Commissioner Bird noted that Public Works Director Davis gave the Board the new alignment plan yesterday to which the Board agreed, and he felt it is in agreement with the City. City Manager Little believed the land owners are on board, and Director Davis stated that as far as we know, most of them are. Chairman Scurlock noted that the county also does not want to do anything that would make any new bridge more expensive by creating additional developable land, and City Manager Little expressed his conviction that the County should proceed to put the Boulevard where they plan, and the City will put the bridge wherever the Boulevard is. Mayor Macht believed wherever the bridge hits the Boulevard, it will be by an aerial route and no causeway will be involved. City Manager Little confirmed that the State, if they went to that alternative, is proposing an elevated bridge all the way to the intersection with the Boulevard with no interchange off of it. He believed they have programmed some money for planned condemnation for the land the bridge will be going over. Chairman Scurlock asked Public Works Director Davis if we wil'I be involved in a joint mitigation situation and if there are things we can do together. Director Davis advised that as it stands now, the minor alignment change does not negate the county purchasing that impoundment #22, which is about 100 acres, which would include the alignment for the new bridge coming across. We are pro- ceeding to get an appraisal updated to purchase impoundment #22. Question arose as to whether there would be any state monies for this, and Director Davis advised that the DOT has appropri- ated some Local Government Assistance Program Funds to the project, about $100,000, which is not enough to be able to buy the whole impoundment, but we do have a commitment from the DOT for funding to that level. 17 sou .73 r'nUE 1 ,JUN 8 1988 _.
