13 . D . COMMISSIONER RUTH STANBRIDGE - SEBASTIAN <br /> SCRUB JAY LOTS - GRANT FROM UNITED STATES <br /> FISH AND WILDLIFE - LOAN TO PELICAN ISLAND <br /> ELEMENTARY ECO-TROOP SCRUB LOT <br /> ACQUISITION PROJECT <br /> The Board reviewed a Memorandum of December 4 , 2000 : <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> DATE : December 4. 2000 <br /> TO : Members, Board of County Commissioners <br /> FROM: Ruth Stanbridge, Commissioner <br /> SUBJECT: Sebastian Scrub Jay Lots <br /> It has been brought to my attention that the transfer of the approved grant for $218,000 <br /> from the United States Fish and Wildlife and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation <br /> Commission to purchase the Sebastian scrub lots has been delayed. With this delay <br /> comes the danger that some of these lots will be developed or at least cleared. I have <br /> attached a copy of a newspaper article where a clearing has occurred. <br /> On Friday, I met with Joe Baird, Bob Keating, and Roland De Blois, to see if it would be <br /> possible for the County Commissioners to assist the Pelican Island Elementary ECHO <br /> Troop by providing a short term loan to be reimbursed from the USFWS grant expected <br /> early next year. This loan would only be used to option the remaining lots and an <br /> interlocal agreement would be necessary with the School Board concerning the <br /> reimbursement. The discussion of these lots and the interlocal agreement has been placed <br /> on the School Board agenda for December 12th. <br /> Roland will be available to go over the details with us at Tuesday' s meeting. <br /> Attachment: Article <br /> Aerial of scrub lots <br /> Platt of scrub lots <br /> Commissioner Stanbridge stated that the grant applied for has been approved but there <br /> will be a delay in receiving the funds .
