of Vero Beach and Indian River County, dated Septem- <br />ber 30, 1986, as submitted by Urban Forester William <br />DeBraal. <br />Forester DeBraal came before the Board and highlighted a few <br />of his accomplishments during the year including the County Road <br />510 project - the Wabasso Causeway Park project - Donald <br />MacDonald nature trail - and the Indian River Boulevard southern <br />extension He informed the Board that he has assisted over 1300 <br />people either in person or by phone and spoke to more than 5,000 <br />residents, including school children and other groups during the <br />year. <br />Commissioner Wodtke commented that the people in the <br />westerly part of the county, residents at Village Green, <br />Countryside, etc., have asked if there is any possibility for <br />some beautification of the median strip on Route 60 from King's <br />Highway further west. <br />Chairman Scurlock felt we should use some of the Gas Tax <br />money for this and for U.S.I. He would like to get a program <br />that does not.rel.ieve the state of all responsibility. <br />Discussion ensued about making use of the First Offender <br />Program, and Forester DeBraal felt that is a viable possibility <br />for trimming, edging, etc. <br />Chairman Scurlock was concerned about the liability of pri- <br />vate citizens doing any maintenance along the highway and felt we <br />very probably could get some donations towards this purpose. <br />Forester DeBraal pointed out that since SR60 is a state <br />owned road, it would be necessary to go through the DOT and he <br />would be happy to assist. <br />The Chairman thanked him for doing a nice job. — <br />Said report is on file in the Office of Clerk to the Board. <br />OCT 6 0 BOOK 66 FSE 260 <br />L <br />
