S Commissioner Adams advised that the Sebastian City Council considered the matter <br />of requesting a new permanent voting seat on the TCRPC at their meeting last Wednesday. <br />Commissioner Eggert wanted a letter from the Sebastian City Council and assurances <br />that the Council was interested, not just an individual Councilman. <br />Commissioner Adams suggested they request a corrected letter from the City of <br />Sebastian. She also commented that not everybody wants to attend the TCRPC's meetings. <br />Commissioner Eggertthought the City of Vero Beach should be aware that this matter <br />is being considered. Since they are the County seat and the largest city in the county; she <br />felt the City of Vero Beach should have a permanent voting seat, if they want it, before the <br />City of Sebastian. <br />Commissioner Ginn believed the TCRPC had a formula for membership which gives <br />Indian River County a rotation schedule. She thought it was something that needed to be <br />discussed with the Executive Director of the TCRPC, to learn his thoughts, then bring it back <br />to the Board. <br />Commissioner Eggert had talked with him; his response was it was unusual to have <br />someone who is really interested. <br />Commissioner Adams felt they should support the City of Sebastian's request for a <br />permanent seat, and let the TCRPC deal with it. She agreed that it was unusual to want a <br />seat down there. <br />Vice Chairman Macht suggested that the Board 1) notify the City of Vero Beach that <br />this matter is under consideration; 2) ask the City of Sebastian to send their request under the <br />heading of the City Council; and, 3) depending on that response, to then ask the TCRPC to <br />make available another permanent seat. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Ginn, SECONDED <br />BY Commissioner Eggert, to notify the City of Vero Beach that <br />the Board of County Commissioners is considering a request of <br />the City of Sebastian to have a full-time voting seat in the <br />Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council, to request a letter <br />from the City of Sebastian City Council regarding this matter, <br />and contact the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council <br />director for input as to the basis of the seats occupied by Indian <br />River County municipalities. <br />February 17, 1998 <br />52 <br />0 0 <br />
