Inasmuch as I know the Board of County Commissioners is meeting soon to consider future
budget expenditures, I feel certain comments are in order concerning Indian River County's
continued participation in the East Central Florida Regional Planning Council.
As you know, I have been oneof the Board members from this county for some time and ,
have supported our position in the Council wholeheartedly. 'I believe this body, through
its well qualified staff, has obtained and disseminated accurate and vital information for
the counties that no one of us could very well afford on its own. If this information -were
properly analyzed and used by the counties, there would be no doubt in my mind that our
membership would be profitable and should be continued. On the other hand, if Indian
River County's participation is to be continued on the current use basis, then I would
have to recommend that we drop our membership. '
Although these thoughtmay not be of particular value, I wanted to pass them on to you
in confirmation of our recent conversation.

Honorable Donald MacDonald .
Member, Board of County Commissioners
Indian River County
Sebastian, Florida 32958
Dear Don:
Supplementing our phone visit today, I agree that under the
circumstances it is best for Indian River County not to renew
its membership in the East Central Florida Regional Planning
Council for the next year.
I definitely feel there is a positive need for long range planning .
for the best interest of Indian River County and strongly urge
that you discuss with the other members of our fine Board of County
Commissioners the possibility of creating,.by official board action,
a Planning Authority to assume the responsibility of a comprehensive
planning program for our county,
I would suggest this be patterned somewhat like the Airport Authority
in the City of Vero Beach, The Authority of course would be account-
able directly to the Board of County Commissioners with the final
decision resting in the hands of the County Commission. This same
system has worked well in the City with both the Planning & Zoning
Board. and the Airport Authority.
I would further suggest the Authority be compesed,of aeven members
with staggered terms which would give continuity during the coming
years.
I fully realize the Board of County Commissioners' themselves can act
as a planning board but with the literally hundreds of other re-
sponsibilities you gentlemen have as a board, I strongly feel the
need for a separate authority which could study and recommend to the
Commission.
I do hope you and the other Commissioners .will look with favor
upon this suggestion and create this authority within the very
near future to enable Indian River County to continue to grow
in the right and proper manner for the best interest of our
future growth and economy.
I am sure a wealth of data that has already been compiled by the
East Central Florida Regional Planning Council would be immediately
available to this new proposed Planning Authority.
With warm personal regards and best wishes, I am
MPB/c
Sincerely,
Merr 1 P. Barber
President
