IN FURTHER CONVERSATION, IT WAS NOTED THAT LATERAL "A" WOULD BE PREFERRED BOTH BY THE SCHOOL BOARD AND THE COMMISSION BE- CAUSE IT IS A MORE DIRECT ROUTE, BUT IT APPEARS WE HAVE MORE OPPORTUNITY TO OBTAIN THE RIGHT-OF-WAY ALONG POWERLINE ROAD. THE COST OF PAVING EITHER ROAD IS ABOUT THE SAME ALTHOUGH LATERAL "A WOULD REQUIRE MORE CLEARING. MOTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIONER SCURLOCK, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER FLETCHER, TO PROCEED WITH THE SURVEY NECESSARY TO IDENTIFY THE RIGHT-OF-WAY ON POWERLINE ROAD. DISCUSSION ENSUED AS TO PRIORITIES, THE NEWLY ESTABLISHED TRANSPORTATION PLANNING COMMITTEE, THE RIGHT TO APPEAL A RECLASSIFI- CATION OF ROADS BY THE D.O.T., ETC. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. IT WAS VOTED ON AND CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. COMMISSIONER SCURLOCK REPORTED THAT THERE WAS A VERY FIRM CONSENSUS IN REGARD TO THE PARTIAL CENT OPTIONAL SALES TAX NOT TO COMPROMISE, BUT TO HAVE LOCAL OPTION WITHOUT A REFERENDUM. HE HOPED A COALITION COULD BE FORMED BETWEEN THE FLORIDA LEAGUE OF CITIES AND THE S.A.C.C. TO PURSUE THIS MATTER. COMMISSIONER SCURLOCK FELT ANOTHER VERY IMPORTANT BIT OF INFORMATION GAINED AT THE MEETING WAS THE FACT THAT THERE IS AN APPEAL PROCESS AS TO THE RECLASSIFICATION OF ROADS BY THE D.O.T. DISCUSSION FOLLOWED ON THE ADDITIONAL MILEAGE BEING ADDED EVERY YEAR FOR THE COUNTY TO MAINTAIN WITHOUT ADDITIONAL FUNDING AND THE NEED TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. COMMISSIONER SCURLOCK THEN TALKED ABOUT THE MEETING ON WATER AND THE FACT THAT WE ARE NOT RECHARGED FROM GEORGIA BUT FROM ORANGE COUNTY. COMMISSIONER FLETCHER REPORTED THAT THEY HAVE LEARNED THAT THE DEEP WATER AQUIFER ON THE BARRIER ISLAND IS NOT RECHARGEABLE, AND SOME OF THE OLD WELLS ARE FREE FLOWING AND SHOULD BE RECAPPED, WHICH WOULD ADD A VAST NUMBER OF YEARS TO THE LIFE OF THE AQUIFER. THESE WELLS ARE IN THE MOSQUITO IMPOUNDMENTS.
