y <br />BOOK 6 3 PAG; <br />Florida East Coast Chapter <br />The Associated General Contractors of America, Inc. <br />2617 Australian Avenue <br />West Palm Beach, Florida 33407 <br />Telephone: (305 <br />Please reply to: <br />February 5, <br />MEMO <br />TO: ALL COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br />FROM: JIM READ, EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT <br />RE: INFRASTRUCTURE TASK FORCE COMMITTEE <br />2770 North Indian giver Boulevard <br />Suite 324 <br />Vero Beach, Florida 32960 <br />Telephone: (305) 778-1325 <br />Recently I sent a letter to the Chairman of your county's Board <br />of Commissioners. This letter briefly described the plight of our nation's <br />infrastructure (i.e. road systems, mass transit, wastewater, water resources, <br />airports, etc.) <br />As County Commissioners, I wanted to supply you with copies of an <br />in—depth study of our nation's infrastructure. Many of the larger counties <br />within Florida (i.e. Palm Beach County) have established an infrastructure <br />task force committee which evaluates local infrastructure needs and proposes <br />possible solutions. This committee is appointed by the Board of County <br />Commissioners after receiving nominations from the public. <br />I would like to discuss in more detail the composition of this committee <br />and how it can help you. Please contact me at your earliest convenience. <br />Thank you. <br />Chairman Scurlock was not sure just how we want to approach <br />this. He noted that we have existing committees already <br />structured such as the Transportation Planning Committee, which <br />does have broad representation, and its meetings are open to the <br />public. We do not have a committee in the utilities area, but <br />the Chairman noted that he acts as liaison between utilities and <br />the Commission. He further noted that he did not want to insult <br />the people on the Transportation Planning Committee by having an <br />override on all their recommendations. He believed what they <br />actually are looking for is a heavily weighted real estate and <br />construction oriented group. <br />Commissioner Lyons wondered if the Economic Development <br />Council might not have a suggestion in this regard. <br />58 <br />
