JAN 2 01�92 <br />down 14 days because of a problem with the diesel <br />transmission. <br />Discussion continued as to the fact that a considerable <br />amount of money is involved in this purchase. <br />On Motion made by Commissioner Fletcher, seconded by <br />Commissioner Lyons, the Board unanimously agreed to postpone <br />awarding of the bid under discussion and instructed the <br />Purchasing Deparment to determine if there are any other <br />sources for a Landfill compactor. <br />Administrator Nelson brought to the Board's attention <br />the truck needed for Lynn Williams, Supervisor of Building <br />Maintenance, and reported that he would like to take a look <br />at the operation of a 6 cylinder enginer vs. an 8 cylinder. <br />Considerable discussion ensued as to the economy of a <br />smaller engine in a heavier truck, whether a heavier truck <br />is justified, etc., and the Administrator stated that he <br />would get an expert in this field to make a presentation. <br />REPORT ON TRANSPORTATION PLANNING COMMITTEE MEETING <br />Commissioner Fletcher reported that at the <br />Transportation Planning Committee meeting a recommendation <br />was made to delete Indian River Boulevard and the future <br />bridges from the proposed Thoroughfare Plan and accept the <br />plan as it is; the map voted on.previously would remain the <br />same with these deletions. The reasoning behind this <br />recommendation was that since the Master Plan would be <br />reviewed every five years and there was no feasible way to <br />accomplish these items in that time, they should be removed <br />from the map in order not to confuse future developers. <br />Engineer Davis explained that only the unconstructed <br />portion of Indian River Boulevard would be deleted. He felt <br />the intent was to study the need for the bridges etc., in <br />more detail before making a specific recommendation, but'to <br />adopt the Thoroughfare Plan with the deletions in the <br />interim. <br />
