Any Other Matters A) Councilmember Collings reviewed a proposed Sea Turtle Ordinance which is in a process of being drafted by the County to protect endangered species of Sea Turtles which include Leatherback, Green and Loggerhead Turtles. He noted that the Florida beaches from Canaveral to Broward County are the largest rookery for these species of Turtles, and protective measures are aimed at maximizing shelter during nesting and hatching period. Additional concerns were also addressed, and Mr. Collings indicated a draft of the Ordinance upon completion would be forwarded to all municipalities with the • intent of total countywide passage of the legislation. Adoption of the ordinance by all municipalities in Palm Beach County and the County could enable such legislation to become a part of the Coastal Management Plan. Mr. Collings also reviewed the report on the Tourist Development Tax and the formula for distribution to the Beaches and Shores Council. The current fifteen (15%) percent distribution received by the Beaches and Shores Council has been determined inadequate and it is hoped that a redistribution formula would provide twenty four (24%) percent of the tax for beaches and shores use. B) Various other matters were discussed briefly; however, Council did not take any action on the matters discussed. There being no other business before the Council, the meeting was adjourned at 8:25 P.M. Respectfully submitted, . ~, Bill C. Kascavelis Finance Director/Clerk .
