Robert Ledger, resident of the Highlands, stated that it was <br />his understanding that the easement from the center of the road <br />is 351. He stressed that the vegetation planted on the canal <br />easement between Sunset and Sunrise Drives creates a very <br />dangerous situation because when you pull out, you cannot see the <br />traffic coming west. Mr. Ledger believed this vegetation is on <br />the County's right-of-way and felt this would put the county in a <br />very liable situation. His solution to the problem at the curve <br />was to resurface the road and groove it with anti-skid grooves, <br />and he felt this should be done as soon as possible. <br />Commissioner Scurlock stated that he would schedule this <br />matter for the next Transporation Planning Committee meeting and <br />notify those interested. <br />THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. <br />It was voted on and carried unanimously. <br />DISCUSSION RE EMERGENCY MEDICAL COMMUNICATION SYSTEM <br />Rick Lane came before the Board representing the Indian <br />River County Volunteer Ambulance Squad. He informed the Board <br />that he had a conversation with Director Dean re the use of the <br />new Hobart Tower in regard to becoming involved to help offset <br />the cost of construction of this tower which would serve many <br />county agencies. In a letter they were advised that it would cost <br />the Ambulance Squad $5,000 for a lifetime space allocation on the <br />tower, maintenance, insurance, etc. The letter further stated <br />that the only other cost associated for the Squad would be the <br />purchase of antennas and coaxial cable. After much consideration <br />of the benefits involved for all, the Board of Directors of the <br />Squad, made the $5,000 allocation out of their budget for the <br />space on the tower and almost $4,000 more for purchase of <br />antennas, etc. <br />61 <br />SEP 4 7985 <br />BOOK 61 PAGE 944 <br />
