r <br />,DEC 161991 aox 8 wr402 <br />PURCHASE OF VOTING MACHINES <br />Chairman Lyons informed the Board that Rosemary Richey, <br />Supervisor of Elections, received a call from Brevard County <br />reporting that they no longer need their machines, and we <br />can get them very reasonably —possibly $100-150. apiece. <br />Mrs. Richey feels she has enough money to cover this and she <br />would like to be authorized to spend up to $3,000 for voting <br />machines from Brevard County. <br />Some discussion ensued re the possibility of going to <br />computers in the future. Commissioner Wodtke felt that as <br />long as we have the space to store the machine, we should go <br />ahead. -These machines apparently are compatible with ours, <br />and he believed it is a tremendous opportunity. The reason <br />the Supervisor of Elections may need more machines is based <br />on a state formula requiring a certain number of machines <br />based on population. <br />On Motion by Commissioner Scurlock, seconded by <br />Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously a budget transfer <br />enabling the Supervisor of Elections to expend up to $3,000 <br />for the purchase of used voting machines from Brevard <br />County. <br />REPORT ON TRANSPORTATION PLANNING COMMITTEE MEETING <br />Commissioner Wodtke reported that the Committee has <br />discussed a thoroughfare plan which has been worked on by <br />staff and the technical aspect of the committee, and he <br />believed they have a recommendation re road classifications. <br />Administrator Nelson believed that although technically <br />this is a good plan, there is a need for further work to <br />relate it to the existing right-of-way problems as some of <br />the roads would be impossible to build under present <br />circumstances. <br />Commissioner Wodtke gave a brief review of some of the <br />suggestions made re road classifications, i.e., primary <br />collectors'as opposed to arterial roads, noting that we do <br />not want to have to maintain the Merrill Barber Bridge and <br />Ag <br />
