JUL 14 1982 50 FAC E495" <br />COMMISSIONER FLETCHER CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. <br />It was voted on and carried unanimously. <br />REPORT ON SOUTH COUNTY FIRE ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEETING - <br />Chairman Scurlock discussed the offer made by the town <br />of Indian River Shores to sell their ladder truck to the <br />County for $100,000. He reported that the South County Fire <br />Advisory Committee has instructed their Financial <br />Administrator, Tom Nason, and Fire Chief Forrest Smith to <br />research this matter to determine whether we actually need <br />this truck, and if so, whether this is the piece of <br />equipment that best suits our needs, and report back to the <br />Advisory Committee. The Chairman further noted that a <br />requirement of the agreement with the Indian River Shores <br />Fire Department was that they purchase a tanker truck. They <br />have not, at this point, fulfilled that obligation, and, in <br />fact, have requested that they be allowed to downsize the <br />tanker truck from a 2,500 gallon to a 1,500 gallon capacity. <br />Chief Smith is doing an analysis and will recommend to the <br />Advisory Committee whether they should allow that to happen, <br />or if there is a need to continue on that relationship. <br />Chairman Scurlock then spoke of Mayor Nolan's letter to <br />him which complained of misstatements being made to the <br />Press and reported that he wrote the Mayor pointing out that <br />he does not know in advance what decisions the Advisory <br />Committee will be making, and there is no way he can give <br />the Mayor information in advance as to what the Press will <br />report. <br />LIBRARY GRANT <br />Commissioner Lyons informed the Board that the <br />agreement with the State Division of Library Services re <br />funds for the Library is consistent with past agreements and <br />there is a time limit involved, which is why it was added as <br />an emergency item. <br />50 <br />
