D E C 1984 BOOK <br />INDIAN RIVER COUNTY LEGISLATIVE DELEGATION MEETING <br />59 Fri^C� <br />Attorney Brandenburg noted that we have the opportunity to <br />bring matters to the attention of our Legislative Delegation, <br />when they meet on January 24th, and wished to know if the Board <br />had anything they would like presented at that time.

Secondly, if we are not as successful on the 18th re <br />the barrier island designation as we feel we need to be, perhaps <br />we might want to ask the Legislative Delegation for their help in <br />that regard.
