15. E. Conservation Management Plan (CCMP); (6) lack of input from Advisory Board Committee Members on the draft Interlocal Agreement; (7) and the size and composition of the proposed Steering and Management Committees. Discussion ensued as the Board and Commissioner Solari continued to discuss the reorganization of the IRLNEP. Commissioner Solari reviewed the Motion he was preparing to make, after which Vice Chairman Davis requested adding that the IRLNEP is headed in the wrong direction. ON MOTION by Vice Chairman Davis, SECONDED by Commissioner Solari, the Board unanimously authorized Commissioner Solari to continue working on the Reorganization Committee for the Indian River Lagoon National Estuary Program (IRLNEP), conveying to the appropriate persons that: (1) the Indian River Board of County Commissioners feels the reorganization process has not addressed the County Commission's concerns; (2) that the reorganization process appears to have been somewhat rushed, given that the Comprehensive Conservation Management Plan (CCMP) is not going to be revised for a period of approximately two years and there seems to be ample time to undertake the process of building the newly reorganized Indian River Lagoon National Estuary Program (IRLNEP) correctly; and (3) that the reorganization is headed in the wrong direction. Bob Johnson, Coral Wind Subdivision, commented on the County's endeavors to clean up the Lagoon, and cautioned the Board to be careful before making a financial commitment to IRLNEP. Vice Chairman Davis voiced concerns that the proposed IRLNEP would usurp local control, and that funding for Lagoon projects might be denied if the County does not participate in the IRLNEP. The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and the Motion carried unanimously. Commissioner Tim Zorc None SPECIAL DISTRICTS AND BOARDS A.
