Look at what I found in the public record! Is Rex Nelson exposing or thanking his supporters?

In this document Rex points fingers at the player by thanking them for their support. If these players were meeting out of the sunshine like his words suggest then they have big problems. These players may have also forgot to disclose they were members of the oppostion before voting on the resolution sent to the county. Then there is the all important vested right thing and it appears to be the insturment of corruption.

Members of the Council, Staff and Citizens, I’m Rex Nelson, 710 Fischer Circle    Web site   www.sebastianconcernedcitizens.com

Thanks for the opportunity to present, in prime time, the status of Stop Ocean Concrete Now! – The biggest environmental and economic crisis to threaten Sebastian. We are one hundred days old this week. With luck we could be done in another 100 days, or we may be around for 1000.

Public support for our efforts has been overwhelmingly positive and includes hundreds of people. In the previous appearances we’ve received significant Council guidance.  Tonight we want you to know how you have helped,  the status, and the uncertainties we face.

Councilman Sal Neglia started the process by inviting Al Minner, Rebecca Grohall, and Dale Simchick to Don Wright’s home on January 2. From that time on we’ve met almost every Tuesday evening. We’ve grown to eleven neighborhoods, representing hundreds of volunteers. We now meet the last Tuesday of each month, at 7 p.m., Old City Hall.

January 10 we came here and received a unanimous vote for the Resolution to the County Commissioners citing the environmental threats. We remain very appreciative. Our flyer carries this message.

Last month Mayor Coy asked about the incredulous zoning that would allow a concrete plant in the Light Industrial district where activities would have a “minimum impact on nearby neighborhoods.”  That and a Forum meeting with Councilman Al Paternoster and Commissioner Joe Flescher resulted in Al suggesting that we appear before the  Board of County Commissioners. On March 6 the Board directed Staff to propose a zoning change that would eliminate Process Industries from all Indian River County Industrial Light Districts.

On March 20,   Mr. Stan Boling presented his staff’s work to the Commission with the criteria for removing the heavy industries from IL  He said all five existing concrete plants are in IRC’s IG, Industrial General Zone. But Ocean Concrete would be exempt, as expected, from the change. However, George Christopher, Vice-President of the Indian River Neighborhood Association,  www.IRNA.com suggested the County should consider legal precedents from other States that would block OCI from developing their site because of insufficient vesting.. County Attorney, Will Collins concurred with the concept. But Ocean Concrete is currently exempt.

We continue to struggle with making about 50 per cent of the people aware of the proposed concrete plant’s economic impacts and the environmental threats affecting our Air, our Water, our Peace and Quiet, our Traffic, and the beauty of our Skyline.

A rough outline of the efforts ahead:

In April the Staff will finish their final drafts of the amended changes. In May the Professional Services Advisory Committee (PSAC) reviews the proposed changes, in June the Planning and Zoning Commission will consider and in June or July the Board of County Commissioners will hold hearings to consider adopting the proposals..

We are prepared to continue throughout this process and beyond as necessary.   Attorney Michael O’Haire  agrees to represent us at Planning and Zoning Commission and Board of County commissioners quasi-judicial meetings involving Ocean Concrete, which  of course,  is a separate matter from the general zoning change request process.  Thus a lot of effort faces us.

The Council’s support is very effective. Thanks to everyone on the dais continuing that support will keep our City clean. If Sebastian loses, the citizen’s will be paying till the end of time in property values, tax base, and the good life enjoyed here.

The citizen’s letter writing response has really made the biggest difference. We suggest that continue, but only write to the County Commissioners to support them in approving the pending zoning changes and stopping Ocean Concrete.

Thanks for your time and attention. May these remarks enter the Public Records?
