Commissioner Scurlock inquired what the City of Vero Beach <br />agreed to do, and Mrs. Crews reported that the City last night <br />accepted the Historical Society's request for $44,000 which will <br />cover the cost of the "cutouts" for the landscaping, changing of <br />w <br />the entrance, etc. She explained that the entire triangle is <br />involved, which is quite a large area, and it includes the strip <br />along the railroad tracks. <br />Chairman Lyons asked if they have the trees, and Mrs. Crews <br />stated that they will purchase some and some have been donated. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Scurlock, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, to contribute <br />$2,500 to the Historical Society for the above <br />endeavor from the fund we have established where <br />we fine those who have taken out trees illegally. <br />Commissioner Scurlock believed we have a total of about <br />$7,000 in this account. <br />Administrator Wright pointed out that this is a blended <br />account where the land sales monies and park development monies, <br />which is the tree fine money, are put together. He asked if the <br />Board wants these monies kept separate in the future. <br />The Board agreed that these funds should be kept separate in <br />the future. <br />Commissioner Scurlock clarified that the Motion would be to <br />take the money from that particular account, and this would use <br />up a substantial portion of it. He believed we have had a number <br />of requests for landscaping donations. <br />Mrs. Crews pointed out that one of their reasons for coming <br />to the County was that this parking area is used both by the City <br />and by County residents, and in fact, jurors are directed to park <br />there to alleviate the crowding in the County parking lot. <br />Commissioner Scurlock felt that if the County had more <br />money in that fund, we would be glad to donate more. <br />57 <br />OCT 2 1985 BOOK 62 PAGE 347 <br />A <br />
