SPOIL ISLANDS POLICY
The State of Florida Board of Trustees of the Internal_Improve-
ment Trust Fund adopted a spoil islands policy August 11, 1970,
as set forth:
1. Spoil islands should be left in their natural state unless
a greater public purpose would be served by development. If
non -state development is to take place, it should be undertaken
under lease by the Trustees rather than sale and consistent with
guidelines set forth in Section 253.111, Florida Statutes.
2. Proposals for public development of any spoil island should
be authorized only after consultation with appropriate state
agencies to see if any better public purpose might be.served.
The Staff requests reaffirmation of above Trustees' policy adopted'
August 11, 1970, and that the following additional recommendation
be adopted by the Trustees:
3. Dwelling houses and structures not owned by the State of
Florida or any of its agencies that have been constructed
on the spoil islands should be removed, either by the.
individuals claiming a possessory interest in the structures,
within a reasonable period of time, or by appropriate state
agencies.with assistance from local governmental officials.
Continuous human habitation of any spoil islands should be
discontinued.

shortage for Medicaid patients, and
WHEREAS, such nursing homes are reluctant to reserve any
beds for Medicaid patients except a very minimal amount.

Commissioners of Indian River County,, Florida, that:
The Board thinks in the best interest of the sick and elderly
that the Florida Legislature appropriate a maximum payment of
$500.00 per month for Medicaid Nursing Home Care, which payment
is more in line with actual nursing home costs and that a copy of this
Resolution be forwarded to members of the Florida State Legislative
Delegation representing this area, asking support in the increase of
payments available for Medicaid patients in nursing homes.
PASSED AND DULY ADOPTED in regular session this 4th
