Honorable Carolyn K. Eggert, Chair R.sk higr. Indian River County Commission Outer 1840 25th Street Vero Beach, Florida 32960 RE: Selection of Managers and Preparation of Management Prospecti for 1997 CARL Projects Dear Chairman Eggert: The Land Acquisition Advisory Council voted on July 18, 1997, to prepare designs for six new Conservation and Recreation Lands (CARL) projects. The project design requires the identification of appropriate entities to manage these projects should the State acquire any of them. The County has expressed potential interest in the lead or cooperative management of one of these projects, the Indian River Blueway. To assist you in your decision, a map of the proposed area of acquisition (which may change during project design) is attached as part of the CARL Assessment for this project. Please read the Management Policy Statement and Goals and Objectives carefully to determine the primary intent for state acquisition of each_project; the management prospectus will be developed according to them. If the County is interested, please send a written statement of this interest, indicating the source of management funds that you propose to use, to Dr. O. Greg Brock, Office of Environmental Services, Division 1 of State Lands, 3900 Commonwealth Boulevard, Mail Station 140, by Auttust 22,32U— In this statement, please also indicate whether or not the goals and objectives of state acquisition can be achieved through acquisition of less -than -fee -simple property rights, such as development rights, timber rights, or hunting rights. As required by Section 259.035, Florida Statutes, each CARL project must have a management prospectus prepared for it before the project may be placed on the priority list. The content of the management prospectus is specified in Section 259.032, Florida Statutes. If the County has an interest in managing the Indian River Blueway, we ask that the agency prepare a management prospectus. A sample prospectus is attached for your reference. In order to meet the deadline for completing the project designs for the new projects, we ask that the management prospectus be submitted to the Office of Environmental Services by September 30, 1997. If necessary, a meeting between interested managers will be scheduled for the preparation of the management prospectus for each project. If you have any questions, please call or write Ruark L. Cleary at the Office of Environmental Services. His telephone number is (904) 488-6242. Thank you for your prompt consideration and assistance. — Sincerely, Kir y Br . een, III Deputy retary AUGUST 19, 1997 BOOK 102 PAGE 3 4" i 25
