MR. LINER FELT THERE COULD BE A CONSIDERABLE SOURCE OF WATER AND WISHED TO HAVE PERMISSION TO EXPLORE IT. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. IT WAS VOTED ON AND CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. COMMISSIONER WODTKE INFORMED THE BOARD THAT NO CENSUS FIGURES HAVE BEEN RECEIVED FOR LOCAL REVIEW AS YET, AND ARRANGEMENTS SHOULD BE MADE TO REVIEW THESE FIGURES WHEN THEY DO COME IN. HE STATED THAT HE WOULD LIKE PERMISSION TO HANDLE THIS MATTER WITH THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT'S ASSISTANCE AND REPORT BACK TO THE BOARD WHEN THE FIGURES ARE RECEIVED. ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER WODTKE, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER LYONS, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY AUTHORIZED THE ADMINISTRATOR TO AUTHOR- IZE THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT TO ASSIST THE BOARD WITH THE LOCAL CENSUS REVIEW WHEN THE FIGURES ARE RECEIVED. COMMISSIONER WODTKE INFORMED THE BOARD THAT WE HAVE HAD A RESIGNATION FROM OUR RECENT APPOINTEE TO THE MENTAL HEALTH BOARD DISTRICT NO. 9, MR. BUCHANAN. COMMISSIONER WODTKE WENT ON TO EXPLAIN THAT THERE IS A GREAT DEAL OF CONTROVERSY INVOLVED WITH THIS BOARD AT THIS PARTICULAR TIME. HE BELIEVED IT IS POSSIBLE THAT ST. LUCIE COUNTY MAY BE TAKEN TO COURT IN REGARD TO THEIR NOT FUNDING CERTAIN LEVELS OF THE MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAM, AND BECAUSE OF ALL_THIS, HE DID NOT FEEL HE COULD ASK ANYONE TO TAKE ON THE JOB BECAUSE OF THE ATMOS- PHERE AND THE PROBLEMS. HE FURTHER FELT THAT IT WOULD BE BENEFICIAL TO HAVE THE COUNTY REPRESENTED BY A COMMISSIONER AND STATED THAT HE WOULD BE WILLING TO VOLUNTEER TO DO THIS FOR A CERTAIN PERIOD OF TIME. ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER DEESON, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER Loy, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY ADOPTED RESOLUTION 80-57 APPOINTING COMMISSIONER WODTKE AS THE COUNTY'S REPRESENTATIVE TO THE MENTAL HEALTH BOARD DISTRICT NO. 9 AND INSTRUCTED THAT THE ADMINISTRATOR FORWARD COPY OF SAID RESOLUTION TO THIS BOARD AND ALSO TO THE MENTAL HEALTH CENTER IN FORT PIERCE. 113 80ox 43 715 JUN 4 1980
