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. Page 1 of 3 Members decided to table the referendum request until the next meeting.
