Commissioner Lyons felt that it is important that the <br />North County have some representation on that advisory <br />committee and suggested that this appointment be delayed <br />until a Commissioner is appointed to replace Mr. Fletcher. <br />The Board agreed to defer this appointment. <br />SEBASTIAN INLET PARR <br />Chairman Bird reported that he had a meeting with <br />Representative Dale Patchett, Attorney Brandenburg, Com- <br />munity Services Director Thomas, and other concerned <br />citizens, to address the fact that there are a multitude of <br />improvements being made on the Brevard County side of the <br />Sebastian Inlet State"Park-and very few on the Indian <br />River side, and to further aggravate the situation, the <br />State now is starting to enforce rules that are very unpopu- <br />lar with some of our residents, i.e., limiting hours, <br />charging fees, and causing people to leave certain areas if <br />they are not actively fishing. The Chairman believed <br />tempers are getting rather short up there. He informed the <br />Board that Representative Patchett has scheduled a meeting <br />with officials of the Department of Natural Resources in <br />Tallahassee, on February 28th, and he felt it would be <br />beneficial if representatives of the county could accompany <br />him to meet with officials of the DNR to discuss this <br />situation. <br />Attorney Brandenburg informed the Board that the <br />Special Warranty Deed the County gave to the State granting <br />the 17 acres of park property at the Inlet spelled out very <br />clearly that there was to be free access 24 hours a day and <br />no fees charged for any use. He noted that the state <br />currently is charging a fee for the campgrounds, and,there <br />are a lot of questions about whether the State is living up <br />to its commitments. <br />FEB 16 1983 <br />59 <br />As 847' <br />
