Bou 63 F,1GE8?1. <br />Chairman Scurlock asked whether the Commissioners have been <br />indemnified as individuals in their roles as Commissioners of the <br />North and South County Fire Districts, and Attorney Vitunac <br />explained that the Commissioners cannot be liable personally if <br />they are acting within the scope of their jobs, unless they are <br />acting with a malicious or criminal intent or guilty of gross <br />negligence. <br />Commissioner Lyons wished to have all the coverage available <br />because of the time when a personal lawsuit was filed against him <br />in federal court for allegedly violating someone's civil rights. <br />The advice he received at that time was that he was in serious <br />trouble, and he did not want to be put in that position again. <br />SELECTION OF MAINTENANCE SERVICE FOR COUNTY GROVE <br />The Board reviewed the following memo dated 2/24/86: <br />FLORIDA COOPERATIVE EXTENSION SERVICE <br />UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA <br />INSTITUTE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES <br />I FAr <br />COOPERATIVE EXTENSION SERVICE <br />AGRICVLTURAI.. EXPERIMENT STATIONS <br />SCHOOL OF FOREST RESOURCES AND CONSERVATION COLLEGE OR AGRICULTURE <br />I <br />T0: Board of C my Commissioners <br />From: my Thomas and Steve Futch <br />SUBJECT: County Grapefruit Grove ` <br />REPLY To: 2001-9 Ave. ,Suite 303 <br />February 24, 1986 <br />Riverfront Citrus Management,lnc., has notified the County that they <br />will continue to provide care for the County grove only if they are per- <br />mitted to market the 1986-87 fruit crop. This position is different <br />from current procedure of placing the crop to be purchased by the highest <br />bidder. <br />Riverfront is a vertically integrated company that provides the <br />marketing of fruit for all groves that it manages. Riverfront will sell <br />the fruit on a•point of sale basis and then deduct harvesting and packing <br />charges. This method would result in the County receiving the current <br />market price at the time of harvest.- Prices do vary during the season, <br />so it would not be possible to fix a per box price on the tree. However, <br />Riverfront would estimate the expected price early in the season. <br />33 <br />7 <br />
