confiscated funds, but if these funds are not available next <br />year, what kind of an on-going expense are we looking at. <br />Intergovernmental Relations Director Thomas stated that <br />actually the maintenance of the motors will be done by O.M.C., <br />and our expenses will be mainly fuel and operational expenses. <br />Commissioner Lyons felt there is no question that we need <br />more patrol in the river and that we need beach patrol, but he <br />believed we will have to have a ramp, such as the one in Indian <br />River Shores, in order to handle problems on the County beaches. <br />Commissioner Bird noted that there is a ramp at Round Island <br />Park, but it is built to prohibit use by vehicles. <br />Director Thomas did not feel it would be a problem to modify <br />that ramp to accommodate the proposed vehicle. He concurred that <br />it is important to have the two boats and the other proposed <br />equipment, and did not feel that it has been mentioned that there <br />are people who are trained to assist in this area as auxiliaries. <br />Commissioner Lyons agreed it is important for the deputies <br />to have some backup, and also that auxiliaries would be <br />important, especially in a boating situation. <br />Commissioner Wodtke inquired about being covered for liabil- <br />ity on the auxiliaries, and the Sheriff stated that they fall <br />under their blanket policy. <br />Commissioner Lyons believed this is a necessary patrol and <br />we must find a way to accommodate it. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Lyons, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Bowman, in view <br />of the need, and recognizing that next year <br />this probably will have to be a budget item, <br />to approve the Sheriff's request to use monies <br />from the confiscated funds for Marine and Beach <br />Patrol based on the figures presented today. <br />27 <br />OCT 17 1984 <br />BOOK 58 PA.Cc66 <br />
