WORK WITH THEM, AND HE STATED THAT UNLESS THE BOARD HAD SOME OBJEC- TION, HE WOULD SUGGEST THAT OUR INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATOR, L.S. "TOMMY" THOMAS FILL THIS POSITION BECAUSE HE HAS BEEN INVOLVED WITH THE COUNTY PARKS, BOAT LAUNCHING RAMPS, ETC. THE BOARD HAD NO OBJECTION. RESIGNATION OF COMMISSIONER FLETCHER FROM THE TREASURE COAST REGIONAL PLANNING COUNCIL CHAIRMAN LYONS COMMENTED THAT THIS IS A DELICATE MATTER, AND HE HOPED THAT COMMISSIONER FLETCHER WOULD UNDERSTAND THE COUNTY'S POSITION. HE CONTINUED THAT IT HAD COME TO HIS ATTENTION THAT COMMISSIONER FLETCHER, AS A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE COUNTY TO THE TREASURE COAST REGIONAL PLANNING COUNCIL, HAD VOTED AGAINST A MOTION WHICH HAD BEEN APPROVED PREVIOUSLY BY A MAJORITY VOTE OF THE BOARD. THE CHAIRMAN NOTED THAT COMMISSIONER FLETCHER, OF COURSE, HAS A PERFECT RIGHT TO VOTE AS HE WISHES AT THE BOARD MEETINGS, BUT AS A COUNTY REPRESENTATIVE, HE WOULD BE EXPECTED TO VOTE AS THE MAJORITY HAS VOTED. COMMISSIONER SCURLOCK COMMENTED THAT HE HAD BEEN PUT IN A SIMILAR POSITION SEVERAL TIMES WHEN HE WAS A MEMBER OF THE CITY COUNCIL, AND HE HOPED THAT MR. FLETCHER COULD LOOK AT THIS OBJECTIVELY. COMMISSIONER FLETCHER STATED THAT HE HAD NOT VIEWED THE SITUATION IN THAT MANNER, AND ALTHOUGH HE COULD UNDERSTAND THE COUNTY'S VIEWPOINT, HE WOULD HAVE TO RETHINK HIS POSITION. HE CONTINUED THAT HE DID NOT WISH TO BE PUT IN THE POSITION OF COMPROMISING HIS OWN PERSONAL FEELINGS, AND HE, THEREFORE, WOULD RESIGN HIS POSITION AS A REPRESENTATIVE ON THE REGIONAL PLANNING COUNCIL. CHAIRMAN LYONS INFORMED THE BOARD THAT MARILYN CHENNAULT WAS APPOINTED TO THE ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES COUNCIL BOARD OF DIRECTORS, BUT SHE HAS NEVER ATTENDED ONE MEETING. HE, THEREFORE, FELT SHE SHOULD BE REPLACED AND ASKED THAT SOME SUGGESTIONS BE SUBMITTED TO BE CONSIDERED AT THE NEXT MEETING. C 311980 �aa�c �°�� ' �-574 A�� DEC 57
