MAy 2 5 1993 arc - PipE 59 governments. She informed the Board that Vero Beach intends to go down on June 2nd to the college to lobby and try to convince the Martin and St. Lucie County people to totally remove Vero Beach from this study. Mayor Cain believed once we are in and the plan is passed, we will never get out of it. She urged the county to join with the City and lobby to be removed from the committee. Al MacAdam of the Town of Indian River Shores wished to bring to the Board's attention a sentence from a letter written by the secretary of the Hutchinson Island Planning & Resource Management Committee: "Your input is critical since the Management Plan adopted by the Committee will establish what action should be taken by local government and ultimately whether any or all of the study area should be declared an area of critical concern." Chairman Bird asked if the Town of Indian River Shores wished to join the City of Vero Beach in their stand, and Mr. MacAdam reported that the Town Council meets tomorrow and this will be discussed. He concurred that we should never have been made part of this and was in favor of pursuing the.move to be removed from the committee as not being an area of critical concern. Chairman Bird felt the Motion would be more in order to make our appeal to the committee and this also would be more in line with the position of Vero Beach. Commissioner Wodtke had no objection to that. Commissioner Scurlock felt strongly that if we are going to lobby anyone, it should be the Governor. Discussion continued as to whether the committee has the power to delete Indian River County from the restrictions of the final approved plan, and Mr. Shannon stated that they have the ability to make a recommendation that an area not be considered for designation as an area of critical concern. 22
