JUL 5 1985 BOOK CA FAC 41.1 He explained that today's early hour was necessary because Commissioner Bowman must attend a meeting down in Stuart at 10:00 this morning and this looked like the only time we could all get together. He felt we should go ahead and get it over with. Commissioner Bird felt this puts him in a very uncomfortable position and asked if Charles Vitunac has indicated to the City that he might be leaving. Commissioner Scurlock advised that he had talked to Mayor Goff who said that he was pleased that Mr. Vitunac had this opportunity as he realized the County was growing. He also talked with Councilman Gary Parris.yesterday, who said that although they regret losing Mr. Vitunac, they do have a qualified attorney available to them - the Assistant City Attorney, Terry O'Brien. Attorney Brandenburg advised that Mr. Vitunac felt that there would be no problem in his leaving the City. Chairman Lyons asked Attorney Brandenburg for a continuing commitment as needed in the next few months on some of the more complex issues, and Attorney Brandenburg stated that would go without saying as he would be glad to help out in any way he could. Commissioner Bird planned to vote for the Motion because he did not want his negative vote to be misconstrued to mean that he opposed the selection of Mr. Vitunac; however, he still preferred that the appointment be made at next Wednesday's meeting. Chairman Lyons believed that Gary Brandenburg has served the County well in establishing a full-fledged County Attorney's office and, while he had hoped that he would stay one more year, he understood why he could not turn down the Palm Beach position. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. The Motion was voted on and carried unanimously. (CONTRACT WILL BE MADE A PART OF THE RECORD PMEY FULLY F..XFCUTFD AND RECEIVED)
