M <br />M <br />M <br />the "crack" cocaine problem in Indian River County. I talked to <br />Sheriff Dobeck about having a symposium here. <br />I am asking the County Commission to spearhead this thing <br />arranging a time and place to hold a symposium, set up a program <br />involving some knowledgeable speakers, and encourage all the <br />local individuals and organizations to come together. We will <br />need a large facility to hold several hundred people, and it <br />might run from 2 to 4 hours. I would like to have a symposium <br />scheduled within a couple weeks. Senator Chiles' aide said they <br />would cooperate in any way they can to help line up speakers. <br />We will need the civic organizations, School Board, and PTA <br />organizations to play a strong role in educating our children. <br />Commissioner Bird advised that since writing the above <br />report, he has learned that others have picked up on this, and <br />St. Edwards School is putting together such a symposium to be <br />held next month. He believed we have supported the Sheriff re <br />his program with the schools and stressed that we have got to get <br />to the young people in the elementary schools and educate them; <br />we can't wait. We must take as aggressive a stand as possible to' <br />try and eliminate this problem in the county. Commissioner Bird <br />noted that we have received a Resolution from the Town of Indian <br />River Shores expressing their concern, and we have also received <br />the following letter from Andrew Mustapick of Timber Ridge Tennis <br />Ranch complaining about illegal drug activities taking place on <br />Oslo Road on "county -owned" land, citing housing violations, <br />illegal electric hookups, etc. He did not know if we are doing <br />everything we can through our Code Enforcement Board. <br />47 <br />BSEP 9 ig <br />BOOK 65 FmaF..66 b <br />
