NOV 21983 <br />so 5 ?Ag2.4 <br />Commissioner Scurlock felt there had been a lot of <br />misunderstanding and that the whole situation had gotten out <br />of hand when Mr. Nuzie announced his retirement. He stated <br />that he had received many calls in regard to the possibility <br />of the Sheriff's Dept. taking over the Civil Defense Dept. <br />and he had to explain to them that the matter has yet to <br />come before the Board. <br />Commissioner Wodtke suggested that we fill Mr. Nuzie's <br />position very soon in order to send the new man to represent <br />Indian River County at the forthcoming nuclear exercise <br />which will be attended by people from all over the world. <br />Mr. Wilford Deeds, Civil Defense volunteer, expressed <br />his relief that the Sheriff's Dept. would not be taking over <br />the Civil DefenseDept. He hoped that an independent person <br />would be chosen to fill Mr. Nuzie's position and not a <br />political person. Mr. Needs believed we all owe Mr. Nuzie a <br />great deal of appreciation for all the years he has put in. <br />Mr. Wayne Kroegel stated that he has been associated <br />with the Civil Defense Dept. for the -last few years and has - <br />worked with the nuclear exercises; he continued that he has <br />never seen such a dedicated group of volunteers or a more <br />dedicated man than Mr. Nuzie as a Civil Defense Director. <br />He felt that Mr. Nuzie with his indepth background should be <br />consulted in the appointment of a new director, and <br />expressed the belief that Mr. Nuzie is disappointed because <br />he has not been consulted regarding his replacement. <br />Administrator Wright explained that staff have just <br />begun to evaluate the applicants. He also wanted to explain <br />that they didn't single out the Civil Defense Dept. as they <br />have been going through all the county departments. <br />Apparently, it is felt that this department is operating <br />well. <br />fl <br />n: <br />_I <br />
