Thanks Ensigmatic.
I have just uncovered the video of the Water Management District board meeting where approving this sale was a consent item. My local County Commissioner is assisting me in composing a FOIA request pertaining to the highly irregular way in which this parcel came to be for sale. Both My State Senate and House Reps have contacted the SJRWMD and have received replies that they will delay the sale if the County Commission will send them notice that they are bringing this up as an agenda item. It should be on it's way from my local Commissioner tonight. If you guys don't mind, keep signing up to the deadline (March 20th), so I can have a higher total number of petition signers for the full County Commission meeting.

I got our issue onto the County Commission meeting agenda for Tuesday through one of our Commissioners and a State Senator and State representative.
Our hope is to get the county to agree to take over the property from the SJRWMD.

Please continue to sign the petition, in addition to bringing out every local resident to comment at the meeting, I will be entering the petition into the minutes.

It's been a few days now. How about an update, CaptianMike? Are things still moving in the right direction?


Thanks,

Fenris was right.
We went before the Brevard County Commission today. The St Johns River Water Management District had agreed to delay the sale until after the County meeting. We had 13 speakers recommend the county take the property for FREE. No speakers argued against the county taking the property.

The county commission refused and voted 5-0 against the public.



The last public access to the St Sebastian River is no more, it is now private property belonging to the wealthy jerk at the end of the street.

It certainly looked like the decision had been made before the first speaker ever took the podium.

Sincere Thanks to everyone who wrote or signed my petition. And Thanks to Para for letting me post this here!

That is terrible.
Sounds like at the very minimum, you need to elect new Commissioners come election time. Oust those corrupt ones. It's kind of after the fact on your issue, but at least they could lose their positions over the decisions they made.
