He noted that parks <br />and recreation in the County are supported by the General <br />Fund, and he would have no trouble with the County bearing a <br />share of the cost for the public lands that are involved and <br />have the monies come out of the General Fund. <br />Chairman Bird expressed his support of the Beach <br />Nourishment Project if we can find a fair and equitable way <br />of funding and suggested a funding workshop be held jointly <br />with the City of Vero Beach. <br />Commissioner Fletcher appreciated the other commis- <br />sioner's views on renourishment, but did not believe the <br />method proposed by the Corps of Engineers is the only <br />alternative or the correct one. He saw no point in repeat- <br />ing a process that would not be permanent and believed a <br />submerged breakwater would be a better solution than <br />pumping. He further felt we have adequate beach and that to <br />anticipate losing our beaches is not a valid belief. <br />Commissioner Wodtke did not agree. He felt our beaches <br />are disappearing and we must do something about it. He <br />noted if the City Council were the one who had to be the <br />sponsor, it would be a much easier situation, and he felt <br />possibly we should scrap the current beach committee and <br />form a new bipartisan committee to work out funding methods. <br />M M r <br />
