Chairman Davis suggested that the County, at some point, present to Indian River Shores <br />the option of their taking over the Tracking Station Beach. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Vice Chairman Flescher, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Solari, to approve Option <br />B, to have full double lifeguard coverage at all five (5) <br />beaches. <br />Commissioner Wheeler reiterated his support for Option C, and his opposition to dipping <br />into the contingency funds this early in the year. <br />The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION, and by a 2-3 <br />vote, the MOTION DIED (Commissioners Davis, <br />O'Bryan and Wheeler opposed). <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner O'Bryan, <br />SECONDED by Vice Chairman Flescher, for discussion, <br />to approve Option C, double coverage at most beaches and <br />modified double coverage at Treasure Shores and Golden <br />Sands, with the addition of one (1) part-time lifeguard at <br />$14,000. <br />Chairman Davis supported Commissioner O'Bryan's Motion, believing it would give the <br />County the opportunity to see whether or not Option C was workable. <br />Joe Martorana, Indian River Shores, related an incident which occurred at the Tracking <br />Station Beach, showing that emergencies may happen when least expected, and illustrating the <br />importance of the lifeguards to public safety. <br />27 <br />October 6, 2009 <br />
