8.K. FOLLOW-UP REPORT ON STATE REQUIREMENTS FOR A SUBMERGED <br />LANDS LEASE OR REMOVAL OF STRUCTURES FROM BOAT CLUB <br />ISLAND (FOLLOW-UP TO 12/16/08 BOARD ITEM) <br />Commissioner O'Bryan recalled this matter coming before the Board earlier, and <br />said that in order to repair the docks and make them functional for the recreational boating <br />community, the State requested the County apply for a submerged lands lease, which would <br />become an expensive process. He said that staff understood .that the Florida Department of <br />Environmental Protection (DEP) would work with us on an alternate format; however, the State <br />DEP office in Orlando informed us that they do not want to work with Indian River County; and if <br />these structures are not removed we would be deemed to be engaged in an act of trespass. <br />Commissioner O'Bryan believed it was necessary to write to Mike Haridopolos, Ken Pruitt, Ralph <br />Poppell, and Debbie Mayfield, asking them to speak with the DEP, and to work with us to get this <br />accomplished. <br />Chairman Davis said that if the Motion passes, he would gather input from the <br />Commissioners and draft a letter (with the assistance of staff and the Legal Department). <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner O'Bryan, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Solan, the Board unanimously agreed to <br />TABLE this item; and for Chairman Davis to send letters to <br />Senators Mike Haridopolos, Ken Pruitt, Ralph Poppell, and <br />Debbie Mayfield informing them of the lack of cooperation <br />from the Submerged Lands and Environmental Resources <br />Program of the State Department of Environmental <br />Protection in requiring the removal of public docks. <br />12 <br />February 10, 2009 <br />• <br />BK136PG783 <br />
