SEP 2 6 1984 <br />BOOK '8 F°E 480 <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons, SECONDED <br />by Commissioner Bowman, the Board unanimously <br />adopted Resolution 84-69, amending the GDU <br />water and sewer franchise agreement to in- <br />crease the main extension service availability <br />charges and adopt the main extension service <br />availability policy. <br />RESOLUTION 84-69 will be made a part of the Minutes when <br />completed and received. <br />PRIMARY CARE PROGRAM INITIATIVE <br />Dr. Tucker, County Health Director, came before the <br />Board to discuss the request for proposals for Primary Care <br />Program Initiative issued by the HRS. He explained that <br />late in the term the Legislature approved ten million <br />dollars for this program to be funded through County Health <br />Units, and they require an expression of support by the <br />County Commissions, which would be evidenced by signing of a <br />Letter of Intent. <br />Dr. Tucker continuedfreported that currently Indian <br />River County has only the bare bones minimum of a primary <br />care program which is federally funded through Florida <br />Community Health Centers, and this is very limited and <br />inadequate in the judgment of people in the field. It now <br />appears, however, that funds recently appropriated for the <br />so-called Wabasso project have been rescinded, and <br />therefore, a Primary Care Program is very badly needed. <br />Although the funding level is inadequate, Dr. Tucker felt it <br />is a step in the right direction and a chance to get some- <br />thing started. He noted that if we are late in submitting a <br />plan, we will be in the position of grabbing what is left, <br />and that is why the urgency to sign the Letter of Intent. <br />
