ON MOTION by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner O'Bryan, the Board unanimously approved <br />and directed the Legal staff to prepare a modified <br />Resolution to the membership of the Economic <br />Development Council for representation from the Work <br />Force Development Board of the Treasure Coast, as <br />requested in the memorandum of February 5, 2008. <br />AGREEMENT ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF THE CLERK TO THE BOARD <br />7.H. OUT OF COUNTY TRAVEL FOR COMMISSIONERS AND STAFF TO ATTEND <br />THE 2008 GOVERNOR'S BASEBALL DINNER <br />Commissioner Flescher did not feel that attendance to this dinner would be an <br />educational benefit, but rather a tremendous cost to the taxpayer. <br />Administrator Baird emphasized that this celebration is the Governor's kick-off <br />of spring training statewide. He felt that Indian River County needs to show involvement, that we <br />want to be involved in spring training, we want to attract teams, and we want to keep the economy <br />moving. He thought attendance would be in the County's best interest. <br />Commissioner Wheeler thought that sending Administrator Baird would be a <br />networking tool and would benefit the County. <br />Commissioner O'Bryan concurred with Administrator Baird and Commissioner Wheeler. <br />He felt that it would impart a negative message by not sending Administrator Baird to represent <br />our County, especially since we are in the process of negotiating a future team. He thought that <br />this would be a small investment to make to keep our foot in the door while moving forward. <br />8 <br />February 12, 2008 <br />
