BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br />1840 25th Street, Vero Beach, Florida 32960 <br />Telephone: (407) 567-8000 <br />December 30, 1994 <br />Virginia Wetherell, Secretary <br />Florida Department of Environmental Protection <br />2600 Blair Stone Road <br />Twin Towers Building <br />Tallahassee, FL 32399-2440 <br />Subject: FY 1996 Budget <br />Dear Mrs. Wetherell: <br />The Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of <br />Geology has initiated a 5 year joint project with the U.S. Mineral <br />Management Service to characterize the sediment resources within <br />the coastal waters of East Central Florida. Federal funding is <br />being provided contingent upon the State to contribute 50% matching <br />funds. We understand that the State has not funded this project <br />directly and that this years State contribution is being allocated <br />from other Department funds. <br />Indian River County will greatly benefit from this project because <br />it will provide information with regard to beach sediment sources <br />and our offshore geology. Regional approaches are necessary to <br />provide long term solutions to coastal erosion and this project <br />clearly improves our regional understanding. <br />The Indian River County _Board of County Commissioners request that <br />the Department of Environmental Protection include the remaining 4 <br />years of this project in its budget proposal for FY 1996. We don't <br />want to lose a valuable project or the opportunity for Federal <br />matching funds. <br />Very my yours, <br />Kenneth R. cht, Chairman <br />Board of County Commission <br />35 BOOK 94 PALE 80 <br />January 10, 1995 <br />
