John Frazier, Ocean Rescue Lifeguard Captain, described how the memorial <br />would be secured to the new boardwalk for security. He conveyed the wish of the Ocean <br />Lifeguards for the memorial to be placed at Golden Sands Beach, where Mr. Woyshner had <br />spent most of his time. <br />Each Commissioner agreed to the $50.00 contribution to the memorial plaque; <br />however, Administrator Baird interjected that the County's precedent has been to pay the entire <br />cost for this type of item. <br />Although Chairman Bowden would be happy for each Commissioner to contribute <br />to the plaque, she did not want to establish such a policy. She felt that the Board should follow <br />the County's policy, if this has been done before for others — it should also be done now. <br />Commissioner Flescher and Captain Frazier briefly discussed "passing the hat" to <br />establish a scholarship or similar memorial fund. The Board members decided that they would <br />make their personal contributions to the scholarship fund, and have the County purchase the <br />entire memorial. <br />MOTION WAS AMENDED by Commissioner Flescher, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner O'Bryan, to have the <br />County pay the complete costs pertaining to the plaque <br />and the base for the memorial for Bob "Bear" Woyshner; <br />and to afford the Commissioners the opportunity to <br />contribute to the scholarship fund. <br />Commissioner O'Bryan commended the Ocean Rescue Lifeguards for organizing a <br />wonderful "paddle -out" memorial ceremony in honor of Mr. Woyshner. <br />July 15, 2008 12 <br />
