10. COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S MATTERS - NONE <br />11. DEPARTMENTAL MATTERS <br />II.A. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT <br />II.A. I. CONSIDERATION OF A PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION <br />RECOMMENDATION THAT THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br />RECOMMEND THAT THE STATE REVISE ITS PROCEDURE FOR <br />DISPOSING OF CONSERVATION LANDS <br />Director Boling reminded the Board that at the September 27, 2007 meeting, the <br />P&Z discussed the Sand Lakes Tract, owned by St. Johns River Water Management District <br />(SJRWMD). At that discussion, P&Z member Dr. Richard Baker used the Sand Lakes situation as <br />an example of conservation lands owned by the State and its districts and agencies. The idea was <br />brought up that if the State was going to dispose of conservation lands they should give the local <br />government (in whose jurisdiction those lands reside) a right of first refusal to acquire the <br />property. He said P&Z was recommending that the Board ask the State Legislative Delegation to <br />initiate legislation to put such a policy in place. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner O'Bryan, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Flescher, the Board by a 4-0 vote (Chairman <br />Wheeler absent) instructed the County Attorney's office to <br />draft a Resolution supporting staff's recommendation to <br />give local governments a right -of -first refusal to purchase <br />conservation lands that are being considered for disposal. <br />November 6, 2007 36 <br />
