THE MUNICIPALITIES, AND HE HAD BELIEVED IF THE PLAN WAS UNSATISFAC- TORY TO THE CITY, THEY WERE GOING TO COME BACK WITH AN ALTERNATIVE. HE FELT IT WOULD BE DOING AN INJUSTICE TO THE COMMUNITY TO SAY THAT ONE GROUP OR ANOTHER DROPPED THE BALL, BUT SO FAR WE HAVE NOT GOTTEN BACK TOGETHER. THE CHAIRMAN CONTINUED THAT HE WOULD BE VERY WILLING TO LISTEN TO ANY ALTERNATIVE THAT WAS PRESENTED WITH THE ENDORSEMENT OF THE WHOLE CITY COUNCIL. MAYOR SCURLOCK COMMENTED THAT THE COUNTY'S CONSULTANTS, SOUTHERN, KELTON & ASSOCIATES, DELIVERED THEIR REPORT IN MARCH OF 1979, AND THE CITY DID RESPOND: THE PLAN WAS NOT TOTALLY ACCEPTABLE, AND THERE WERE CHANGES. HE STATED THAT THEY WERE GIVEN THE IMPRESSION THAT THERE WAS A GREAT POSSIBILITY OF ADDRESSING THE NORTH COUNTY FIRE DISTRICT QUICKLY, AND ONCE THAT PRIORITY WAS DEALT WITH, WE WOULD GET BACK TO WORK ON THE SOUTH COUNTY DISTRICT. MAYOR SCURLOCK INFORMED THE BOARD THAT HE AND CITY COUNCILMAN GREGG HAVE MET WITH THE CITY ADMINISTRATION TO DEVELOP SOME INITIAL FIGURES IN RESPONSE TO THE SOUTHERN KELTON STUDY, AND THEY FEEL THAT THE ORIGINAL COMMITTEE SHOULD BE RECONVENED AND REVIEW THE FIGURES THEY HAVE COME UP WITH IN TERMS OF MILLAGE TO GO INTO A SOUTH COUNTY DISTRICT,WITH OR WITHOUT THE CITY. HE PERSONALLY FELT THAT A UNIFIED SOUTH COUNTY DISTRICT WAS THE BEST ANSWER, EVEN IF THE TOWN OF INDIAN RIVER SHORES DID NOT WISH TO'PARTICIPATE. MR. SCURLOCK REITERATED THAT THE WHOLE ISSUE SHOULD BE RE-EXAMINED BY THE COMMITTEE, AND HE ALSO NOTED THAT A GREATER PARTICIPATION BY BOTH THE VOLUNTEER AND PAID FIREMAN WAS AN IMPORTANT FACTOR. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT STATED THAT HE HAD PROBLEMS WITH USING THE COMMITTEE AND WOULD PREFER THAT THEY TAKE WHAT THEY LIKE OUT OF THE SOUTHERN KELTON STUDY: ADD WHATEVER THEY WISH TO'TIT: PRESENT IT TO THE CITY COUNCIL AND GET THEIR CONSENSUS. THEY CHAIRMAN FELT IN THAT WAY, WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO DEFINE THE AREAS WHERE WE HAVE ANY DIFFICULTY AND THEN GET BACK TOGETHER. COMMISSIONER WODTKE CONCURRED. MAYOR SCURLOCK STATED THAT IF THAT IS WHAT THE COMMISSION DESIRES, IT CAN BE APPROACHED IN THAT MANNER. HE FELT QUITE FRANKLY THERE IS"SOMEWHAT OF A LACK OF COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE ENTITIES. 107 APR 2 31990 o -m 4T' -h4: .
