FF"-- <br />JUL 17 1985 <br />BOOK 61 FAGF 541 <br />i <br />approximately one-half of the work on the Vero Beach portion, and <br />this actually involves only three miles out of the County's 24 <br />miles of shoreline. However, the Governor's Task Force <br />Committee, of which he is a member, recognizes that Indian River <br />County has 6-7 miles of severely eroded shoreline. In addition <br />to addressing the severely eroded portion of shoreline, Dr. Edge <br />stated that Cubit Engineering would like to develop a plan on how <br />the County should address the shoreline that is not critically <br />eroded as yet. <br />-Commissioner Scurlock understood that this project would <br />take eight months and, without additional services, would cost <br />$97,411.
