OCT 2 ® I7 <br />aooK 69 Far.758 <br />TO: Board of County"Commissioners <br />FROM: Charles P. Vitunac, County Attorney <br />DATE: October 14, 1987 <br />RE: INDIAN RIVER COUNTY FAIR <br />B.C.C. MEETING OCTOBER 20, 1987 <br />The attached agreement is between the State of Florida and <br />the County and would make the annual Indian River County <br />Fair a state -authorized county fair, just as if it were <br />given by an independent corporation under the dictates of <br />Chapter 616, Florida Statutes. <br />The Fair was originally sponsored by the Indian River County <br />Fair Corp. composed of parties interested in county fairs <br />including County 'representatives and the Vero Beach <br />Firefighters Association. The Board decided last year that <br />to better control operational and financial matters the Fair <br />should become an authorized function of the Board of County <br />Commissioners rather than. a function of an independent <br />corporation. To retain the -benefits provided by the state, <br />however, the County had to agree to comply with Chapter 616, <br />which is what the attached agreement would do. <br />If this contract is signed the Board of County Commissioners <br />will have to contract with someone to present the Fair, and <br />it is expected that the Firefighters Association will again <br />contract with the County to give the Fair. Please see the <br />attached letter from Mr. Joseph Earman, Jr., <br />Secretary -Treasurer of the Vero Beach Firefighters <br />Association, which evinces their intent to negotiate with <br />the County for the upcoming Fair. <br />Staff recommends approval of this contract and requests <br />—-authorization from the Board for the Chairman to execute it <br />on behalf of the County. <br />Attorney Vitunac advised that this agreement will make the <br />fair a state -authorized county fair, and reported that Bob <br />Komarinetz is in the process of negotiating a contract with the <br />fire fighters concerning the county fair. In fact, they have <br />submitted a contract which will be on next week's Agenda. <br />1 <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Bowman, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Eggert, the Board unanimously approved <br />the Agreement between the State and the County making <br />the Indian River County Fair a state -authorized county <br />fair, and authorized the Chairman's signature. <br />48 <br />
