Chairman Scurlock brought up Round Island Park, noting that <br />he has had many comments, including that it is a St. Lucie County <br />park - possibly we should get rid of it, etc. <br />Commissioner Bird informed the Board that the Parks 8 <br />Recreation Committee has discussed it a lot, and it is low on the <br />priority list and in sort of a holding plan. We have built a <br />boat ramp on the riverside and really haven't spent any money on <br />the ocean side of the park for years. He emphasized that it is a <br />valuable piece of property. It seems that St. Lucie County is <br />progressing pretty well with the Save Our Coast program to get <br />them to buy a large tract just beyond our border. He did believe <br />the river side of the park has tremendous possibilities for the <br />future since it has a deep water basin and access out to the <br />waterway, and possibly it could lend itself to a user fee. <br />Mr. Diamond reviewed the graph comparing the categories of <br />immediate long term debt needs, and OMB Director Baird pointed <br />out that Environmental and Recreation includes the library. <br />Discussion ensued regarding revenues, the optional sales <br />tax, the service tax, possible repeal, and various alternatives. <br />It was emphasized that <br />this <br />immediate Long I erm ueoi Neeas .: <br />in a state <br />of flux. <br />_ <br />went <br />•. $42;700,000: <br />following <br />Summary of Long <br />$20000000•, ` <br />$18,700,000 <br />$180000oo' <br />i <br />$16000000 <br />$14000000 <br />$1200.0000 <br />$10000000. <br />r <br />$9;;000. <br />$8000000 <br />n . <br />$800,000 <br />E.•• <br />$60000Q0 <br />$4,500,000 <br />$4,000,000 <br />.$4000000 <br />• .$, <br />$20000b0 <br />$o <br />Wafer &•3ewer '' <br />Env. <br />Solid Waste <br />Capltal`Imp. <br />Roads <br />r <br />Purpose <br />Discussion ensued regarding revenues, the optional sales <br />tax, the service tax, possible repeal, and various alternatives. <br />It was emphasized that <br />this <br />is all <br />in a state <br />of flux. <br />Mr. Diamond next <br />went <br />over the <br />following <br />Summary of Long <br />Term Debt: <br />8 <br />�� <br />SEP 1 81 BOOK 69 PAGE'432 <br />
