AFTER FURTHER DISCUSSION, THE CHAIRMAN INSTRUCTED ADMINISTRATOR .JENNINGS TO CONTACT THE INDIAN RIVER FARMS WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT TO DETERMINE HOW MUCH OF THEIR RIGHT-OF-WAY WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR ROAD PUR- POSES. THE MATTER OF WHETHER OR NOT TO ACCEPT THE DEED OFFICIALLY THEN AROSE, AND THE BOARD DECIDED NOT TO ACCEPT IT AT THIS TIME. COMMISSIONER DEESON BROUGHT UP THE MATTER OF THE DRAINAGE DITCH PROBLEM IN ROSELAND, WHICH HAS BEEN DISCUSSED AT PREVIOUS MEETINGS. ADMINISTRATOR JENNINGS INFORMED THE BOARD THAT HE HAS BEEN WORKING WITH SURVEYORS MARVIN CARTER AND PETE MUSICK ON THIS PROBLEM AND PRESENTED PROFILES SHOWING HOW THEY WOULD RECOMMEND CLEANING OUT CERTAIN AREAS SHOWN ON THE PROFILE IN RED AND DROPPING PART OF THE DITCH DOWN WHICH WILL CAUSE THE WATER TO FLOW BACK TO THE NATURAL DRAIN GOING SOUTH INTO COLLIER CR=EK. HE DISCUSSED POSSIBLY GETTING A TEMPORARY EASEMENT TO CLEAN THE CREEK OUT, BUT NOTED THAT JUST HAVING THE WATER COMING IN THERE WOULD HELP THE SITUA- TION. THE ADMINISTRATOR CONTINUED THAT IF WE COULD STAY ON THE AREA THAT HAS BEEN CLEANED OUT BY THE COUNTY, WE WOULD BE ON EXISTING EASEMENTS, BUT THEN WOULD HAVE TO GO OVER ONTO MR. KIRRIE'S PROPERTY AND THE REAL PROBLEM IS THAT THERE ARE TWO SUBDIVISIONS THAT OVERLAP EACH OTHER AND YOU CANNOT DETERMINE WHO OWNS WHAT. DISCUSSION FOLLOWED, AND THE ADMINISTRATOR STATED HE FELT WE SHOULD FLAG THE AREA TO SHOW THE PEOPLE WHAT WE ARE GOING TO DO. COMMISSIONER DEESON POINTED OUT THAT IF WE CAN'T GET MR. KIRRIE'S PERMISSION TO GO ON HIS PROPERTY, THERE REALLY ISN'T MUCH POINT TO DOING THE CLEANING. ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER DEESON, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER SCHMUCKER, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY AUTHORIZED THE ADMINISTRATOR TO CARRY OUT HIS RECOMMENDATIONS AND CONTACT MR. KIRRIE AND MRS. HANSON IN THIS REGARD. COMMISSIONER SCHMUCKER BROUGHT UP THE CEMETERY PROBLEM IN GIFFORD AND NOTED THAT ATTORNEY COLLINS HAD SAID THAT THE GIFFORD CEMETERY ACROSS FROM THE SCHOOL IS A DEFUNCT NON-PROFIT CORPORATION AND THE ONLY WAY TO OBTAIN OWNERSHIP WOULD BE TO CONDEMN IT. 39 Ju 6 1971 Oa 0 PAGE L--"
