Chairman Scurlock advised Mr. Stegkemper that the <br />Commissioners are on record as being concerned that the <br />range at the airport is not open to the public. There is an <br />interest in what Mr. Stegkemper is proposing as there is a <br />definite safety problem with people going out to the various <br />ditch banks and firing high-powered rifles and pistols <br />without proper supervision. Commissioner Scurlock felt that <br />if we create a gun range we would want to do it so that it <br />is safe and it is done in a professional manner. He <br />suggested that Mr. Stegkemper's presentation be given before <br />the Parks and Recreation Committee and their recommendation <br />be brought back to the Board. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Lyons, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Bowman, that the Board <br />refer this matter to the Parks & Recreation <br />Committee. <br />Commissioner Wodtke, referring to the property proposed <br />by Mr. Stegkemper, recalled that we went through this years <br />ago on the Property Appraisal Adjustment Board, and he did <br />not know how much of the 91 acres should be utilized as a <br />park. He felt the proposed property does have some <br />potential as it ties into our Oslo Boat ramp where we are in <br />dire need of parking area. It might be that the County has <br />some other land that could be used for an exchange. <br />William Stevenson, who started the Sea Cadet program in <br />Vero Beach, advised that the program now offers the cadets <br />the opportunity to shoot for records, and he takes them down <br />to a range down in St. Lucie County once a month. It would <br />be of great assistance to him to have a place to go in our <br />County to teach the cadets how to handle a gun properly. <br />56 <br />AUG 8 1984 Boa 57 F,,i- 943 <br />
