'MR. RICHARDSON STATED THAT IF THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS ACCEPT THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE COMMITTEE HE WOULD LIKE TO SUGGEST THAT APPOINTMENTS TO THE GOVERNMENT STUDY COMMISSION BE DELAYED FOR 30 DAYS BECAUSE OF VACATIONS. HE CONTINUED THAT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT MADE THE COMMITTEE'S TASK SIMPLER WAS THE SERVICES OF RICHARD Co HASSELL) JR., A RESEARCH ANALYST AT .THE INDIAN RIVER COMMUNITY COLLEGE, WHOSE SERVICE WAS DONATED TO THE COMMITTEE. MR. RICHARDSON STATED THAT THE COMMITTEE SPENT APPROXIMATELY $200.00 AND DISCUSSED THE COST THAT WOULD BE INVOLVED IF THE COM" MISSIONERS AGREED TO A GOVERNMENT STUDY COMMISSION. IT WAS HIS FEELING THAT THE MAJOR COST WOULD BE FOR AN ATTORNEY AND THAT MOST OF THE PRELIMINARY WORK COULD BE DONE BY VOLUNTEERS IN THE COMMUNITY. THE BOARD DISCUSSED THE PROS AND CONS OF BRINGING THE CHARTER TO THE PEOPLE AT THE NEXT GENERAL ELECTION IN NOVEMBER, 1976. ALSO PRESENT FOR THIS DISCUSSION WAS J.B. EGAN III, A MEMBER OF THE GOVERNMENT STUDY COMMITTEE. CHAIRMAN LOY MADE THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT TO MR, RICHARDSON AND MR. EGAN AND TO ALL MEMBER OF THE GOVERNMENT STUDY COMMITTEE. "PLEASE ACCEPT THE HEARTFELT THANKS OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS, REPRESENTING THE CITIZENS OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FOR THE SPECIAL EFFORTS YOU HAVE EXERTED ON THIS IMPORTANT AND FAR REACHING COMMITTEE. THE WORK OF THIS COMMITTEE WILL HAVE LONG—RANGE AND WIDE— SPREAD EFFECTS ON THE FUTURE OF THIS COUNTY. WE HOPE EACH OF YOU HAVE FOUND THIS VOLUNTEER ASSIGNMENT TO BE BOTH A CHALLENGING AND REWARDING EXPERIENCE. IT IS HEARTWARMING AND GRATIFYING TO ELECTED OFFICALS TO RECEIVE THIS TYPE OF ENTHUSIASM AND SUPPORT FROM CITIZENS WHO ARE REQUESTED TO PERFORM A SPECIAL SERVICE FOR THEIR GOVERNMENTAL BODY. THANK YOU, FROM EACH OF US, FOR ACCEPTING THE ASSIGNMENT AND PRESENTING US WITH AN OUTSTANDING REPORT." SEP 31975 neck ..23 RAGE 27
