October 17, 1979 The Honorable William C. Wodtke, Jr. Chairman, Board of County Commissioners 2145 14th Avenue Vero Beach, Florida 32960 �, Dear Chain .fi_i---ILdtke Ile have had some indication that a movement is on foot to change the membership status of the Regional Planning Councils and also to change some of their functions. As a multi -term member of the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council, first as a municipal repre- sentative and now as a county's representative, I am strongly convinced that membership should be limited to elected officials. The council represents the only effective vehicle for handling matters of regional concern and, as we continue to grow, we will have more and more of such matters. Attached is a policy statement of the Florida Regional Councils Association which was promulgated September 14, 1979. I strongly endorse this policy statement. In my opinion, it would be most helpful to this county and this region, if the Commission would endorse this policy statement. An endorsement which contains the first four paragraphs of the policy state- ment would be ample. I would appreciate your sending your endorsement to Mr. Sam Shannon, Director, Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council, P.O. Box 2395, Stuart, Florida 33494, with a copy to Repre- sentative R. Dale Patchett and to me. It would also be help- ful to us if you would indicate any other destinations for your endorsement. I believe this matter is of extreme importance and I would appreciate your assistance. Sincerely, j PA XA B.
