Commissioner Bowman commented that the Board should have more information before approving or disapproving a merger of the Florida Department of Environmental Regulation (DER) and the Florida Department of Natural Resources (DNR). Chairman Eggert wanted to see a deeper study of the advantages and disadvantages of merging DER and DNR, because she felt it is hard to make a decision at this point. She would like to see a statement saying that the Board encourages a study rather than supporting the legislation. ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Commissioner Tippin, the Board unanimously agreed to send a letter to the upcoming legislative session supporting a study of the proposed Bill to merge the DER and DNR. ON MOTION by Commissioner Bowman, SECONDED by Commissioner Tippin, the Board unanimously agreed to send a letter in support of stiffer penalties for prostitution to the upcoming legislative session. DISCUSSION OF A QUIT CLAIM DEED FOR PELICAN POINTE CORP. TO CORRECT A SURVEY ERROR Commissioner Bowman announced that a civil engineering error had been made on the survey when the old plant at Pelican Pointe was moved out, and a quit claim deed was needed for what rightfully belongs to Pelican Pointe. Commissioner Bird asked whether the County attorneys and staff had reviewed this, and Attorney Vitunac advised that the agreement said that once the County utilities no longer needed the land the County would give it back and that's what this is. Attorney Vitunac requested that a motion be made to approve the quit claim deed, subject to all department staff signing off on it.
