numbers, and that he thought if they were to come back with a reasonable compromise to protect manatee in the heavier populated areas that the county might consider it. Commissioner Bird advised that they have come back with a compromise plan which he just saw the first time this morning. Robert Keating, Director of Community Development, feels that time is of the essence in this matter and that we need to go ahead and get this interim plan adopted and either stick to our guns or agree to a compromise. In addition, the Sebastian Inlet Taxing District still feels that their plan is better with regard to the river north of the Wabasso Bridge. Commissioner Bird felt we need to go ahead and put the State's compromise plan into graphic form so that we can look at it clearly and compare it with our plan. He asked if the Commission would want the matter to come directly to the Board for consideration and action, or whether the Board would prefer to committee it. Commissioner Scurlock didn't feel we needed a committee, but felt that when it comes back to the Board, it should be as a public hearing. He agreed that staff should be directed to go ahead and come up with the best agreement they can and give their position at a public meeting in two or three weeks. ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously authorized Commissioner Bird to work with staff to come up with graphics of the State's compromise plan and a presentation of staff's position at an advertised public hearing during the regular Commission meeting of May 8, 1990. Director Keating advised that it isn't necessary for it to be an advertised public hearing, but the Commission felt it should be advertised and that we should notify the Sebastian Inlet Taxing District.
