VICE CHAIRMAN MACHT - CARSON PLATT ESTATE - <br />ENVIRONMENTAL LAND PURCHASE <br />Vice Chairman Macht recounted that the Board had designated Commissioner Adams <br />to go to Tallahassee to represent the Board of County Commissioners concerning the Board's <br />desire for equitable title to properties which the County purchases in partnership with the <br />State and other agencies. He called on Commissioner Adams to make her report. <br />Commissioner Adams thought that they were very good to her in Tallahassee. She <br />believed the calls and visits from Bill Roberts and others had helped considerably. What <br />the State would like to do is to contribute 50% of the purchase price for the Carson Platt <br />Estate purchase, contingent on the County's 25% and St. Johns River Water Management <br />District's 25% contributions. In addition, they will take the policy of shared proportional <br />ownership to the LAMAC (Land Acquisition and Management Committee) which sets those <br />policies. Mr. Kirby Green who heads that committee has agreed to put it on LAMAC's June <br />agenda. She was thrilled that they understand the County's position, that they sympathize, <br />and will do everything to look at the policy. They made no promises. Under that scenario, <br />the staffwas favorable and understood our position, which was very important. Mr. Roberts <br />will send a letter to Mr. Green to follow up the conversation to confirm the agenda item for <br />June and the commitment to review their policy.
