ENGINEER ROBBINS CONTINUED THAT IN ORDER TO GO FOR THE EPA FUNDING, WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO SUBMIT A STEP 2 GRANT APPLICATION, AND HIS FIRM IS PREPARED TO DO THIS VERY QUICKLY AND WILL SUBMIT A PROPOSAL. COMMISSIONER FLETCHER ASKED ABOUT THE RESOLUTION BEING DISCUSSED, AND ENGINEER ROBBINS PRESENTED HIM WITH A COPY OF THE COUNTY RESOLUTION TO REVIEW. ENGINEER ROBBINS EXPLAINED THAT THE MUNICIPALITIES WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE INDICATED THEIR SUPPORT OF THE 201 PLAN THROUFH THEIR TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEMBER AND WERE TO ISSUE THEIR RESOLUTIONS AFTER THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS HELD. SINCE THE TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE DISSIPATED, HOWEVER, THEY HAVE TAKEN NO FURTHER ACTION. DISCUSSION FOLLOWED ON SETTING UP A MEETING WITH THE MUNICI- PALITIES TO BRING THEM UP TO DATE ON THE 201 PLAN AND POSSIBLY REACTI- VATING THE 201 TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE. COMMISSIONER SCURLOCK POINTED OUT THAT THE CITY OF VERO BEACH IS INVOLVED IN ELECTIONS AT THIS TIME AND PRESENTLY HAS ONLY A THREE MAN COUNCIL, HE EMPHASIZED THERE WOULD NOT BE TIME BEFORE .JANUARY TO GO THROUGH THE TAC AND THEN HAVE THE MUNICIPALITIES TAKE ACTION.

ENGINEER ROBBINS AGREED WITH THE ADMINISTRATOR'S SUGGESTION AND OFFERED TO FOLLOW UP SUCH A LETTER WITH A PHONE CALL OR PERSONALLY DELIVER THE LETTER AND CO OVER THE SITUATION WITH THEM.
