THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. The Motion failed by a vote of 2-1 (Commissioner Bowman dissenting); a unanimous vote being needed with only three Commissioners present. Commissioner Scurlock urged the Board to reconsider this again in August with all four Commissioners in attendance because this stops the permitting process. Attorney Collins advised that may be done, and Director Pinto said that staff would bring it back to the Board at a later date. Commissioner Bowman stressed that this is the only opportunity she has had to bring to everyone's attention the possibility and feasibility of establishing an effluent wetlands/marsh project similar to the one in the Ft. Christmas area which she feels is just fabulous. She still maintained that we should chuck the deep well injection and go for a long-range plan of a wetlands/marsh for the disposal of effluent. Administrator Chandler advised that this matter will come back at the August 4, 1992 meeting when four Commissioners will be present. Commissioner Bowman wished to point out that no good environmentalist will ever vote for deep well injection. She felt we need the courage to go ahead with a wetlands/marsh project. Director Pinto emphasized that we already have committed the County to using effluent and that the deep well is just an alternative required by the State.
