6iAR 21 98 <br />BOOK 76 FACE 440 <br />Chairman Wheeler asked if the state hasn't designated those <br />areas. In fact, he believed the state did designate them rather <br />indiscriminately in the past. <br />Commissioner Scurlock felt the proper approach would be to <br />authorize Commissioner Bowman to go to Chairman Wheeler's Marine <br />Advisory Committee with this and then it could come back to the <br />Board for action. <br />Commissioner Bowman believed all we need is a county <br />ordinance designating the area a manatee sanctuary. <br />Attorney Vitunac advised that there is a Marine Animal <br />Regulation in the state statutes, and the state designates right <br />down to canals and square footage what is protected and what <br />isn't. There are 3 pages of legal description of where they are <br />protected under the DNR, and it says if you find them anywhere <br />else to send them a map and they will have rules to protect that <br />area also. <br />Commissioner Bowman felt the situation is critical, and <br />Chairman Wheeler confirmed that he would put this on his <br />committee agenda to be discussed at their next meeting. <br />NORTH COUNTY FIRE <br />The Chairman announced that immediately upon adjournment, <br />the Board of County Commissioners would reconvene sitting as the <br />District Board of Fire Commissioners of the North Indian River <br />County Fire District. Those Minutes are being prepared <br />separately. <br />There being no further business, on Motion duly made, <br />seconded and carried, the Board adjourned at 10:05 o'clock A.M. <br />ATTEST: <br />Clerk - Chairman <br />48 <br />
