NOV 1g 1986 BOOK 4,16 would like to appoint Commissioner Wheeler to work on this between now and next week. He felt we can adopt the Resolution and defer the appointments until next week. - Discussion ensued as to the required membership on the Council, and Commissioner Wheeler believed it indicates three of the members may be people interested in the tourist industry, not necessarily owners, and he felt this leaves it quite open. Commissioner Bird asked if one of the primary purposes of establishing this tax was to generate funds for beach restoration, and Chairman Scurlock clarified that it is more than that; originally the Bill didn't even include beach renourish- ment, and now it is even possible it would allow the funds generated to be used for making up the shortfall to develop our new beaches in the North County. Commissioner*Wheeler believed we have until next Tuesday to make appointments; the nine man Board will simply draw up what they anticipate using the money for and establish the need for the tax. Then if it is approved by the voters, those appointed to the Council would continue to serve in that capacity and do an annual budget to be approved by the Commission. Commissioner Bowman noted that first among the specific purposes listed for the Council to consider is a public convention center, and she hoped we are not committed to that. Chairman Scurlock confirmed that we are not, but believed we will have to have a good program to set forth so that the majority of the community will vote for it. ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Com- missioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously adopted Resolution 86-102, deferring naming the appointments until next week's meeting. (RESOLUTION..86-102 WILL BE MADE A PART OF THE RECORD.) (REFER TO MINUTES OF NOVEMBER 25, 1986) 66
