Vitunac, County Attorney DATE: June 17, 1987 RE: AGENDA - BCC MEETING 6/23/87 COUNTY ATTORNEY'S MATTERS ANNEXATION OF SOUTH BEACH Because of the legal issues involved, the County Administrator has asked me to place the attached letter from the City of Vero Beach on the agenda for Board direction. As the letter from City Manager John' Little says, a referendum to consider the issue of annexation of the barrier island land into the City of Vero Beach cannot be held until the owners of more than 500 of the acreage in the area to be annexed agree to the holding of the referendum. Although Indian River County would not be able to vote in the referendum election, the County has the power to consent to the referendum for the 91 acres which the County owns, and if other owners likewise consent so that more than 50% of the acreage on the island consents to a referendum then the referendum will be held. We respectfully request direction from the Board. City of Vero Beach 1053-201h PLACE - P. 0.
