with consumer groups and environmental groups; everybody has a different opinion of what <br />should be the risk. <br />Commissioner Adams commented on how Indian River County had assumed the liability <br />for the Gifford Landfill and if "Brown Fields" had been available back when the County took it <br />over, we would not have to be paying all this. She wanted to thank Representative Sembler for <br />all his efforts on behalf of the county and our region and for being so responsive. She <br />complimented his staff people for their assistance as well. She maintained that now that DEP <br />has to put dollar values on what the counties are required to do, a whole new attitude has been <br />created and perhaps given DEP an appreciation for what they are requiring us to do. She cited <br />several examples of projects that have cost the County money to satisfy DEP requirements. She <br />expressed her gratitude for his leadership on appropriations and natural resource committees. <br />Commissioner Tippin echoed Commissioner Adams' remarks and commended <br />Representative Sembler for doing a fine job in Tallahassee for us. It was a thrill to him that he <br />has lived long enough to see Indian River County have a young representative now part of the <br />leadership, and he asked that Representative Sembler keep up the good work. <br />Chairman Eggert agreed with all the remarks and thought it would behoove us to keep in <br />mind that over the next 3 years Representative Sembler will be there continuing to work from his <br />special position to do everything he can for this district. <br />Representative Sembler thanked them for their kind remarks. He encouraged them to <br />maximize their influence at this point in time. There are only seven members of the Treasure <br />Coast delegation and they have been successful in competing against larger delegations. <br />9.B.
