Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes-Final February 14,2017 He discussed the State funding deadline, and advised the Board that the County was not obligated to participate. A lengthy discussion ensued. The main topics of conversation included the County's current legislative priorities; the time frame for the grant; the nutrient load of the stormwater; whether River Club would provide the necessary right-of-way; the status of the project's permitting/construction; and the documentation that was included on the Town's Grant Application. County Administrator Jason Brown remarked that it would be best to defer a decision on funding for this matter.

He recalled that the County had deeded said property to the Town, and that the County has the Right of First Refusal to purchase the property within a 90-day time frame. Administrator Brown pointed out that the Town has secured its own auction services, and that there is a federal requirement for public oceanfront access which needs to be addressed. Robert Stabe,Jr.,Town Manager of Indian River Shores, disclosed that it would be helpful for the Town to know prior to the auction whether or not the County wishes to purchase the parcel. He asked the Board to consider the following three options: (1)relinquish its right of first refusal; (2)provide the Town with a document advising that it has no plan to buy the parcel (if that is the case); or(3)commit to making a decision more quickly than 90 days. Vice Chairman O'Bryan observed that the issue of the public beach access should be clarified before the Town auctions off the property, and suggested that the County Attorney work with the Town on the configuration.
