REPORT ON TRANSPORTATION PLANNING COMMITTEE Vice Chairman Wodtke reported on the meeting of the Transportation Planning Committee, stating that while they had a good showing of the technical people, unfortunately he, Mr. Lindsey, and Mr. Barton were the only voting members present so they could take no action. He noted that Mr. Lindsey expressed great concern about how we would be approaching 16th Street since his primary concern was the protection of the students -and not the moving of intercounty traffic. The Vice Chairman reported that they did set up a regular meeting for the second Tuesday of each month to be held at 10:00 A.M. at the County Garage, and they will always have an agenda item for public input. Commissioner Fletcher inquired about the Fellsmere appointee, and Vice Chairman Wodtke-stated that he had received a letter from the Town of Orchid which basically said George Lier has been appointed representative, but he believed Mrs. Lier has agreed to be the representative. He continued that he had received a letter from the City of Fellsmere appointing Richard Romans as their representative, even though Mr. Romans is not an elected or appointed official as required by the Resolution. Discussion ensued as to the necessity for the representative from Fellsmere to be a member of the Fellsmere Council, and Attorney Collins commented that when you interpret documents, the more specific controls, but,he felt the practical controls, too, and he asked if the Board wished to be strict in their interpretation of the Resolution or just accept the designee from Fellsmere. Vice Chairman Wodtke commented that it had been the intention that the representatives would be elected officials who would be able to go back and answer to their people and be in a decision making position. He stated that he understood Fellsmere's problem, but wished to know in the event we do allow this appointment whether Mr. Romans will be able to vote. 51 �GOK 8 Pn, 81?
