these renovations have been completed and the courtroom is <br />ready for occupancy. <br />Veterans Service Officer Jerry Cook came before the <br />Board in behalf of the Disabled American Veterans to <br />introduce Commander Robert Clark who wrote the following <br />letter: <br />TO: CFIAI101AN DATE: 8 Sep 82 FILE: <br />BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br />Indian Ruver County <br />SUBJECT: Request to be Heard <br />FROM: DISABLED A=, i is w-,TERAuREFERENCES: <br />CHAPTER 34 <br />Vero Beach, Florida 32960 <br />1. It has been brought to our attention that the (former) Welfare and <br />County Veterans Services Office is to be discussed on the agenda of the <br />meeting scheduled for Wednesday, 15 September 1982. The building now <br />houses the. (sometime) offices of COUlV'TY JUDGE GRAHAM W. STI=H=11, JZ, <br />and it is our understanding that he desires'to continue using this <br />building for an indeterminate period. <br />2. Inasmuch as this organization has requested to lease the same building; <br />and had ostensible approval of the Board of County Commissioners, with <br />only the "term of the lease" to be decided and approved - and then with- <br />drawn to permit the use of the building by the aforementioned JUDGE <br />S.0 THER- it is our desire' to be heard on this issue. <br />3.. While it is realized that the Board of County Commissioners has not <br />one scintilla of obligation to furnish the Disabled American Veterans <br />quarters for our meetings or our Bingo Games, or our Bar, or our church <br />meetings, or our open.bible rituals - or for anything for that matter; <br />it is felt that one's word should be his bond - whether as a group or <br />singly - and we feel that this has not been the end result of our request <br />for use of this building, the totality of the issue at hand. <br />4. It certainly was not the obligation of the.Vero Bea c h"* y Council to <br />give (outright) to the Veterans of Foreign Wars the acre,4o prince land <br />that now houses that entity. Yet, this organization now is comfortably <br />and permanently ensconced in these donated quarters. We did not ask <br />for a donation, as we offered to pay every utility bill for the building, <br />plus, what we believed to be a reasonable offer, rental to -the coffers <br />of our county. <br />5. One spokesman will b- dl�sign.ated, and will require approximately 15 <br />minutes to place our sentiments on record. <br />6. Please advise. <br />.1 <br />ROBERT S.
