the plan is at a draft stage and has not yet been reviewed <br />by the full committee. Any proposed amendments would be <br />voted on at the Committee's June 2nd meeting at Indian River <br />Community College. Mr. King next reviewed the material in <br />his May 18th memo discussing policies that might require <br />some amendment or modification of the County's Comprehensive <br />Plan. <br />Administrator Wright wished to know why'we would be <br />required to amend our plan. <br />Sam Shannon of the Treasure Coast Regional Planning <br />Council explained the process whereby the committee is <br />established and then develops a report which contains a <br />management plan requiring certain kinds of implementation. <br />This report is sent to the Governor and Cabinet, and if they <br />concur with the management plan, then it will be the <br />responsibility of the local governments to amend their plans <br />to be in conformance or the state basically will take over <br />the implementation. <br />Discussion ensued regarding the fact that this would <br />not apply unless an area were actually designated an area of <br />critical concern, and Mr. Shannon noted that the Governor <br />and Cabinet can designate areas of critical concern but that <br />designation does not go into effect until the Legislature <br />has an opportunity to review their action. It will go into <br />effect, however, unless the Legislature takes action to deny <br />it. <br />Mr. King believed local governments would have about <br />six months to implement any requirements locally. At the <br />end of six months, their progress would be reviewed and <br />evaluated by the Department of Community Affairs, and if <br />significant progress had been made, that particular area <br />would not be recommended to the Governor as an area of <br />critical concern. <br />57 <br />4• I <br />
