- W W <br />concern about using Racetrack Funds as a pledge for a special <br />type facility. He urged that M.G.Lewis and our financial people <br />explore every possible avenue other than using entitlement funds <br />and stated that he would like, as far as possible, to escrow <br />enough money to release this pledge, even if it might cost more, <br />and see what we can do not to use this entitlement money which he <br />felt should be used for necessities. Commissioner Wodtke con- <br />tinued to discuss the advisability of the county keeping control <br />of the course, its operation, etc., and stated that he would like <br />the existing committee to continue to be an advisory committee <br />and have a positive relationship between the committee and the <br />Commission. He emphasized his support of a public golf course <br />and believed we can have a really superior golf course. <br />Commissioner Bird personally thanked the members of the <br />committee for their efforts and stated that he was happy to hear <br />the Commission say they might keep this committee as an advisory <br />type committee. <br />Chairman Lyons commented that he has been very conservative <br />about this project, and he hoped that the maintenance figures and <br />income projections are sufficiently conservative so there is no <br />question this is going to be an enterprise that supports itself. <br />Commissioner Bird stated that he also had personal reserva- <br />tions about revenues at first, but feels much more comfortable <br />with this today than he did a year ago before having the National <br />Golf Foundation figures. <br />THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. <br />it was voted on and carried unanimously. <br />Gerald Ashcraft, on behalf of the Golf Study Committee and <br />the golfers in Indian River County thanked the Commission for the <br />decision made today and then presented all the Commissioners with <br />golf hats. <br />45 <br />BOOK I P' I1 9 <br />
