Commissioner Solari supported the project, the lease, and the location, but had concerns <br />over what was considered a "picnic pavilion" and a "nature trail," and that this would not fulfill <br />the County's obligations. <br />Environmental and Code Enforcement Chief Roland DeBlois affirmed for Commissioner <br />O'Bryan that the Florida Communities Trust (FCT) staff had reviewed the proposal, and that <br />they would be willing to work with the County to ensure this project fulfills County obligations. <br />Commissioner O'Bryan felt that in the spirit of making this a joint project, which could <br />save money and time, that maybe a multi -parking project could be established (for this project <br />and the boat ramp parking project) by using the pro bono volunteers. <br />Administrator Baird wanted to know how much money this project would require from <br />the County since it had not been budgeted, and Dr. Baker reiterated that it would cost the County <br />about $86,000.00 for the driveway and boardwalk. Thereafter, the Administrator wanted <br />clarification regarding the additional parking for the boat ramp and whether it should be <br />incorporated into a recommendation when it returns to the Board. Vice Chairman Flescher <br />suggested it be looked at as "paved" and "unpaved" scenarios. <br />Vice Chairman Flescher clarified for Administrator Baird that his Motion was for the <br />Administrator to "evaluate" the budget and bring it back to the Board. He felt there were many <br />opportunities for other funding sources and that is why he directed staff to identify the funding <br />sources, not to increase the burden of the taxpayer. <br />Bob Johnson, Coral Wind Subdivision opposed the proposed joint project. <br />7 <br />September 22, 2009 <br />
