association of Counties, he commented. <br /> <br />Representative Poppell <br /> disclosed that a part of that was discussed this past Session. He <br />discussed the need to be on an equitable basis so other counties do not go out and start other <br />projects, which would tie-up funds and limit the number of projects over the next two or three <br />years. <br /> <br />Director Crawford <br /> responded that the counterpoint to that is when people submit Grants <br />and it is a competitive grant program. When the State staff evaluates the projects, they are not <br />looking to see where it came from, so everyone is competing statewide for the programs. <br /> <br />Administrator Baird <br /> had always wondered, that with the State’s discretionary money, if <br />they could not be more equitable for all counties. He believed there should be more equitable <br />formulas, as there seemed to be more discretionary money at the State level than at the local level. <br /> <br /> <br />9. SENATE BILL 360/ROAD CONCURRENCY <br /> <br />Bob Keating, <br /> Indian River County Community Development Director, through a <br />PowerPoint presentation, explained Indian River County’s position in regards to adopting the <br />Proportionate Fair Share Ordinance pursuant to Senate Bill 360 (SB 360). He stated that one of the <br />provisions of the Bill is to provide a mechanism for development projects to achieve concurrency <br />when there are deficient roadways, which is the proportionate share requirement. Also, all local <br />governments are required to adopt a Proportionate Share Ordinance by December 1, 2006 and <br />Indian River’s was adopted in the Spring of 2006. <br />October 25, 2006 <br />13 <br /> <br />Joint Workshop / Brevard <br /> <br />
