Commissioner Wheeler proposed using the funds as Objective One, and initiating a <br />separate fund for other needs. <br />John Mitchell, Indian River Shores, explained that the intent for the funds was to <br />re -open the pool and he felt that the funds he donated, as well as those he solicited, could be used as <br />the Gifford community saw fit. He suggested splitting the funds. <br />Chairman Bowden told Mr. Mitchell that she would side with him based on what he <br />has done for the Gifford community in years past. <br />Attorney Collins informed the Board that there would be a problem if the donations <br />were restricted, or the language on the checks identified a particular purpose for the money. He <br />told the Board that they have discretion as to how to use the funds. <br />Commissioner O'Bryan voiced concern over the requested marketing plan. He <br />suggested taking the donations, opening the pool, use the $1,000 surplus to start a marketing plan, <br />and to come back for evaluation. <br />Vice Chairman Davis wanted to split the money - half to open the pool, and the <br />remainder to go to the Gifford Pool fund. He wanted the community to manage and evaluate the <br />plan with Mr. Woolfork's leadership. <br />The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and by a vote <br />of 2-3 (Chairman Bowden and Commissioners Davis and <br />Flescher opposed), the MOTION FAILED. <br />21 <br />October 14, 2008 <br />
