MAR <br />7 <br />1984 <br />eaex 5-6 FAc� <br />FIRE <br />FIGHTERS PROPOSE CHARTERING INDIAN RIVER COUNTY FAIR <br />Bill Tripp came before the Board to make the presenta- <br />tion for Fire Fighter's Association in regard to the <br />advantages of chartering the Indian River County Fair under <br />Fla. Statute 616, noting that most county fairs throughout <br />the state have done this. Mr. Tripp reported that this <br />year's Fire Fighter's Fair, drew close to 70,000 people, and <br />on Friday night there were 25,000 people in the fairgrounds. <br />Mr. Tripp emphasized that they„have rides and exhibits, <br />etc., and they need to assure that the fair will maintain <br />itself both re money and safety. Under the charter, the <br />Agricultural Department would send inspectors to the grounds <br />three or four days early to check rides, etc.; a charter <br />would also provide that we would not be taxed on the <br />admission, and it would give the County the exclusive right <br />to the name of Indian River County Fair. Mr. Tripp <br />emphasized that many groups in the County have expressed <br />great interest in participating in the fair, having exhibits <br />and various activities etc., but there never has been the <br />acreage available to allow for all this at the Airport <br />property. Mr. Tripp believed that some property at Hobart <br />Park has been considered for a fairground, and the Fire <br />Fighters are asking if the County would be willing to work <br />with them towards gaining a charter for the fair. He noted <br />that they are anxious to get started on this as soon as <br />possible because the charter process takes 3 to 4 months, <br />and it takes 6 or 8 months just to prepare for the next <br />fair. <br />Chairman Scurlock felt basically Mr. Tripp is asking <br />for authorization for our staff and attorney to work with <br />him towards receiving a charter for the County fair. <br />Commissioner Bird stated that he would be happy to work <br />with Attorney Brandenburg and Mr. Tripp on this. <br />26 <br />r <br />
