JAN 2 7 1987 <br />BOOK 6 ucuE 81 <br />Frank Zorc, 2100 Vero Beach Avenue, asked what purpose this <br />trip would serve, and Public Works Director Jim Davis explained <br />that this is a requirement each year for the County to stay in <br />the running for federal funds for beach renourishment. The State <br />of Florida acts as a clearing house and processes all <br />applications for federal funding through the DER planning <br />office. We have done this for the last 3 years, and it is a <br />routine type of thing. <br />Chairman Scurlock believed Mr. Zorc next would ask if this <br />is a commitment to beach renourishment, and the Chairman felt it <br />is not; the purpose is just to keep our foot in the door. <br />Commissioner Bowman was concerned that the work at the <br />Sebastian Inlet was not included because she believed the inlet <br />creates erosion far, far beyond the inlet and affects property <br />on the north end of Orchid Island. <br />Director Davis believed that if we include the Sebastian <br />Inlet, the Corps will simply take it out. <br />Mr. Zorc asked if it would not be appropriate to at least <br />note on the application that we are committed to giving the <br />people a referendum vote before any final commitment is made on <br />using these funds for beach renourishment. <br />Commissioners Bowman and Eggert were not willing to include <br />that in their Motion. <br />THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. The Motion <br />was voted on and carried unanimously 5-0. <br />U._ Approval to Transport Orchid Island Citrus Fruit to Orlando <br />for 1987 National_ Association of County Engineers Meeting <br />The Board reviewed the following memo dated 1/23/87: <br />22 <br />
