r DEC 12 1.834 <br />Boor <br />VFRANK ZORC ADDRESSES COMMISSION RE BEACH RESTORATION <br />59 PeAr oa <br />Mr. Zorc had a few questions as to the actual purpose of <br />next week's meeting between the City Council and the County <br />Commission. <br />Chairman Scurlock stated that his understanding is that the <br />City Council and County Commission will be meeting in a joint <br />session where they can take action; various plans for funding the <br />restoration projects will be presented; and hopefully there will <br />be a commitment to participate and to send a letter to the Corps <br />as to what basis the local share will be made on. Further, he <br />believed consideration will be given to authorizing a beach <br />preservation committee to establish an overall beach management <br />program. As to -the question of public input, the Chairman felt <br />that only reasonable comments presented in a reasonable time <br />frame would be entertained. He asked if any of the Commission <br />members disagreed with his statement. <br />Commissioner Bowman wished clarification of his statement re <br />"participation" as she felt the Board had committed to a straw <br />ballot, and she did not think the public would stand for a change <br />of position on this. <br />Chairman Scurlock noted that each Commissioner will have to <br />make their own decision on this. Because of new facts, new <br />funding formulas, and a new public awareness, he noted that he <br />has indicated he would reconsider his position on a straw ballot. <br />Mr. Zorc stated that it then appears the joint meeting is <br />not to be just a workshop meeting, and the Chairman confirmed <br />that it is to be a regular meeting at which action can be taken, <br />and he would assume some answer will come out of that meeting. <br />Ii STAFF REQUEST FOR DIRECTION RE MAXIMUM DENSITIES FOR MD -2 AREA <br />Planning Director Keating reviewed the following memo: <br />48 <br />J <br />
