MAR 10 1976 ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER SCHMUCKER, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER Loy, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED THE USE OF A COUNTY DRAGLINE TO UNLOAD THE CARLOADS OF LIMEROCK AS REQUESTED BY J. LEWIS GREENE, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS FOR THE CITY OF VERO BEACH. ADMINISTRATOR JENNINGS NEXT DISCUSSED THE RECAPPING OF CITRUS ROAD BETWEEN 43RD AVENUE AND RANGELINE ROAD, HE INFORMED THE BOARD THAT THIS WAS ORIGINALLY DONE ON AN EXPERIMENTAL BASIS AND HAS WORKED OUT VERY WELL ON THIS THREE-MILE STRETCH. IN ORDER TO PRESERVE THE ROAD, WE NEED TO PUT ON ANOTHER INCH OF ASPHALT AS WE ARE SIX MONTHS OVER SCHEDULE TO KEEP THE ROAD AS ORIGINALLY INTENDED. HE CONTINUED THAT WE ONLY HAVE MAINTENANCE MONEY IN THE BUDGET, BUT THIS WILL BE MAINTENANCE AND WILL COST ABOUT $50,000 OR BETTER. THE ADMINISTRATOR STATED THAT HE FELT THIS LAYER WOULD LAST EVEN LONGER THAN THE FIRST SINCE THE STUMP DUMP HAS BEEN CLOSED, WHICH ELIMINATES A LOT OF HEAVY TRUCKS USING THE ROAD, AND FELT THE NEXT LAYER WOULD LAST EVEN LONGER. ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER MASSEY, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER Loy, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY AUTHORIZED THE ADMINISTRATOR TO PROCEED WITH THE RE- CAPPING OF CITRUS ROAD BETWEEN 43RD AVENUE AND RANGELINE ROAD IF THE MONEY IS AVAILABLE. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT BROUGHT UP THE MATTER OF HOLDING A WORKSHOP MEET- ING IN SEBASTIAN, AND ASKED THE COMMISSIONERS IF, AFTER CONSIDERATION, THEY HAD ANY OBJECTION TO DOING THIS ON A ONE-TIME BASIS. COMMISSIONER MASSEY STATED THAT IT HAS BEEN DONE IN THE PAST, BUT NOT SUCCESSFULLY, AND HE PERSONALLY FELT COMMISSION MEETINGS SHOULD BE HELD IN THE COMMISSION ROOM. COMMISSIONER WODTKE NOTED THAT THIS IS JUST A WORKSHOP MEETING. COMMISSIONER SCHMUCKER ASKED IF IT WOULD BE HELD IN THE EVENING. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT REPLIED THAT IT PROBABLY WOULD, AND THE CITY COUNCILMEN OF BOTH SEBASTIAN AND FELLSMERE WOULD ATTEND AND QUESTIONS WOULD BE ALLOWED WITH A TIME LIMIT OR COULD BE SUBMITTED BY CARD. COMMISSIONER Loy SUGGESTED THAT CHAIRMAN SIEBERT MIGHT WORK OUT WITH THE MAYOR WHAT SUBJECTS THEY ARE PARTICULARLY INTERESTED IN SO THE MEETING WOULDNIT STRETCH OUT TOO tl LONG, AND IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO BE ABLE TO PREPARE A LITTLE. SHE CONTINUED THAT SHE WOULD LIKE TO SEE US RESPOND TO THIS REQUEST, PARTICULARLY IF SOME TYPE OF AGENDA COULD BE WORKED OUT. 52 ;. ? °a_ : 158
