emissions and she personally would like to make motor vehicle <br />inspections mandatory in the State of Florida. <br />Chairman Scurlock suggested that we defer this matter for <br />further discussionand debate to another agenda before the <br />Legislative Delegation is scheduled to meet, and the Board <br />agreed. <br />FIREARMS RANGE COMMITTEE REPORT <br />Commissioner Bird reviewed the following report: <br />'FIREARMS"RANGE COMMITTEE <br />Talmage Rogers owns a piece of property 4 miles west of I-95 north <br />of Route 60. St. John's River Water Management District has a piece <br />of property that he might be willing to swap this property for. <br />There are 6004 acres in the proposed sites with a 2 lane dirt road <br />leading to it. On the north side of the property are the Berry Groves; <br />East is Corrigan's property; and to the south are the Banack Groves. <br />The property is fairly wet and marshy. There is an electric power <br />line that comes up to the south grove. <br />The Committee agreed that this property could be filled in and diked <br />for use as a firearms range, andthey recommended that the Commission <br />move forward with negotiations to acquire the property. <br />It was suggested that a master plan be done, and broken down in phases. <br />A field trip will be scheduled for the Committee members to go out in <br />air boats to view the site more closely. <br />It was felt that the interim range at the old stump dump would not <br />be adequate to serve the public, but it is needed now for the Sheriff'•s <br />Department. When the new range is constructed, the interim range could <br />be used for specialty uses in addition to the public range. <br />The Committee asked that an update on cost estimates for the interim <br />range be obtained, and recommended that construction be started on it. <br />Major Roy Raymond is to be liaison and work with Jim Davis on this. <br />It was recommended that SJRWMD be asked to reserve the site for use <br />as a firearms range, and that work be started by providing elevations, <br />etc. <br />Commissioner Bird advised that SJRWMD is interested in <br />making the swap described if the County indicates this would be a <br />suitable site. The Committee would like an indication from the <br />Board as to whether they feel the site might be suitable and also <br />an indication that they should continue negotiating and do some <br />cost estimating. This is for the main firearm's range. <br />DEC 1988 <br />83 <br />BOOK 75 ME 333 <br />
