CONSTRUCTION PROJECT REPRESENTATIVE HERCULES KONTOULAS WAS INSTRUCTED <br />TO CHECK INTO THIS PROBLEM AND MAKE SOME RECOMMENDATIONS. MRS. <br />RICHEY'S LETTER AND MR. KONTOULAS' MEMO OF SEPTEMBER 20TH ARE AS <br />FOLLOWS: <br />VERO BEACH ® FLORIDA 32960 <br />September 18, 1979 <br />TO: CHAIRMAN OF BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSION <br />SUBJECT: VOTING MACHINE WAREHOUSE <br />During the past rainy season the roof has been <br />leaking so bad that the voting machines had to be <br />shoved around and bunched up so as to try to avoid <br />serious damage. We will be getting fifteen more <br />machines within the next month and there will be no <br />space to change around. <br />We have well over one hundred thousand dollars <br />invested in voting machines and should take all pre- <br />cautions to protect investment and protect ourselves <br />against the possibility of a major breakdown of the - <br />working parts of machines. This could happen at a <br />very crucial time and has happened in some tountys <br />in Florida. <br />The two worst enemies of voting machines are dust <br />and dampness. It affects the moving parts of the machine <br />such as counters and other operating parts. <br />We are having problems at the warehouse with both <br />dust and dampness. <br />Since it has been decided that we will not be <br />moving machines to the new annex, I feel that a study <br />should be made of the present warehouse and such repairs <br />and alterations that are deemed necessary should be made. <br />I realize that Florida is going to have problems <br />with dust and dampness but we should take steps to <br />minimize it before it is too late. <br />time. <br />I will be glad to discuss this with you at any <br />Rosemary Richey <br />Supervisor of E77ections <br />OCT 10 1979 13 BOOK 41 FACF641 <br />
