Dr. Richard Baker <br />, President of the Audubon Society, complimented Mr. DeBlois <br />for a terrific job in this process and commented that he has not gotten the recognition he deserves. <br />He thought Indian River County has one of the best programs in the state and Mr. DeBlois is the <br />key person. We have also had extremely good counsel and paid low interest. He recommended <br />approval of the June 2 bond counsel’s version. <br />th <br /> Ruth Stanbridge <br />County Historian, 4835 66 Avenue, urged the Board to put the <br />nd <br />June 2 version on the ballot and to add the Jones Pier property to the list of properties for <br />acquisition. <br />Mr. DeBlois asked that Mrs. Stanbridge get information to him on Jones Pier. (A <br />copy of the Historical Society Inc.’s letter of May 28, 2004 was given to him and is on file with the <br />backup.) <br />Commissioner Macht urged the public be told of the many success stories on <br />properties the County has already acquired with bond funds and also the significance of each. <br />Bob Johnson <br />, Coral Wind Subdivision, thought it was great that the public will <br />have an opportunity to vote on this bond issue. <br />Tom Lowe <br />, 9115 Massey Road in Wabasso, president of the Indian River Land <br />Trust, echoed the comments of Mrs. Stanbridge and Dr. Baker. The Land Trust now has 600 <br />nd <br />members and also approves of the June 2 bond issue language. He hoped the Board would spend <br />the time and money to ensure the public is informed about this referendum. <br />nd <br />Chairman Ginn recounted that the motion was to approve the June 2 ballot <br />language proposed by bond counsel. <br /> <br />The Chairman CALLED THE QUESTION and the motion <br />nd <br />carried unanimously. (June 2 revision proposed ballot <br />question on page 344 of the backup approved.) <br /> <br />14.A. EMERGENCY SERVICES DISTRICT <br />June 8, 2004 <br />35 <br /> <br />
