B.C. COMMISSIONER ADAMS - REPORT ON TRIP TO <br />TALLAHASSEE REGARDING SHARED TITLE OF <br />ENVIRONMENTAL LANDS PURCHASED BY THE COUNTY WITH <br />THE STATE (LAMAQ <br />Commissioner Adams advised that she had met the previous Thursday with the <br />LAMAC in Tallahassee as directed by the Board of County Commissioners. The <br />recommendation was to go with what they call the "white paper", which is currently being <br />written and a copy will be provided to each of the Commissioners. It will discusss the pros <br />and cons of shared title. A legal opinion from the DEP attorney on the issue is also being <br />prepared. So, the item is on their agenda, the "white paper" is to be presented, and the issue <br />discussed at their October meeting, not the August meeting as was thought. She will advise <br />of the exact date. She added that some of the comments of the committee members were <br />very favorable. <br />13.E.1. COMMISSIONER GINN - DISCUSSION OF LOST TREE <br />ISLANDS <br />Commissioner Ginn advised that there have been some changes since the last time this <br />matter came before the Board. She asked Assistant County Attorney Terrence P. O'Brien <br />to bring them up to date on the FCT funding. <br />Assistant County Attorney O'Brien advised that the County has been informed that <br />the $2.7 million contribution is available to the County through December 4, 1998. It could <br />be that the County would lose it after that date. <br />Vice Chairman Macht pointed out that it had never been withdrawn. <br />Commissioner Ginn thought the Board needed to move forward and that it was <br />imperative to bring the negotiations back in-house. She believed it was clear from the <br />minutes of the July 14' meeting of LAAC that those who spoke at the meeting wanted to see <br />negotiations with Lost Tree go forward and it passed 9-5. Because the Chairman of the <br />LAAC (Commissioner Eggert) would be gone for the first two weeks in August, she <br />recommended that negotiations be brought back in-house on her return in case there should <br />be a need for a conference. <br />Commissioner Eggert stated that she could be telephoned at any time in spite of her <br />being on vacation. <br />July 28, 1998 <br />52 <br />
