COMMISSIONER MASSEY SAID HE HAD NOTHING TO REPORT IN REGARD TO A NEW VETERANS SERVICE OFFICER, EXCEPT THAT IT IS PROBABLY A LARGER JOB THAN WE HAD ORIGINALLY THOUGHT, AND HE WONDERED IF ANYONE HAD CHECKED WITH MRS. RYALL TO SEE IF SHE WILL CONTINUE HELPING OUT ON THE SAME BASIS AS SHE IS MAR 101976 NOW. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT DID NOT KNOW THAT ANYONE HAD, BUT FELT THIS SHOULD BE DONE AS A MATTER OF COURTESY, COMMISSIONER WODTKE REPORTED THAT OUR RESOLUTION IN REGARD TO THE "911" PROGRAM HAD BEEN SENT TO TALLAHASSEE, AND HE HAD RECEIVED A LETTER FROM LIEUT. GOVERNOR WILLIAMS DISCUSSING FINANCING THE COST OF IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS SYSTEM IN 29 COUNTIES. HE STATED THAT HE HAD WRITTEN THE LIEUT.
