THESE GOALS INCLUDE A MULTI -FUNCTION BUILDING WHICH WOULD BE MADE AVAILABLE, UNDER COLLEGE CONTROL, TO THE USE OF THE COMMUNITY, I.E., LECTURE SERIES, AUDUBON SOCIETY, ETC., AND THE AVAILABILITY OF A STRUCTURE OF THAT MAGNITUDE ON THE BEACH SHOULD HAVE A TREMENDOUS IMPACT ON OUR COMMUNITY.

WHERE THE COLLEGE AND THE COUNTY WILL WORK TOGETHER AND FUNCTION TOGETHER FOR THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY AND COMMITS THE ENTIRE PROPERTY, F.I.T.'S AND THE COUNTY'S, TO BE USED FOR EDUCATIONAL AND RECREATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY.

COMMISSIONER WODTKE INQUIRED IF WE ARE PAST THE PERIOD WHEN ANYONE ELSE CAN MAKE AN APPLICATION FOR THIS PROPERTY, AND ATTORNEY COLLINS STATED THAT THERE ARE ONLY TWO VESTED APPLICATIONS - ONE IS THE COUNTY'S AND ONE IS F.I.T."S.
