13.B. VICE CHAIRMAN ARTHUR R. NEUBERGER – ST. JOHNS <br />RIVER ALLIANCE FISCAL YEAR 2005 FUNDING <br />Vice Chairman Neuberger reported he had attended a couple meetings of the St. <br />Johns River Alliance. He reviewed their memorandum in the backup dated July 2, 2004 advising <br />of funding needed for FY 2005 that included a request of $2,500 from Indian River County as our <br />share to keep the Alliance going. <br />Vice Chairman Neuberger responded to questions from Commissioner Adams that <br />he was satisfied with what he saw being done. This is strictly a volunteer organization, except for <br />their executive director, and is made up of about 12 cities and counties up and down the St. Johns <br />River. They are just getting organized, are trying to give some input to the Sebastian Inlet Water <br />Management District on a variety of matters, want to make proposals to the St. Johns and see if <br />they can push some projects through. <br />Commissioner Adams noted that one of the initial concerns about the Alliance was a <br />possibility of adding another tier of government. <br />Vice Chairman Neuberger thought they were mostly involved in the organization <br />and the recommendations from the eleven political bodies. <br />Commissioner Macht thought it was kind of important that we share with counties <br />where we have a mutuality of interests. If it does not work out, we can just not do it next year. <br /> <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Macht, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Adams, the Board unanimously (4-0, <br />Chairman Ginn absent) approved a contribution of $2,500 <br />to the St. Johns River Alliance for FY 2004/2005 funding. <br /> <br />13.C. COMMISSIONER FRAN B. ADAMS <br />None. <br /> <br />July 20, 2004 <br />39 <br /> <br />
