The Chairman called a recess at 10: 40 a.m. and reconvened the meeting at 10:50 <br />a.m., with all members present. <br />Charlene Brown, 5145 66th Avenue, believed that the payback from the FDOT <br />from SR60 should be put into the purchase of right-of-way. <br />Administrator Baird acknowledged that the residents on 66th Avenue were <br />unhappy with the amount of funding budgeted for the acquisitions on their road, and reiterated <br />that the plan could be changed; the Board could direct administration to work on other avenues <br />of funding for the project, if it so desired. <br />Joseph Paladin, President Black Swan Consulting, cautioned the Board to be sure <br />that any changes in the design to 43rd Avenue would maintain concurrency, noting that when the <br />project had been designed, the residents had been promised an 80 foot right-of-way. He also <br />advised amending the LDR's to permit shifting funds back and forth between Districts. <br />Ms. Stanbridge, 4835 66th Avenue, suggested that the Board be provided with <br />updates on the County road projects every thirty days, rather than every three months, as <br />suggested earlier by Administrator Baird. <br />A brief discussion ensued among Commissioners and staff regarding the optional <br />sales tax and the gas tax. <br />Ms. George opposed any additional taxation. <br />There were no additional speakers, and the Chairman closed the public hearing. <br />Director Brown clarified for Commissioner Wheeler the total amount available, <br />and the total amount required, for road projects. <br />26 <br />November 18, 2008 <br />
