agreement with the Forestry Department that says they will <br />develop and maintain the park; they do not have enough money <br />to hold up their end of the bargain, and he felt we should <br />write the Governor, enclosing a copy of the agreement, to <br />make him aware that the State Agency is not able to keep up <br />their end of the agreement. Commissioner Bird reported that <br />the camping fees collected, which are sent to Tallahassee, <br />amount to approximately $3,500 yearly. He felt we certainly <br />would like to see those camping fees remain in the park, <br />plus whatever additional fees are needed. Another thing <br />very obvious is that regardless of what we spend, we will be <br />throwing the money away unless we make provision for full <br />time supervision and maintenance. We need a gate structure <br />to secure the park and provide a check-in and check-out <br />situation and this needs to be manned on a 24 hour basis. <br />The Forestry Division cannot do this since they must be able <br />to leave to fight fires when necessary. Commissioner Bird <br />emphasized that we have an agreement with the State which is <br />not being honored, and at present the park is a disgrace to <br />the county and the state. <br />On Motion by Commissioner Lyons, seconded by <br />Commissioner Wodtke, the Board unanimously authorized the <br />Chairman to sign an appropriate letter to the Governor as <br />recommended by the Parks & Recreation Committee. <br />SOUTH COUNTY FIRE DISTRICT <br />The Chairman announced that a meeting of the District <br />Board of Fire Commissioners of the South Indian River County <br />Fire District would be held promptly upon adjournment of the <br />meeting of the Board of County Commissioners. <br />45 <br />49 <br />APR 14 1982 EBF 3g9 <br />
