60�K � 02 FAG -6®x.9 <br />The purpose of the delegation meeting, prior to the convening of the regular session of <br />the Florida Legislature, is to consider the introduction of Special Acts relating to Indian River <br />County, and to allow local residents an opportunity to voice their opinions on various issues to <br />the delegation. <br />Anyone wishing to have a Special Act for Indian River County introduced should have <br />the Act drafted and delivered to my office at 1053 20th Place - City Hall, before October 31, <br />1996. A statement by an attorney, that the purpose of the Act cannot be accomplished by a <br />local ordinance or rule, is required with each proposed Special Act, along with two copies <br />of proof of publication. <br />If you have any questions regarding the meeting, or wish to be on the agenda to address <br />the delegation, please contact my Legislative Assistant Dawn Smith or my Legislative Secretary <br />Carol Gerow in my District office, phone number 778-5077. <br />COMMITTEES: Environmental Protection, Chair - Law Enforcement & Public Safety - Transportation and <br />Economic Development (Fiscal) <br />Chairman Eggert briefly reviewed the information on the date, time, and location of <br />the meeting. She summarized the revisions the Board has spoken about and advised that <br />County Attorney Vitunac would be submitting resolutions at next week's Board meeting for <br />their consideration and adoption on the following concerns: <br />1) Unfunded mandates; <br />2) Partial year assessments; <br />3) Local government control of public rights-of-way; <br />4) Preservation 2000; <br />5) Give non -charter counties right to petition initiatives; <br />6) Article V funding; <br />7) Continue on the amendment of the clamming leases. <br />Commissioner Adams suggested a Special Act of 1959 may need to be revamped. It <br />concerns the ability of the hospital to place a claim of lien against a patient prior to receiving <br />services. She will review it with County Attorney Vitunac to determine what, if anything, <br />should be done. <br />Chairman Eggert wondered whether any action needed to be taken with respect to two <br />parks in North County, and Commissioner Adams saw that matter to be more administrative, <br />not legislative. <br />r,; <br />SEPTEMBER 23, 1997 <br />
