meetings to talk about a more formalized economic development and they expect it to put them on <br />the map from a national and international standpoint. Instead of being called the “Treasure Coast” <br />they are now called the “Research Coast” to make everyone understand what they are trying to do <br />as far as business retention, recruitment, marketing and promotion. They hope to finalize this in <br />September. <br />SLC Administrator Doug Anderson added they have 1800 acres in partnership with <br />the University of Florida and a master plan is underway. Some acres have utilities. Senator Pruitt <br />proposed a referendum for this plan that will generate $5,000,000 per year. <br /> <br />13.QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS FROM BOARD MEMBERS <br /> <br />SLC Commissioner Joseph Smith addressed the idea of workforce housing <br />(medium priced housing in SLC is $194,000). He inquired if IRC was also having trouble with <br />housing teachers and police with the low salaries they make. Chairman Lowther responded that <br />they have over 200,000 medium priced houses. <br />Commissioner Wheeler expressed concerns on how SLC will handle some of the <br />developments they have approved outside the urban service area. <br />Chairman Hutchinson responded that the projects they have in progress are being <br />looked at very closely and a format is currently being devised. She suggested holding joint <br />meetings bi-annually or quarterly. She wanted to execute an interlocal agreement to make sure <br />information is shared and to guarantee to continue working together on these issues. She agreed <br />with Commissioner Coward’s idea of starting a regional organization relating to economic <br />development and suggested this be a priority agenda item for their next meeting. She also wanted <br />to obtain additional funding from the State and Federal governments for the library program. She <br />recommended adopting a Resolution asking FEMA to expedite funding for damages from <br />Hurricane Frances and Jeanne. (Subsequently IRC adopted Resolution 2005-014) <br />Chairman Lowther agreed. <br />January 31, 2005 <br />9 <br />Growth & Development Issues Workshop <br /> <br /> <br />
