The Chairman called for the question. It was voted on <br />and defeated with a vote of 2 to 3, Commissioners Bird and <br />Wodtke voting in favor of the Motion. <br />Mr. Schlitt then asked the Board for some advice <br />regarding ten acres owned by the Jaycees which they plan to <br />develop into soft ball fields. He continued that they would <br />like to open it up to the County to help create a west side <br />recreational area for young adults and wondered if it would <br />be appropriate to have the County maintain this property. <br />Chairman Scurlock suggested the Jaycees discuss this <br />matter with the Recreation Committee. <br />4 <br />Mr. Schlitt then inquired if the property would have to <br />be deeded to the County to have the County help the Jaycees <br />maintain it. <br />The Attorney did not think this would have to be done. <br />After a brief discussion, the Board suggested that Mr. <br />Schlitt make the wishes of the Jaycees known to the <br />Recreation Committee so this matter could be reviewed at a <br />later date. - <br />WABASSO ISLAND PROPOSAL <br />Commissioner Bird reported that he had been approached <br />I. <br />by Ruth Stanbridge some time ago regarding a possible nature <br />study area; and if he were to come across a suitable piece <br />of property, to keep the Pelican Island Audubon Society in <br />mind for this purpose. He continued that he did come across <br />Wabasso Island, also known as Marsh Island, and reported <br />that the southern part of the island had about 18 acres of <br />uplands that were usable. He then contacted Mrs. Stanbridge <br />and Ray Fernald, and together they spent time looking at the <br />island and they felt this property did hold a great deal of <br />interest for their Society. Commissioner Bird asked Mr. <br />Fernald to put together a proposal to the County of what the <br />Audubon Society had in mind. <br />APR 141982 17 BOOK 9. �� 37 <br />
