Box 2380 <br />Vero Peach, FL 32960 <br />Dear Representative Patchett: <br />On behalf of the 67 member counties of the State Association of <br />County Commissioners of Florida, I would like to thank you for the outs-._andinc <br />leadership you displayed on resource management issues during the recent session <br />of the Florida Legislature. <br />As Chairman of the Subcommittee on Ehvironmrntal Permitting and <br />Protection of the House Natural Resources Committee, your personal leadership <br />in guiduZg to successful passage legislation restructuring Florida's 11 Regional <br />Planning Councils (HB -1452) and streamlining the development of -regional i=act <br />environmental permitting process (HB -1422) is sincerely appreciated. The passage <br />of these two bills will ensure a more efficient and effective administration of <br />the natural resource programs and policies for which our State has been recog- <br />nized throughout the Nation. <br />At our recent Board of Directors' meeting, your personal efforts on <br />behalf of local government issues concerning these two bills were summarized <br />by our staff and were recognized as instrumental in helping our Association <br />move in the direction of achieving our legislative objectives. l\ssociation staff <br />has also informed ;re that, throughout the legislative process, the various con- <br />cerns and perspectives of local government officials were more than adequately <br />represented as a result of the leadership which you displayed from the Chair. <br />We are particularly appreciative of your leadership on the floor of the House <br />of Representatives during the last days of the session when you assisted us in <br />defeating a number of amendments to the DRI bill which would have diminished <br />local government home rule decision making in the area of land use, zoning and <br />licensing. <br />Again, we in county government thank you for the leadership you are <br />showing and look forward to ,,corking with you in the future. <br />Sincerely, <br />earl .Lancaster <br />President <br />4 A.
