Mr. Tomlinson thereafter responded to Commissioner O'Bryan's <br />question regarding the proposed operating hours for the health care center. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Wheeler, <br />SECONDED by Vice Chairman Flescher, to approve <br />staff's recommendation, and to contact the City of <br />Sebastian for their interest in participating in the Interlocal <br />Agreement with the City of Vero Beach. <br />Commissioner Wheeler noted that he would be happy to include any of the <br />municipalities or the School Board as partners with the City of Vero Beach and the County; <br />however, he mentioned Sebastian as they had displayed an interest in participating. <br />Commissioner Solari expressed reluctance to move forward with this item, without <br />obtaining the additional financial information which had been requested by three of the <br />Commissioners. <br />Commissioner Wheeler defended his Motion. <br />Administrator Baird suggested that staff handle this matter in a two-step process. <br />He would like to begin working on the Interlocal Agreement with the City of Vero Beach and <br />CareHere, and to return with a full presentation to the Board, which would highlight target <br />savings amounts to be realized by going to the employee health care center. <br />March 3, 2009 40 <br />
