HEW BUi1NE==: Chair Mary Chapman opened the meeting with a discussion on the Port
Master Plan. Mayor Bob Benton made a request to the Committee members for support to
take a request to the Board of County Commissioners to add a referendum to this November's
Ballet election year for Citizens input on the Port Master Plan. Mayor Benton informed
members that the City of Fort Pierce declined the referendum.
Discussion from members included that they have attended various meetings concerning the
Port Master Plan, and .members are concerned that the Consultant for Florida Department of
Transportation is not doing a fair and thorough interview process. Members feel there should
be more publicly advertised meetings for general public input.

Chair Chapman opened the floor for elections and nominated Mayor Benton for Chair of the
Harbor Advisory Committee, and Jerry Kuktlinskti seconded. Marty Lavin nominated Brad
Currie for Vice Chair of the Harbor Advisory Committee, and Mayor Benton seconded. Roll
was taF~en and both nominations received unanimous approval.
Buzz Smyth asked for time to give a presentation, he spoke briefly on the Port's recreational
potential and Resolution 96-11, and asked for more time at the next meeting.
At a Harbor Advisory Committee meeting several months ago it was suggested that a "to do"
list be brought to the County Commissioner's concerning the Port. Discussion on that will be
brought up at the next meeting, as to whether it is better to wait until the Port Master Plan is
completed, or tape a list to the County Commissioners now.
