HE FELT THERE NEEDED TO BE SOME SORT OF AN IMPETUS FOR THE PARTIES TO COME TOGETHER BECAUSE COMMUNICATIONS HAD BROKEN DOWN, AND HE ASKED THE CHAIRMAN TO HAVE ONE OF THE COMMISSIONERS HOLD A MEETING WITH THE CONCERNED PARTIES BEFORE THE RECALL VOTE. SINCE COMMISSIONER FLETCHER WAS A MEMBER OF THE LIBRARY BOARD, HE FELT SOME OTHER COMMISSIONER SHOULD MEET WITH THE TWO FACTIONS, AND COMMISSIONER WODTKE VOLUNTEERED. COMMISSIONER WODTKE REPORTED THAT THEY ACTUALLY HAD TWO MEETINGS WHERE HE TRIED TO RELAY THE COMMISSIONS THOUGHTS ABOUT ADDITIONAL.FUNDING, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, ETC. PROBLEMS WERE AIRED, AND THOSE IN ATTENDANCE FELT A PERIOD OF COOLING OFF WOULD BE ADVISABLE WHERE AN ADDITIONAL EFFORT COULD BE MADE TO TAKE A' FAIR AND OBJECTIVE LOOK AT THE GOALS AND REVIEW THEM WITH THE LIBRARIAN. COMMISSIONER 1'IODTKE STATED THAT HE ASKED FOR A PERIOD OF 30 DAYS AND REQUESTED STRONG CONSIDERATION BE GIVEN AS TO NOT GOING THROUGH WITH ANY RECALL. MAYOR GOFF WAS A PARTICIPANT IN THESE DISCUSSIONS. VERO BEACH MAYOR TERRY GOFF FELT IT HAD BEEN A FRUITFUL MEETING WHICH HOPEFULLY WILL MOVE THINGS FORWARD, HIS MAJOR CONCERN WAS WHETHER THE FUNDING STILL WILL BE THERE IF THEY START CHANGING THE GOALS. CHAIRMAN LYONS FELT THERE IS ALWAYS ROOM FOR SOME MOVEMENT, BUT HE WOULD HAVE DIFFICULTY IF THERE WERE ANY MAJOR CHANGES, COMMISSIONER WODTKE BELIEVED THERE IS A FEELING THAT THE TEN GOALS THAT WERE PRESENTED AND APPROVED ARE THE GOALS THAT ARE ATTACHED TO OUR FUNDING. HE FELT THE BOARD IS VERY CONCERNED TO LEARN WHAT THE GOALS ARE FOR THE NEXT YEAR AND WANT SOME ANSWERS BEFORE COMMITTING ANY ADDITIONAL MONEY.
