PUBLIC DISCUSSION ITEM - Tommy McDoUGALD TO DISCUSS <br />ALCOHOL AND DRUG PROGRAMS <br />Tommy McDougald, a resident of Vero Beach, claimed the half a million tax <br />dollars used to fund alcohol and drug programs are not being distributed or utilized <br />properly.

Some programs <br />have a dictator running the programs and receiving a salary with no knowledge of what the <br />need is for the pain. He maintained that if we manage these dollars properly within the <br />programs, we can reduce alcohol and drug use and save tax dollars. He asked the Board to <br />review these programs. <br />CONSENSUS was to go to Item 11.C. at this time. <br />10.
