NOV 19 1980 BOOK 45 PAGE 249 K CHAIRMAN LYONS SUGGESTED THAT IT BE ADDED TO THE AGENDA FOR INFORMATION - THEN IT CAN BE DECIDED WHETHER THE BOARD SHOULD TAKE ANY ACTION. HE CONTINUED THAT THIS MATTER WAS A VERY CONTROVERSIAL THING REGARDING COUNTRY CLUB POINTE, AND HE DID NOT WANT IT TO LOOK AS THOUGH THE BOARD HAD GONE AHEAD WITHOUT GIVING SUFFICIENT NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC. COMMISSIONER SCURLOCK STATED HE WOULD APPROVE THE ADDITION TO THE AGENDA, IF IT WAS FOR INFORMATION ONLY. COMMISSIONER FLETCHER STATED HE WOULD ADD IT ONLY IF IT WAS A DISCUSSION ITEM, BUT NOT FOR THE BOARD TO MAKE A DECISION. CHAIRMAN LYONS STATED IT WAS PRETTY MUCH THE PRACTICE OF THE BOARD THAT NOTHING IS ADDED TO THE AGENDA UNLESS THERE IS AN EMERGENCY ITEM. ADMINISTRATOR NELSON STATED THAT, BASED ON THE DISCUSSION, HE WOULD CALL REYNOLDS, SMITH AND HILLS AND TELL THEM TO STOP ALL ACTION ON THIS PROJECT UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. CHAIRMAN LYONS COMMENTED THAT THE ADMINISTRATOR MIGHT TELL THEM THAT THEIR LETTER CAME IN TOO LATE FOR CONSIDERATION AT THIS MEETING. CHAIRMAN LYONS REQUESTED ADDING AN EMERGENCY ITEM IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT BY FLORIDA LAND COMPANY ON THE NORTH PART OF THE BARRIER ISLAND. HE CONTINUED THAT THERE WERE SOME PROBLEMS THAT NEEDED CONSIDERATION BY THE BOARD, AND SUGGESTED ADDING THIS EMERGENCY ITEM AS ITEM SA, AFTER MR. SHANNON'S ITEM. COMMISSIONER WODTKE ASKED WHAT THE NATURE OF THIS EMERGENCY ITEM WOULD BE. CHAIRMAN LYONS ADVISED THAT THE COUNTY WAS BEING THREATENED WITH A LAW SUIT. DISCUSSION FOLLOWED ABOUT WHETHER A REPRESENTATIVE OF FLORIDA LAND COMPANY WOULD BE PRESENT, AND COMMISSIONER SCURLOCK NOTED THAT IF THERE WAS GOING TO BE A VOTE TAKEN WITHOUT FLORIDA LAND COMPANY BEING REPRESENTED, THEN HE WOULD VOTE IN OPPOSITION TO THE ADDITION TO THE AGENDA; IF THE ITEM WOULD BE ADDED JUST FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES, HE WOULD AGREE TO IT. 4
