The purpose of these rule amendments is to modify the Commission’s Reef Fish Rule to become consistent with federal recreational reef fish regulations for vermilion snapper in the South Atlantic. Based on federally established benchmarks, the vermilion snapper stocks in the South Atlantic are undergoing overfishing, it is unknown if they are overfished. The most recent vermilion snapper stock assessment update (2007) indicates overfishing is occurring. This means fish are being removed more quickly than the stock can replace them such that the maximum sustainable yield cannot be achieved. The South Atlantic Fishery Management Council developed regulatory actions in Amendment 16 to their Snapper Grouper Fishery Management Plan to stop the overfishing of the vermilion snapper stocks. Amendment 16 addresses recreational and commercial harvest of vermilion snapper, and reduces the recreational bag limit, creates a recreational closed season, and lowers the commercial quota. However, the success of the vermilion snapper management plan depends not only upon controlling harvest in federal waters, but also upon the four states in the South Atlantic adopting rules that are consistent with the federal rules in their state waters. Florida plays a particularly important role in the success of the vermilion snapper rebuilding plan because Florida’s fishery, which occurs in both state and federal waters, accounts for 43 percent of the recreational and 18 percent of the commercial vermilion snapper catch. The effect of the Commission’s rule amendments is that federal and state regulations will be applied consistently. Where practicable, this minimizes confusion with the public, aids enforceability, and contributes to the overall vermilion snapper management effort in the South Atlantic. The Commission approved this rule amendment for Florida state waters at a publicly noticed meeting on September 10, 2009.
Rule 68B-14.0036, F.A.C., (Recreational Bag Limits: Snapper, Grouper, Hogfish, Black Sea Bass, Red Porgy, Amberjacks, Tilefish, Exception, Wholesale/Retail Purchase Exemption) would amend the Commission’s Reef Fish Rule governing the recreational vermilion snapper bag limit such that it is consistent with the recreational vermilion snapper bag limit in federally managed waters of the South Atlantic as recently implemented by the National Marine Fisheries Service. The proposed Commission rule would change the recreational vermilion snapper bag limit in the Atlantic from 10 to 5 fish per person to day and would prohibit captain and crew of for-hire vessels from retaining a bag limit of vermilion snapper.
Rule 68B-14.0038, F.A.C., (Recreational Red Snapper Season) would amend the Commission’s Reef Fish Rule by creating a recreational vermilion snapper fishing closure such that it is consistent with the recreational vermilion snapper fishing season in federally managed waters of the South Atlantic as recently implemented by the National Marine Fisheries Service. The proposed Commission rule would create a recreational vermilion snapper fishing closure from November 1 through March 31 in state waters of the Atlantic.

You are hereby notified that on the 9th day of October, 2009, at 9:00 a.m. (or as soon thereafter as the same may be heard), a public hearing (the “Hearing”) will be held at the offices of Nabors, Giblin & Nickerson, P.A., 2502 Rocky Point Drive, Suite 1060, Tampa, Florida 33607, with respect to the issuance by the Florida Local Government Finance Commission (the “Issuer”) of its Florida Local Government Finance Commission Pooled Commercial Paper Notes, Series B (Bank of America Program) (the “Notes”) on the proposed issuance by the Manatee County Port Authority (the “Port Authority”) Revenue Note, Draw No. B-1-1 (Bank of America Program) in the principal amount of not exceeding $10,000,000 and the loan of the proceeds thereof (the “Port Loan”) to the Authority. The Hearing will be conducted by Counsel to the Issuer.
The Port Authority now owns, operates and maintains a navigable port of entry known as the “Port Manatee” including storage, dockage and terminal facilities, an administrative building, warehouses, docks, jetties, quaywalls, slips, roadways and parkways and other facilities, by means of which general import and export, storage and passenger cruise line businesses are conducted (herein collectively, the “Port Facilities”). The Port Facilities are located in the northwestern portion of the County at Port Manatee whose headquarters are located at 300 Regal Cruise Way, Suite 1, Palmetto, Florida 34221, on approximately 1,150 acres of land being bounded on the East by CSX railroad tracks, on the West by the Gulf of Mexico, on the South by State owned land, and on the North by the Hillsborough County line. The Port Authority owns all improvements to the Port Facilities to be refinanced with the Notes.
The proceeds of the Notes in the amount of $10,000,000 will be loaned to the Port Authority and applied to refinance an existing loan of the Port Authority, the proceeds of which were used to finance a portion of the cost of any of the following capital improvements:
Intermodal Transit Warehouse. Construct an intermodal transit warehouse of approximately 145,000 square feet to be located east of Berth 9 and north of South Dock Street at Port Manatee.
Channel and Harbor Dredging.

The Notes do not constitute a general indebtedness or obligation of the Issuer within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory provision or limitation, but shall be generally payable from and secured by the loan repayments made by the Port Authority to the Issuer pursuant to the Port Loan. The Port Loan is payable from and secured by revenues of the Port Authority and will also be secured by a covenant of the County to budget and appropriate non-ad valorem revenues whenever the other sources are insufficient or unavailable. The Port Loan will not be or constitute an indebtedness of the Port Authority, the County, the State of Florida or any political subdivision thereof within the meaning of any constitutional, statutory or other limitation of indebtedness.
