Sebastian Inlet Tax District Local Bill <br />• The Sebastian Inlet Tax District is an independent special district <br />created in 1919 by special act of the Florida Legislature. <br />The District's boundaries encompass all of Brevard and Indian <br />River Counties and its mission is to maintain the inlet between the <br />Atlantic Ocean and the Indian River Lagoon, known as the <br />Sebastian Inlet. <br />e The District is governed by a board of popularly -elected <br />commissioners, three from the county with the larger population <br />(Brevard) and two from the other county (Indian River). <br />Currently confusion exists between the District and state agencies <br />such as the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and the <br />Department of Environmental Protection regarding ownership <br />of certain inlet facilities and responsibility for maintenance and <br />security. The legislation clarifies the confusion. <br />® The District is requesting legislation authorizing it to implement <br />security measures to protect District facilities and ensure safety for <br />public recreation associated with boaters and shore -bound <br />fishermen utilizing the adjacent state park and District facilities. <br />008724261 <br />150 <br />
