County attorney briefed Volusia Forever advisory committee on proposed Charter amendment to create conservation land registry Deputy County Attorney Russ Brown told the Volusia Forever advisory committee that a Charter Review subcommittee advanced a proposed amendment to create a Volusia County Registry of Conservation Lands, which would require a 'majority plus one' of the entire County Council to add or remove county-owned registry properties and generally bar sale or transfer except for public-purpose uses or eminent domain.

A new proposal could revolutionize the protection of conservation lands in Volusia County, requiring a supermajority for any transfers and ensuring these precious areas remain safeguarded from sale.
