APPROVED	Tab 1. Request approval of the following Minutes: March 13, 2012 (Regular Meeting) as presented.
	CITIZEN QUESTION AND COMMENT PERIOD Mr. Vance Jochim, a resident of Tavares who writes a blog called FiscalRangers.com, addressed the Board to discuss Agenda 21 and community redevelopment areas (CRA’s). He encouraged the Board to educate themselves on Agenda 21 and the main issue that restrictions are placed on property values and are included in comprehensive plans. He added that there are counties across the Country that are creating property rights councils to evaluate the restrictions in the comprehensive plans because professional appraisers are now being instructed on how to reduce the value of land. He also mentioned that CRA’s are addressed in Agenda 21 and noted that Umatilla pulled $857,000 out of their CRA over 20 years to divert it to non-voter approved uses. He stated that a plan needed to be approved first in order to avoid any negative impacts to property owners and taxpayers.
