The Chairman opened the Public Hearing, <br />Renee Renzi, Waverly Place, asked the Board to see if some faded road striping could be <br />improved on a portion of Schumann Drive. <br />Director Mora revealed that the City of Sebastian owns part of the roadway; however, <br />staff would evaluate the situation on the ' <br />Countys portion of the road. <br />Bob Johnson, Coral Wind Subdivision, opposed the potential 6-ce11t increase in the local <br />option <br />no <br />tax proposed for the 2014-2015 Capital Improvements Program, and was concerned <br />that the Board's approval of staff's request today would automatically approve the tax. <br />Discussion followed regarding the additional 6 -cent increase to the local option gas tax. <br />Staff assured Mr. Johnson that the Board was not at this time approving the increase, and that the <br />matter would have to go before a public hearing at the time of consideration. <br />Commissioner O'Bryan added that including the increase in the planning document does <br />not automatically mean the Board is going to approve it, and historically, the Board has not <br />supported the fuel tax increase. <br />Mr. Johnson re -addressed the Board to voice opposition to the road widening project on <br />Oslo Road, and to the proposed South County Park recreational facility. <br />Staff and Commissioners elaborated on the need for the road improvements. Regarding <br />the recreational facility costs, Administrator Baird explained that the County would part <br />ner with <br />other non-profit organizations to offset costs. <br />There being no additional speakers, the Chairman closed the Public Hearing. <br />November 8, 2011 10 �K 141 PG 6 5 0 <br />
