BOX 6250 <br />VERO BEACH. FLOP'_ <br />(305) 562-8575 <br />In recent weeks there has been publicity about the feelings <br />of nersons.regarding consideration of building a new county <br />jail at a new site and "leaving the rundown 18 -year old jail <br />behind"'. <br />Of course I realize you will not laterally just leave the pre- <br />sent facility behind, but a use or disposition will also come <br />into the picture. <br />.Fully realizing that there is no time table to these consider- <br />ations, and it may not happen in years, I would like to be on <br />record of expressing the following. <br />On behalf of the board of directors of St. Francis Manor, <br />we request consideration of obtaining the site, if, and when- <br />ever, it is phased out of use as a jail and or sheriff depart- <br />ment location. <br />The Manor site is immediately adjacent, connected to the west, <br />directly in line. We are now in process of an expansion program <br />adding all the additional apartments our site can accommodate. <br />Although we have no specific plans, one of our hopes or dreams <br />has been to someday include a close by facility to care for <br />elderly residents who gradually, become unable to care for them- <br />selves -(a requirement for residency at the Manor),.and are of <br />course forced into nursing care facilities. We feel it would be <br />a tremendous psvcological advantage, with many benefits, if some <br />of these persons "in-between" good health and total convales- <br />cence could move "next door" into a semi -nursing care facility, <br />and continue living at their home, St. Francis Manor, for <br />several more years in most cases. <br />Thanking you in advance for any considerations you are able <br />to -give us. <br />Respectfully, <br />F.rank� L .
