unanimously.
2 . Old Business:
A. Dave Maehr handed out his letter to Commissioner Burt L.
Saunders to EPTAB members for discussion. A lengthy
discussion took place about the potential merger of EAB
and EPTAB Advisory Boards.
B. David Land expressed his concern whether EPTAB is
functioning properly with an eleven member board as
compared to a seven member board. He also asked the
members if they felt the County would be better served
having environmental ad hoc working groups established
to address specific environmental policy issues as they
arise, instead of a standing advisory committee. He
also questioned whether EPTAB was utilizing staff time
efficiently.
C. Gary Beardsley explained that EPTAB's role was to
provide technical expertise to the Board and that EPTAB
should spell out to the Board what the Growth Management
Plan lists as the County's responsibilities in
protecting the natural resources within Collier County.
D. David Maehr suggested that Gary Beardsley put together a
list of deficiencies involving the Growth Management
Plan and be signed by the EPTAB Advisory Board, to be
distributed to County Commission Board Members.

inform the Commissioners of EPTAB role and

meetings.

communication network with the Board, and EPTAB should
keep ongoing communication dialogue with the
