A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY,
FLORIDA, SUPPORTING PASSAGE OF A GENERAL
LAW AMENDING FLORIDA STATUTE 7.31.
WHEREAS, there is an inconsistency in the
definition of the common boundary between Indian River and
Brevard Counties; and
WHEREAS, F.S. 7.31 uses the term "medial line"
which is subject to confusing and multiple interpretations;
and
WHEREAS, all similar references in F.S. 7.31 and
F.S. 7.05 dealing with a common boundary between Indian
River and Brevard Counties utilizes the language "thread",
meaning the midpoint of the deepest channel in the river,
i.e., that line along which water would flow if the river
were drained to its lowest point;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA, that
the Legislature of the State of Florida amend Florida
Statute 7.31, the legal description of the boundaries of
Indian River County, to delete the inconsistent reference to
"medial line" and replace it with a reference to "thread",
by means of passage of the General Law attached as Exhibit
"A" hereto.
