“Thank you, Madam Chair. Thank you, Jess, for all you do for the county up there. You were recollecting on how the land acquisition process has changed over the years, and I couldn't agree with you more. We used to have kind of experts evaluate a list, and then the list would be funded, and we've moved so far. I'm remembering like a year or two ago there was that project in Destin that I think that was way beyond a member project. It was like $80 million, and it was line itemed in the, is that just, I know things happen up there, but was that a function of any process other than, no, okay.”

“Nancy is a member of the advisory board, the superintendent of Biscayne Bay National Park. In a way, my questions may be more relevant to when she's here, Madam Chair, and maybe she could give a presentation. But when I look at the map, Griffin, I see you guys north and south of this big area that says Biscayne National Park.

“Not to drag this out, but could you or whoever at the county level get back to me on that? Because the title kind of is misleading, because you'd think government cut is the focus. It's actually the watershed. right that flows down the miami river in the government cut and that's like i said it was two years ago it was the last time or more that i ever heard about this thing uh this plan excuse me so if you could just follow up with oh you or for somebody from the county uh nancy that could help me understand where this new plan is in the status thank you certainly thank you i did not forget…”

“Yeah. This motion is very important, but it refers to a lot of things that we haven't talked about, which need to be talked about.

And if we're ready to talk about the Manatee Protection Plan, Madam Chair, then we can tackle these issues.

And if we're going to take it up, we need to take it up, because we will never solve the other issues until we're ready…”
