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