| | PINELLAS COUNTY |
 | | In 1984 and 1986, the citizens of Pinellas County passed referendums to establish an Endangered Lands Fund, with 62 and 76 percent voter approval, respectively, committing additional millage for the acquisition of parkland, open space and environmentally sensitive lands. |
 | | To date, the Pinellas County Water System has acquired 3,605 acres of land which have been incorporated into, and are managed as a part of, the Brooker Creek Preserve. |
 | | Overall, what enables the Pinellas County program to be successful is not just the amount of land acquired, but the equal commitment by the Board of County Commissioners to land management, as supported in the objectives and policies of the Natural, Historic and Cultural Resources Element. |
