14.E.1. Economic Development — Long Term Strategic Plan - <br />Deleted <br />14.E.2. Discussion on the Indian River Lagoon <br />Commissioner Zorc wanted the Board to think about projects that may surface that are <br />beneficial to the recovery, and healthful to the lagoon, that may require some local match funds <br />to obtain a grant, and he made the following motion. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Zorc, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Solari, to direct the County Attorney to explore and <br />identify the timelines and requirements to have a Referendum <br />placed on the 2014 ballot, as a funding source for projects coming <br />before them in the future. <br />Commissioner Solari supported the motion and mentioned that there is $20 million <br />dollars currently in the General Fund, which is in excess of what our policy calls for there to be <br />in reserve, and as an alternative to the Referendum, the Board may suggest to the County <br />Administrator to not spend that amount in order to leave some flexibility to move forward with <br />Lagoon projects. <br />Vice Chairman Davis thought this may be a way to obtain the public's opinion to move <br />forward with a countywide sewer system. He supported the motion, to move forward, but he <br />was worried about the projects costing tens of thousands of dollars. <br />Commissioner O'Bryan cautioned the Board on the importance of having a detailed plan <br />of action, and knowing how they would utilize the funds. <br />Commissioner Zorc wanted to establish a committee. <br />BK 144 PG 499 <br />October 22, 2013 20 <br />
