PLANS. HE FELT SINCE WE HAVE BEEN GRANTED THIS WINDFALL, WE COULD <br />UTILIZE A PORTION OF IT TO CONTINUE THE HELP THAT COUNTY PLANNING <br />NOW NEEDS TO COMPLETE OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND THEREBY FREE STAFF <br />MEMBERS WHO HAVE BEEN INVOLVED WITH FELLSMERE AND SEBASTIAN SO THEY <br />CAN COMPLETE THOSE PLANS NOW. OUR AGREEMENT WAS THAT WE WOULD HELP <br />THEM UPON COMPLETION OF OUR OWN PLAN, BUT POSSIBLY WE CAN UTILIZE <br />A GOOD PORTION OF THIS ADDITIONAL GRANT TO HELP THEM OUT NOW; IN <br />THIS WAY WE WOULD NOT BE PASSING THE MONIES ON TO THEM DIRECTLY, <br />BUT WOULD MAKE HELP .AVAILABLE TO THEM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. <br />CHAIRMAN SIEBERT FELT THIS IS ACCEPTABLE AS LONG AS IT IS <br />UNDERSTOOD THAT WE ARE NOT MAKING ANY PROMISES. HE CONTINUED THAT <br />IF WE ACCEPT MR. REVERS RECOMMENDATION, WE WILL NEED A MOTION <br />AUTHORIZING HIM TO ACCEPT THE GRANT. <br />COMMISSIONER LYONS ASKED IF WE HAVE TO BE VERY SPECIFIC <br />ABOUT WHAT THE GRANT IS GOING TO BE USED FOR. HE COMMENTED THAT <br />WE HAVE ASKED THE REGIONAL PLANNING COUNCIL FOR A PROPOSAL IN <br />CONNECTION WITH A BARRIER ISLAND STUDY, AND IT MIGHT BE THAT THIS <br />COULD BE FUNDED WELL WITHIN THE AMOUNT OF MONEY INVOLVED. HE BE- <br />LIEVED SUCH A STUDY IS A PART OF TAKING A GOOD HARD LOOK AT THE <br />MASTER PLAN, AND HE DID NOT WANT TO PRECLUDE THE POSSIBILITY THAT <br />WE COULD USE PART OF THESE MONIES FOR THAT PURPOSE. <br />PLANNING DIRECTOR REVER EXPLAINED THAT THE RULES SPECIFY <br />THAT THESE MONIES SHOULD BE USED TO DEVELOP THE ELEMENTS OF THE <br />REQUIRED PLAN AND THEN THEY CAN BE USED TO DEVELOP THE IMPLEMENTATION <br />TOOLS. HE FELT SINCE IT IS THIS SPECIFIC, PERHAPS WE COULD UTILIZE <br />THIS MONEY FOR DOING JUST THAT AND POSSIBLY FREE UP SOME OF THE <br />MONEY WE HAD ALLOTTED TO THIS PREVIOUSLY TO BE USED FOR A BARRIER <br />ISLAND STUDY. IT IS JUST A MATTER OF BOOKKEEPING, BUT HE BELIEVED <br />WE BETTER STICK TO THE RULES, WHICH ARE VERY STRICT. <br />ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER Loy, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER <br />LYONS, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY AUTHORIZED THE CHAIRMAN TO SIGN THE <br />LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE TO THE DEPARTMENT OF.COMMUNITY AFFAIRS, AS <br />FOLLOWS: <br />101. <br />OCT 2 21980 BOOK 45 PAGE101 <br />
