Mr. Bickerstaffe presented his ideas on Cooper's Point. He would like to
see the owners develop part of it with approximately 25 homes which would provide
a tax base to take care of the 300 acres for mangroves ,and birds. This way the
private sector would be supporting the project. 'He felt and other members agreed,
,t '
that 1.3 million is too much money to spend for it.

Mr." Wilson again explained the Adopt-A-Park program. At present there are
',fourteen Permits with iridividuals or homeowners associations and two Agreements
with businesses. The Permits do not include a sign but the Agreements allow a
~mall,sign indicating the business maintaining the park. Mrs. Moss volunteered
