the impoundment of the upper St. Johns River basin. Director <br />Davis estimated that while we have about $120,000 in the Boating <br />Improvement Fund, that money has been earmarked for other <br />projects in the park improvement program. <br />Commissioner Eggert had a problem doing this a 1/4 of a mile <br />at a time, and Director Davis pointed out that the annual <br />maintenance costs for that particular road are $3,000-$4,000 <br />because we have to take a grader and other equipment such an <br />extensive distance. <br />Chairman Wheeler explained that the main reason he asked for <br />this to be on the Agenda today is that he felt it was extremely <br />difficult to pull out onto SR -60 from a dirt road. He would like <br />to see the first 1/4 mile paved at least. <br />Director Davis said that they have just rebuilt a restroom <br />and put in a cold -water shower facility there, and Commissioner <br />Bowman suggested charging admission to the park. <br />Commissioner Scurlock felt that 50% of the paving costs <br />should be borne by the general public and the other 50o paid <br />through a combination of residential special assessments and boat <br />launching fees. <br />Director Davis believed we could come up with an assessment <br />of $1,000 per unit for 100 residential units. <br />Commissioner Bird noted that we have a couple of land owners <br />out there who own vacant property along side of the road, and <br />suggested that we get in touch with them to see if they would be <br />willing to participate. <br />JAN bb'a <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Eggert, that the Board request Director <br />Davis to come back with a proposal within 30 days after <br />exploring other sources to pay for 50% of the paving <br />cost, with the other 50% to come from the general <br />public. <br />51 E001;, 75 FACE 495 <br />
