OLD BUSINESS:
Minutes from December 2010 meeting were approved. There was a group
discussion concerning the importance of the Kilroy water testing product.
Madam Chair brought up County procedures for the new member of the Committee Mr.
Marty Laven. The Board of County Commission has downsized to two meetings per month
and has asked Committees to meet only if there is a reason or recommendation to submit to
the Board.
Mr. Kuklinski asked Assistant County Attorney Katherine Barbieri information concerning the
Memorandum she prepared for the Committee member about the responsibility of the

Harbor/Port area. There seems to be some confusion as which agency takes care of legal issues
that may arise. Mr. Kuklinski would like to see stricter legal support from the County.
NEW BUSINESS:
Madam Chairinformed the Committee of a meeting that took place with
the Planning and Development Services Director, Mark Satterlee, Public Works Director, Don
West, and Capital Improvement Manager, Michael Brillhart with Mr. Mark Norton. Mr.
Satterlee spoke to the Committee Members concerning the meeting with Mr. Norton. Mr.
Norton said he submitted an Application in 2002 concerning submerged land lease for cargo.
Mr. Satterlee and Mr. West told Mr. Norton that this plan does not work with the Port Master
Plan. Mr. Satterlee prepared a written summary about the meeting for the County
Administrator, and it was given as a handout to the members.
Mr. West informed members that he suggested to Mr. Norton that he submit a site plan if he is
interesting in pursuing this project. Mr. Kuklinski asked if Mr. Norton has spoken to the County
Commission, and Mr. Chapman confirmed that he had. Mr. Satterlee also mentions that Mr.
Norton has spoken with the City of Fort Pierce Council as well.
Mr. Kuklinski is concerned that Mr. Norton is focusing on Berth one instead of Berth four.
Madam Chair asked Mr. Satterlee what the process would take to change the Port Master
Plan, Mr. Satterlee said it would involve City and Public Process.
Delores Johnson and John Parry were present from the Waterfront Council to support the
current Port Master Plan.
Mr. West shared with the members that the County and City both are involved with the Port
Master Plan and that both Agencies accepted and approved the current plan.
Madam Chair brought hand-out information to the members about the permit for the City of
Fort Pierce Storm barrier model project. Discussion from Mr. Laven and members ensued.
Mr. Laven brought a hand-out for the members and spoke on the Sea-Life Habitat
Improvement Project, Inc. He suggested perhaps Any Brady would be able to give the
members a presentation at one of the upcoming meetings.
Mr. Kuklinski brought a hand-out for the Committee members from the Florida Sportsman
magazine. http://preview.floridasportsman.com/casts/060802/index.html.
