rOK 5 n� � <br />NOVN OV 3 1982 1 f�}�, x.54 <br />recommending any funding at this time, but just providing <br />some estimates to give the Board a feeling for what is <br />involved. Mr. Davis did feel that securing the needed <br />easements is very important. <br />Discussion ensured regarding funding and the fact that <br />possibly 50% of this area is in the City of Sebastian. It <br />was felt that we should get the City to agree to Alternative <br />Three: and hopefully secure needed easements in the <br />meantime. <br />Mr. Davis indicated that he has had some negative <br />responses re the donation of easements.* He also noted that <br />he has sent the City of Sebastian the report and requested <br />comments, but so far has not received any. <br />Commissioner Fletcher felt there is an opportunity to <br />gain some of the needed easements right now; he believed 90% <br />of them are attainable and felt we should pursue this, but <br />wished to know if securing the easements obligates us to <br />proceed. <br />Attorney Brandenburg stated that there would be no <br />obligation unless at the time the Board obtains the <br />easement, they promise the property owner they will dig the <br />canal; if they simply state that the easements are needed, <br />for some time in the future, there is no obligation. <br />Commissioner Bird pointed out that the easements do not <br />match up on all the alternatives; so, we need to determine <br />which way we want to go. <br />Chairman Scurlock believed we need to authorize someone <br />to talk to the City of Sebastian. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED <br />by Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously <br />authorized Commissioner Fletcher and staff to <br />discuss this matter with the City of Sebastian <br />as discussed above. <br />� � r <br />
