-I <br />JAN 61992 8 PaSE79 <br />. <br />Commissioner Lyons felt the Board members should <br />volunteer some time to attend the hearings, and indicate <br />what the Board's position was to Mr. Thompson. He felt that <br />it was important for the Board members to be present at the <br />hearings and volunteer to be heard on appropriate matters. <br />Motion was made by Commissioner Lyons, seconded by <br />Commissioner Wodtke, that the Board authorize the <br />Commissioners to follow the request of the Association of <br />County Commissioners and attend the hearings in connection <br />with legislation involving this County. <br />Commissioner Wodtke pointed out that the cost of <br />the airline tickets and per diem might be a problem with the <br />auditors. He wanted to be sure the Board would be acting in <br />the framework of what they could legally do. <br />William Koolage, interested citizen, approached <br />the Board and felt a roll call vote should be taken on this <br />matter as he had a problem with increasing the taxes. He <br />did not think the Board had the justification to lobby on <br />this matter. <br />Commissioner Lyons withdrew his Motion, and <br />Commissioner Wodtke withdrew his second. <br />After some discussion, it was determined that the <br />Administrator would contact Tallahassee for a copy of the <br />draft of the 1/2 cent local option sales tax bill dor the <br />Board to review and reconsider at a later date. <br />UNEMPLOYMENT OFFICE <br />Commissioner Lyons expressed concern about having <br />the unemployment office remain in Vero Beach. <br />Motion was made by Commissioner Lyons, seconded by <br />Commissioner Wodtke, that the Board adopt Resolution 82-5 <br />urging the Governor of Florida to maintain the Vero Beach <br />Branch of the State Employment Service. <br />A brief discussion ensued. <br />61 <br />
