., <br />AUG 17 1983 <br />August 2, 83 RE: <br />Bf�R 5 PAGE 356 <br />Site for new County Jail and Law Enforcement <br />facilities: <br />The undersigned favors and encourages an effort be made to acquire <br />by purchase from the City of Vero Beach, at the lowest possible <br />price, thirty acres of Airport Property, subject to receiving F.A.A. <br />approval. Furthermore I suggest the site be de -annexed from the <br />city if possible. <br />Gary Whe er <br />Past Airport Development Comnittee Chairman <br />Vice Chairman Public Safety Committee <br />Taxpayer of City and County. <br />August 17, 1983 <br />Indian River County Commission <br />1840 25th. St. <br />Vero Beach, Florida <br />RE: COUNTY PURCHASE OF . <br />LAW ENFORCEMENT SITE. <br />Regarding a site for the new Law enforcement complex <br />and jail, I,f.eel it would be most advantageous for <br />the county to fully explore the possibility of using <br />a 30 acre parcel of present airport property. <br />I suggest the same 10 acres you are presently negotiating <br />with the city on, and 20 more acres.adjacent to it, or <br />a 30 acre site in the same area(but across)on the west <br />side of 43rd. Avenue. <br />This project has immense aspects, many public purposes <br />and a big investment of tax monies. I feel the 43rd. <br />Ave. frontage, on either east or west side if a far <br />superior location than others being offered, and the <br />cost basis should be similar or less. <br />Indications to me are that the F.A.A. will not simply': <br />reject this usage request. it also appears that city <br />officials I spoke to will in fact have an open mind and <br />consider a request for a 30 acre site. <br />The Airport belongs to every citizen of this county and <br />city. This new law enforcement facility will belong to <br />every citizen of the county and city. It would seem that <br />anequitable arrangement for use of this land for this <br />public need can be achieved. with the best interest of all <br />taxpayers being served. <br />Resp tful , <br />rank L.Zorc <br />65 <br />
