have their meetings. There was a consensus to change the meeting time to 10:00 A.M.
Commissioner Craft asked for ideas for future items to be placed on the agenda. Some
suggestions were an update on the Special Needs Shelter, SFWMD and what the water
shortage really means, why they continue to build and what SFWMD is doing about
the water shortage, the Rural Land Stewardship Program, and the Department of
Financial Services.
OLD BUSINESS:
There was discussion about potholes on US Highway 1 in front of Palm Grove. Dennis
