Board discussion of options regarding actions and statements by the Town of Malabar related to the Malabar Scrub Sanctuary.
End
Summary Explanation and Background:
On Monday, January 3rd, 2022, County staff gave a presentation to the Town of Malabar regarding the Malabar Scrub Sanctuary, consistent with the Board of County Commissioner’s previous direction to engage the public and interested groups. The Town of Malabar City Council responded in a manner that requires this Board’s immediate attention. For instance, the Council indicated that if this Board doesn’t acquiesce to its demands, they will make it as “painful,” “difficult and expensive” as possible on the County for it to carry out its restoration function.
As such, it is requested that the Board discuss its options to ensure that the County is able to perform its functions effectively.
