Bureau of Comprehensive Planning <br />Page 2 <br />October 20, 1976 <br />4. Computer: It was mentioned at the Public Hearing in Orlando and <br />the workshop session on "Land Development" that the State should <br />develop criteria formulas to assist the County and local governments <br />to determine impact of developments. We hold to the theory that <br />the State should involve itself only in the collection, storage and <br />distribution of data via computer and leave analysis to local govern- <br />ment. Bad decisions based on computer data is one thing. Bad <br />decisions by local officials can be rectified at the voting polls. <br />But we've never hear of a computer being voted out of office. <br />Please keep our Planning Department on your mailing and meeting invitation <br />list so that we can work closely together in the coming year. <br />Yours truly, <br />W.W Siebert, Chairman <br />County Commission <br />VEB:ljo <br />cc: Clif Guillet <br />Sam Shannon <br />ATTORNEY COLLINS DISCUSSED THE ADOPTION OF A RESOLUTION IN REGARD <br />TO THE INDIAN RIVER COUNTY EMERGENCY OPERATION PLAN AND STATED THAT HE IS <br />NOT SURE IT IS NECESSARY AND THAT HE COULD NOT INFORM THE BOARD AS TO THE <br />FULL IMPACT OF SIGNING THE RESOLUTION. HE NOTED THAT IT SEEMS TO INDICATE <br />THAT WE ARE NOT IN COMPLIANCE AND SUGGESTED THAT POSSIBLY THIS IS BECAUSE <br />OF HAVING A PART-TIME DIRECTOR OF CIVIL DEFENSE. <br />COMMISSIONER WODTKE INFORMED THE BOARD THAT THE STATE REQUIRES <br />EACH COUNTY TO HAVE A CIVIL DEFENSE PLAN, AND IT MUST BE SUBMITTED TO THE <br />STATE AND APPROVED BY THE BOARD. HE NOTED THAT FORMER CIVIL DEFENSE DIREC- <br />TOR, EDWARD .JACKSON, HAD WRITTEN A PLAN WHICH WAS NEVER APPROVED. LEE <br />NUZIE, THE NEW DIRECTOR, UPDATED THE PLAN AND IT STILL WAS NOT APPROVED, <br />SO HE COMPLETELY CHANGED IT AND IS NOW SUBMITTING IT TO THE BOARD FOR AP- <br />PROVAL. <br />DISCUSSION FOLLOWED ON POSSIBLY APPROVING THE PLAN AND NOT SIGN- <br />ING THE RESOLUTION. <br />ATTORNEY COLLINS STATED THAT THE STATUTES DO NOT CALL FOR THE <br />PLAN TO BE ADOPTED BY RESOLUTION. <br />AFTER FURTHER DISCUSSION, IT WAS DECIDED THAT THE CIVIL DEFENSE <br />PLAN SHOULD BE REVIEWED FURTHER BEFORE -BEING APPROVED, AND CHAIRMAN SIEBERT <br />INSTRUCTED THAT IT BE PUT ON THE AGENDA FOR THE NEXT MEETING. <br />61 <br />~OCT 2 01976 <br />Boot 27 -x::141 <br />
