FEB 251981 soon 45 PAc€ 917 CHAIRMAN LYONS AGREED THAT THERE IS A BASIC QUESTION INVOLVED AS TO WHY WE SHOULD.GIVE COUNTY PROPERTY, WHICH HAS VALUE, TO THE SCHOOL BOARD WHICH HAS ITS OWN TAXING AUTHORITY. COMMISSIONER FLETCHER SUGGESTED THAT HE DISCUSS THIS WITH MAYOR SUIT AND GET A LITTLE MORE IN-DEPTH BACKGROUND. HE NOTED THAT HE KNEW OF A RIECE OF PROPERTY IN ROSELAND WHICH THE SCHOOL BOARD OWNS THAT THE COUNTY MIGHT POSSIBLY WANT. CHAIRMAN LYONS FELT IF THE COUNTY COMES OUT WITH A PIECE OF PROPERTY EQUIVALENT TO WHAT WE NOW HAVE, THAT WOULD BE FINE, BUT HE DID NOT FEEL WE SHOULD JUST GIVE THE PROPERTY AWAY TO ANOTHER TAXING BODY. HE ASKED IF THE BOARD WISHED COMMISSIONER FLETCHER TO PURSUE THIS MATTER, AND THEY AGREED THAT THEY DID WISH HIM TO PURSUE IT BECAUSE WHILE WE ARE SYMPATHETIC TO THE SCHOOL BOARDS PROBLEM, MORE ANSWERS ARE NEEDED. COORDINATOR THOMAS NOTED THAT HE HAD OPPOSED GIVING AWAY THE SUBJECT PROPERTY AT ONE TIME IN THE PAST BECAUSE IT IS THE ONLY PIECE OF PROPERTY WE OWN OF ANY CONSEQUENCE IN THE FELLSMERE AREA, AND HE FELT IT COULD PROBABLY HAVE A USE IN THE FUTURE. PROPOSED PUBLIC SAFETY ADVISORY COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN LYONS ASKED FOR THE BOARDS COMMENTS ON HIS ROUGH DRAFT OF A RESOLUTION FOR A PROPOSED PUBLIC SAFETY ADVISORY COMMITTEE. COMMISSIONER WODTKE SUGGESTED EXPANDING THE PROPOSED DUTIES OF SUCH A COMMITTEE TO INCLUDE WORKING WITH THE CIVIL DEFENSE OPERATION ON THEIR OVERALL LONG RANGE PLANS AND THEREBY AVOID DUPLICATION. HE NOTED THEY HAVE TO DEVELOP AN EMERGENCY NUCLEAR DISASTER PLAN, HURRI- CAN EVACUATION PLANS, ETC. CHAIRMAN LYONS AGREED THIS WAS A GOOD SUGGESTION AND ALSO FELT THAT SUCH A COMMITTEE WOULD BE A.GOOD GROUP TO TRY TO SOLVE THE 911 PROBLEM. DISCUSSION FOLLOWED ABOUT CITIZENS COMING TO SUCH A COMMITTEE WITH COMPLAINTS, AND IT WAS NOTED THAT THE SHERIFF, WHO IS A CONSTITU- TIONAL OFFICER, HAS HIS OWN.GUIDELINES RELATING TO THIS. � � r 77
