Draft IRL Plan Outline
Kendra Cope, Coastal Resources Coordinator, gave a PowerPoint presentation
which outlined an Indian River Lagoon Management Plan (IRL Plan). She
explained that the IRL Plan was created with consultant Tetra Tech and an
inter -departmental team in response to the Board's request for a long-range,
cohesive plan which would identify the causes of the Lagoon's water quality
issues, and prioritize restoration efforts.
The outline proposed a two -phased approach with a suggested three (3) to five
(5) year timeline. Phase 1 would gather information on factors impacting the
Lagoon and, would implement current and new projects. Phase 2 would use
the data to create measurable goals for lagoon rehabilitation.
The Board members then each stated their opinions, critique, and concerns
regarding the outline presented. The Commissioners also provided additional
comments for research and objectives to include in the final plan.
The Chairman called a recess at 11:14 a.m., and the meeting reconvened at
11:22 a.m., with all members present.
County Administrator Jason Brown expanded on staffs efforts and noted the
difficulty in coordinating multiple County Departments as well as State
Agencies. The Board agreed that this was a complex issue, and that this
outline was a good first step toward the plan they had envisioned.
The Chairman then opened the discussion for public comments. The following
residents provided input on ways to approach the Lagoon's restoration:
Judy Orcutt, 4665 Pebble Bay South
Richard Baker, Florida Audubon Society
The Board wrapped up their discussion with ideas to capture the suggestions
expressed in this discussion, including the possibility of a special workshop.
There was agreement as to the need for additional dialogue before finalizing the
direction of a final plan. Public Works Director Richard Szpyrka requested
time for staff to synthesize all the comments before returning to the Board with
a revised outline.
