Wheeler Aye BOARD OF -COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA BYDON i G SUCROC JR. Chairman AUTHORIZATION FOR FIREFIGHTERS TO OPERATE ANNUAL COUNTY FAIR The Board reviewed memo from Assistant County Attorney Barkett: TO: The Board of County Commissioners DATE: November 12, 1986 SUBJECT: Resolution Authorizing Vero Beach Firefighters Association, Inc. to Operate Annual Fair at Indian River County Fairgrounds FROM: Bruce Barkett-`� Assistant County Attorney On November 3, 1986 there was a meeting in the County Administrator's Office which was attended by the County Administrator; Bill Tripp from the Firefighters Association; Steve Bloom, an attorney representing the firefighters; and me. The firefighters requested a contract between the Indian River County Fair Association, Inc, and the Vero Beach Firefighters Association, Inc. to operate an annual fair at Indian River County Fairgrounds for the next 15 years. With the Administrator's concurrence, I suggested that since we are in the process of reorganizing and revitalizing the Indian River County Fair Association, Inc. at the Board's direction, a contract by that Association, either long term or short term, would be inappropriate at this time. The firefighters indicated that the appropriate State Officials would not allow them to run an annual County fair in 1987 without such a contract. It was suggested that a resolution adopted by the Board of County Commissioners of Indian River County authorizing the firefighters to operate a fair from March 20-28, 1987 at the Indian River County Fairgrounds would probably satisfy the appropriate State Officials without disrupting the reorganization process which the Indian River County Fair Association, Inc. is undergoing at this time. 56 NOV 18 19186 BOOK 66 r,qu- 4?1
