Public commenter seeks True Commission resolution recognizing work on waterway land‑acquisition list
Summary
John Newning asked the True Commission to adopt a resolution recognizing his efforts to advance potential land acquisitions for public waterway access; the chair said she would bring a drafted resolution to the commission for consideration.
During public comment on Aug. 7, John J. Newning asked the True Commission to adopt a resolution “recognizing my efforts in advancing the Florida Inland Navigation District potential land acquisition list” for three properties he named. Newning said his work is focused on securing public access to waterways and that some funding could come from private sources; he clarified he was not requesting city money at this time.
A commissioner asked for clarification on the specific action requested; Newning said he wanted a recognition resolution only and that any acquisition funding would be handled through the Florida Inland Navigation District or private partners. The chair told Newning she would bring a drafted resolution to the commission for consideration and that, if presented formally, the commission could vote to approve or deny it at a subsequent meeting.
Ending: The chair agreed to place a drafted resolution on a future agenda for the commission to consider.
