Rene Renzi, Waverly Place, questioned whether this pipeline would increase the <br />availability of natural gas for private residences. <br />Rachael Scott, Florida Power and Light Environmental Services Department, told Ms. <br />Renzi that the project is intended to serve as their plant generation of electricity, and that it <br />would not offer residential distribution. <br />Commissioner Solari supported this project, stating that it would bring another natural <br />gas line down the State making FPL more competitive, that natural gas is cleaner than the City's <br />alternative of coal; and that once this project is in place it would bring in about $1,000,000 per <br />year in taxes for the County. <br />The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and the <br />Motion carried. The Board unanimously: (1) determined <br />there was no need for a certification hearing or optional <br />information meeting to be held in Indian River County; <br />(2) concurred with staff's draft preliminary statement of <br />issues and recommended conditions of certification; and <br />(3) set January 19, 2010 as the date the Board will <br />consider a draft issues report on project impacts at its <br />regular meeting, as recommended in the memorandum of <br />September 11, 2009. <br />The Chairman called a break at 12:04 p.m., and reconvened the meeting at 12:35 p.m., <br />with all members present. <br />29 <br />September 22, 2009 <br />
