I County-level water supply planning ' The District commends the County for its water supply planning effort and recommends that the County coordinate a meeting between the County, the District, and other local governments in the County to discuss water supply planning on a county-level scale. This could allow for a more thorough evaluation of the potential impacts of water supply development and available water supplies. If the County decides to move forward with the development of alternative water ' supplies, these other local governments may be interested in partnering in project development. Representation on the District Governing Board ' Several speakers at the workshop expressed concern that the District Governing Board is not attentive enough to the needs and concerns of Indian River County. At least one speaker suggested that a solution to this concern would be the appointment of an Indian River County resident to the Governing Board. The District Governing Board and its staff always work to be responsive to the needs of its citizens and particularly local governments. Two Governing Board ' members, Bill Kerr, who resides in Brevard County, and John Sowinski, who resides in Orange County, are appointed from areas that include portions of Indian River County. Both of these Governing Board members are very concerned about the needs of the areas from which they are appointed as well as concerned about the needs of the district as a whole. ' I hope you find these clarifications useful. I am available,to meet with you again to discuss these and other matters that may concern you. ' Sincerely, Kirbyreen I Executive hector Cc: Sandra Bowden, Vice Chairman ' Wesley Davis, Commissioner Peter O'Bryan, Commissioner Joseph Flescher, Commissioner Joseph Baird, County Administrator Erik Olson, Director of Utility Services
