Newsman Phil Long inquired if any of the lawsuits <br />initiated by the counties to the north and south of Indian <br />River County were successful, would there be a possibility <br />that our boundaries could change? <br />Attorney Brandenburg did not know the answer to this <br />question. The only thing being expressed today was the <br />dissatisfaction of the Board. <br />William Koolage, interested citizen, thought that the <br />Board should find out what the other suits were about, and <br />perhaps the Board should join in with the other lawsuits. <br />Commissioner Bird suggested sending them an alternate <br />plan; one that would make some geographical sense, possibly <br />using Route 60 as a dividing line. <br />Mrs. Richey informed the Board that the First Baptist <br />Church of Winter Beach could be used as a polling place; <br />they had .requested a few loads of marl at that location to <br />improve the area before election time. <br />Commissioner Wodtke suggested the Administrator check <br />into this matter of the marl request and take appropriate <br />action. <br />Motion was made by Commissioner Bird, seconded by <br />Commissioner Fletcher, that the Board have Mrs. Richey look <br />into the possibility of redrawing the lines to have the <br />Route 60 corridor as a boundary, as it would appear that <br />projected and present populations would be balanced north <br />and south of Route 60 in the Congressional District, and <br />that it be made a part of the resolution to be drafted. <br />Commissioner Fletcher interjected that the Board should <br />reconsider the Motion of buying the used voting machines. <br />He stated that the Board should stand up and state their <br />objections to all of this. He noted that he had seen no <br />justification that the recent lines drawn on the County map <br />were equitable. <br />JUN 2,1982 20 "ox PACE87-6 <br />L - _. <br />
