suggest to his board that they delay giving any endorsement or <br />opposition to this matter until we see what happens specifically. <br />Chairman Lyons appreciated Mr. Davis' concern, but stated he <br />was inclined to agree with Attorney Barkett on this matter. <br />Commissioner Scurlock did not feel there was a Commissioner <br />here today that would agree to giving away public lands. <br />Attorney Barkett suggested that we rephrase the resolution <br />and insert "sovereignty" to protect the lands below navigable <br />waters. <br />Commissioner Wodtke wished this matter had been on the <br />Agenda a couple of weeks ago since 20-30 organizations are <br />opposed to the amendment. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED <br />by Commissioner Wodtke, that the Board take no <br />action on either position presented today on this <br />in-depth issue and wait to see what happens as it <br />proceeds through the Legislature. <br />Under discussion, Commissioner Scurlock felt the Commission <br />did not want to give the impression that we are willing to give <br />away our sovereign lands, and he would like to see some request <br />given with respect to that. <br />Commissioner Bowman pointed out that the proposed Resolution <br />simply asks the the Governor and Cabinet to exercise the utmost <br />haste and diligence to prevent the future utilization of the <br />title act to divest the state of sovereign lands held in the name <br />of the State of Florida. <br />THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. The Motion <br />was voted on and carried 3-2, with Chairman Lyons <br />and Commissioner Bowman dissenting. <br />90 <br />S E P 18 1995 <br />BOOK �� F�G��,'J <br />
