PUBLIC DISCUSSION ITEMS <br />1O.B.I. REQUEST TO SPEAK FROM SUSAN MEHIEL REGARDING TREASURE <br />COAST REGIONAL PLANNING COUNCIL <br />Susan Mehiel, 131 Laurel Oak Lane, voiced her concerns about what she feels is a lack <br />of public representation from the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council (TCRPC). She read <br />portions of a letter sent to Governor Scott by Michael Busha, the Executive Director of TCRPC, <br />wherein he states that passenger rail service has been a long-standing regional priority, and <br />proposes strategies for mitigating the impacts of Florida East Coast Industries' (FECI) proposed <br />All Aboard Florida (AAF) high speed railway project. Ms. Mehiel declared that the statements <br />in the letter do not mirror the public's opposition to the AAF. She urged the Board to <br />disassociate itself from the TCRPC and work with other counties that share Indian River <br />County's interests. <br />March 18, 2014 14 <br />
