Fro— I <br />S E P 0 1936 BOOK 65 F'}111 <br />c <br />Chairman Scurlock believed we refused to name the 17th <br />Street Bridge after someone, and we also refused to name the new <br />South County water -system and, in fact, didn't even put a plaque <br />there with the Commissioners' names on it. Based on these <br />several actions, he had felt this was the policy. He further <br />noted that he pointed out that while Dr. Tucker was very dear to <br />all of us, we also had Dr. Flood who served as County Health <br />Officer for 25 years. <br />Commissioner Bird felt it might be appropriate to name some <br />portion of the building for Dr. Tucker, and he believed it also <br />would be very appropriate to do something of the kind for Dr. <br />Flood. <br />Commissioner Wodtke concurred with having a plaque and <br />possibly naming a certain area, such as the prenatal clinic, in <br />honor of Dr. Tucker and also doing the same for Dr. Flood. He <br />did not= feel we should name the whole facility after someone. <br />Commissioner Bowman spoke of the practice of the City of <br />--Vero Beach of having a photo of the Councilmen and dates of their <br />service displayed in the City Hall, and the Chairman agreed it <br />would be nice to have similar pictures in the County chambers. <br />It was -agreed to think about this for the future. <br />Michael Galanis of Environmental Health informed the Board <br />that the staff of the County Health Department has established a <br />little fund in Dr. Tucker's name which already has contributions <br />of $250 or more, and it was staff's feeling that a conference <br />room or something of the sort could be named in his honor. There <br />also has been concern about Dr. Flood and possibly naming a <br />clinic area in his honor. <br />Commissioner Lyons agreed we certainly should take into <br />consideration -the feelings of the staff who have worked with <br />these people. <br />? 50 <br />
