COMMENTS REGARDING CLOSING ON LOST TREE ISLANDS
The Chairman announced that the closing on the purchase of Lost Tree Islands will take
place Wednesday, February 5, 2003, here at the County Administration Building.
Deputy County Attorney Will Collins stated that a lot has changed since this morning's
Board meeting but he believed that all obstacles could be overcome. One of the problems was that
St. Johns River Water Management District did not want to sign the release provided by Lost Tree
regarding any claim SJRWMD might have to any of the property. St. Johns has now agreed to
execute a joint stipulation of dismissal on the lawsuit. St. Johns believed that they had no claim to
any of the lands and they were just defending their inclusion in the lawsuit. The City of Vero Beach
and the Town of Indian River Shores had expressed concern regarding the Andlinger, Woodruff,
and Holm Trust platted lots and Lost Tree has agreed to execute quit claim deeds relinquishing any
claim they might have in and to those lots and all the attorneys involved in the closing have agreed
that they are comfortable with that procedure. He hoped all would now go smoothly at the closing
tomorrow.
Chairman Macht then thanked Attorney Collins for all his hard work in this matter and noted
that there will be a congratulatory ceremony tomorrow when the closing has been completed and
all documents officially executed and received.
INTRODUCTION OF CHARTER SCHOOL STUDENTS

Chairman Macht then introduced 3 students from Indian River Charter School who were
attending the meeting as a requirement of one of their government classes and noted that one of the
students, Crystal Ploszay, has several paintings hanging in the Administration Building hallway. He
stated that Crystal is a successful product of the Cultural Arts Camp which has been supported by
the Board for many years.
There being no further business, on Motion duly made, seconded and carried, the meeting
adjourned at 5:08 p.m.
