• Cabinet members and their aides to solicit their support from that angle. She felt it was very important that staffknew that they had the support of the Cabinet, the Board of Trustees, for the State lands. She thought that, with those efforts, the Board would see some results. The only downside is we may not see this before the purchase of the Platt Estate is scheduled to go before the Governor and the Cabinet for May 28, Memorial Day. It may be on the following week if the agenda item is not in on time. She requested a new resolution which supports the purchase of the Platt property at the 50/25/25 participation split and the ability to follow through with the Cabinet meeting and the LAMAC meeting. Mr. Green indicated that he would also let the Cabinet know that this policy is being reviewed. She felt those were major steps. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Macht, SECONDED BY Commissioner Ginn, to adopt a new resolution to support the purchase of the Carson Platt Estate in the ratio of a 50/25/25 participation, as requested. Under discussion, Vice Chairman Macht pointed out that this was a savings of nearly $800,000 to the County. He thought the County has the opportunity for constructive engagement with the State which will get us where we need to go. Commissioner Ginn congratulated Commissioner Adams on a job well done. Chairman Tippin also congratulated Commissioner Adams on her ability to move around in Tallahassee. It is very important to Indian River County and to other counties which have similar bond issues or are just getting started purchasing environmentally sensitive lands. We have taken the very first step in what could be vitally important to many other counties in Florida. The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and the motion passed unanimously.
