I7 <br />Commissioner Wodtke emphasized that there was not sufficient <br />time to submit this to the Board for formal approval, but he <br />would like <br />to give it to <br />them <br />now <br />and put it on <br />the agenda <br />for <br />next week. <br />He explained <br />that <br />it <br />is an initial <br />request for <br />us to <br />form a strategic plan, do some market analysis, and get all data <br />available in the county and municipalities. The City of Vero <br />Beach has appointed Ken Macht as their representative. Commis- <br />sioner Wodtke noted that the 25% local match to qualify would <br />simply be staff time that already has been allocated to the EDC; <br />so, there is no cost factor on the county budget, and he would <br />like to have retroactive approval of his action. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Bowman, the Board unanimously <br />gave retroactive approval to the above to <br />the above letter and to its submittal to the <br />Economic Development Administration. <br />REPORT ON COUNTY LANDFILL RATE SCHEDULE <br />Chairman Scurlock informed the Board that the figures for <br />the modifications to the solid waste rate schedule agreed to at <br />the last public hearing have turned out to be significantly more <br />of a reduction than anticipated; in fact, the impact all the way <br />through is significantly less. He passed out these figures for <br />the Board's information. <br />Commissioner Bird asked if these rates will generate the <br />needed dollars, and Chairman Scurlock confirmed that the figures <br />were fine tuned with revenue projections based on the new <br />numbers, and we now have reached a balanced budget again. He <br />noted this will be an interim rate, and we will be looking at the <br />rest of the master plan and how we approach solid waste in the <br />future when the study comes in this summer. <br />67 <br />BOOK 64 PAGE 67 <br />F <br />
