Mr. <br />Morgan feels that such warning signs will greatly assist the <br />State Attorney's Office in prosecution of violators under <br />this ordinance. The roads affected should include, at the <br />minimum, State Road 60, U.S. #1, A -1-A, 1-95, and those <br />portions of the Florida Turnpike located within Indian River <br />County. <br />This office is requesting that the Board of County <br />Commissioners authorize the traffic engineering department <br />to order and post such warning signs at their earliest <br />possible opportunity. <br />Chairman Scurlock suggested that we delay putting up our <br />signs until we see if the Legislature passes a statewide law, and <br />Commissioner Bowman pointed out that the signs would be at the <br />State's expense if such a law passes. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Bowman, the Board unanimously tabled <br />this item until the outcome of the State's action. <br />Commissioner Bird suggested that we pend this for review in <br />6 months, and if nothing has happened by then, readdress it. <br />Commissioner Wheeler,wished to pass a Resolution urging the <br />Legislature to pass a statewide law. <br />42 <br />
