<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED <br />by Commissioner Lowther, the Board unanimously <br />continued the public hearing to 9:05 a.m. at the Board’s <br />regular meeting of Tuesday, November 9, 2004. <br /> <br />9.B.1. PUBLIC DISCUSSION ITEM – BRIAN T. HEADY – IMPOSITION OF <br />POLICY AFFECTING CITIZEN TAXPAYERS <br /> Deferred. <br /> <br />9.B.2. PUBLIC DISCUSSION ITEM – CHARLES BELL – REGARDING <br />THE USE OF ALCOHOL AT BLUE CYPRESS LAKE PARK <br />Charles Bell <br /> , Blue Cypress Lake resident, complained about the alcohol and drug abusers <br />now using the Lake, preventing families with children from being able to enjoy the park. He noted <br />that he had contacted the Sheriff’s office on several occasions and they did not even check out his <br />complaints. He was particularly concerned about people using intoxicating substances and then <br />driving home on SR-60. He felt the park should be reserved for the use of the good folk of the <br />County and inquired what could be done about the situation. <br /> Chairman Ginn questioned whether the road leading to the park is regularly graded, and <br />Public Works Director Jim Davis stated that it is on the grading schedule but probably has been in <br />bad condition lately due to all the rain. The Chairman emphasized that staff will contact the <br />appropriate departments, as well as the Sheriff’s office. <br /> Discussion ensued regarding possibly paving that road, and Commissioner Adams noted <br />that if the road were paved, more people would be using the park. <br /> Commissioner Adams then mentioned the gorgeous book written about Blue Cypress Lake <br />by Dr. Richard Baker. <br /> <br />AUGUST 17, 2004 19 <br /> <br />
