I did attend the Indian River <br />Lagoon Narrows Action Committee, and was appointed Chairman of <br />that committee. <br />I would like to suggest that Commissioner Margaret C. Bowman be <br />appointed as the County Commission's representative to -serve on <br />the Sebastian Watershed Action Committee. <br />Commissioner Wheeler reported that last Friday he went up to <br />Melbourne to attend the organizational meetings of the Indian <br />River Lagoon Narrows Action Committee and the Sebastian Watershed <br />Action Committee; however, they were being held simultaneously <br />and he was able to attend only the Narrows Committee. He would <br />like to ask that Commissioner Bowman be appointed to the <br />Sebastian Watershed Committee and he would stay on the Narrows <br />Committee where he'has been elected chairman. <br />Commissioner Bird asked if it is necessary to have all these <br />committees studying the river in one way or another, and <br />Commissioner Wheeler explained that basically this is a spin-off <br />from the Marine Resources Council and currently there is <br />$5 -million available in federal funds -- $3 -million for planning <br />and $2 -million for acting.
