BOX 1389 - 1033 - 201b PLACE OFFICE OF THE VERO BEACH, FLORIDA - 32960 January 10, 1979 DIRECTOR OF FINANCE Td*hpn.367-5131 6� ^1�i; . �-: �ao9C•�0 � The Honorable William C. wodtke, Jr. p'h�o q O y Chairman, Board of County Commissioners Post Office Box 1028 Vero Beach, Florida 32960 Off! Dear Mr. Wodtke: Reference is made to the hand delivered copy of the General Fund Invoice of the City of Vero Beach in the sum of $5,081, dated December 26, 1978 with attachments. A review of our files indicates that in July, 1969, the Board of County Commissioners established a Fire Equipment Fund of $15,000 to purchase equipment as necessary for the Vero Beach Fire De- partment. Along with the many expenditures from this €und,during the month of September, 1972, architectural fees were paid for the design of a training tower. It was then anticipated that this training tower would be constructed near the new fire station that was to be built in the vicinity of the Vero Beach Municipal Airport Terminal Building. In support of this activity, on January 10, 1973, the Board of County Com-- •�� missioners authorized an expenditure of $4,000 as seed money to construct this training tower. In June, 1973, modifications to the original plans were made and soil boring tests were completed in the area then intended for the tower. Inasmuch as there were serious objections to the location of the tower, it was felt, in January, 1974, that it would be most pro- pitious to renovate an existing airport building, that was to be adjacent to the then selected fire station site, to be used as a County -wide train- ing facility. This facility was to include classrooms, burn pits and other ancillary aids. At this time, the County authorized the release of the fire tower money to the County -wide training facility because it was to service all fire departments, both paid and volunteer, throughout Indian River County. Consequently, a new roof, a septic tank, concrete work, paneling, lumber, paint and miscellaneous materials were purchased and in- stalled as a part of the modification of this building. Hundreds of hours of volunteer as well as paid time was used by members of the Vero Beach Fire Department to install these materials. 8 PAGE 498 JAN 2 41979 sou
