TO: The Honorable Members DATE: September 11, 1984FILE: of the Board of County Commissioners UPDATE ON THE STATUS OF THE HUTCHINSON ISLAND SUBJECT: RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN FROM: Robert M. Keating, AICP4EFERENCES: Update/Hutchinson Planning & Development Director DIS:RMK It is recommended that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissionersat their regular meeting of September 19, 1984. DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS: On October 6, 1983, the Hutchinson Island Resource Management Committee formally adopted the Hutchinson Island Resource Planning and Management Plan. The Governor and Cabinet, sitting as the Administration Commission, took similar action On November 29, 1983, adopting the plan by resolution. Subse- quent to adoption of the plan by the Administration Commission, the plan became effective in the three county study area. As part of the joint resolution of the Governor and Cabinet adopting the Hutchinson Island Plan, it was noted that the Department of Community Affairs would monitor the actions taken by state agencies and local governments towards implementing the plan during the initial nine month period and report to the Cabinet in August, 1984 on their progress. Since that initial nine month period has ended, the Department of Community Affairs has requested information from local governments in the study area as to actions- taken to implement the adopted Hutchinson Island Resource Management Plan. Like the other local governments in the study area, Indian River County has been requested to provide the Department of Community Affairs with a statement of actions taken to imple- ment the plan along with appropriate supporting documentation. As requested by the state, the County prepared its implementa- tion statement in matrix form and submitted it to Tallahassee. Subsequent to that submittal, County staff met with staff from the Department of Community Affairs to discuss the County's success in implementing the approved plan. At that time, the state informally informed the County staff that it appeared that the County had performed adequately in implementing the policies of the plan. ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS: Now that the Department of Community Affairs staff has reviewed the implementation activities of the local governments, it is the state staff's responsibility to prepare a written assess- ment for the Hutchinson Island Resource Planning and Management Committee. The state must also prepare a recommendation for the committee in relation to action to be taken at the commit- tee meeting scheduled for September 27, 1984. The alternatives available to the committee include: finding that all local governments in the study area have adequately implemented the 74 SEP 19 1984 BOOK58 FACE'
