� ® r <br />TOURIST TAX MATTERS <br />Commissioner Wheeler commented that he did not put this <br />matter on the agenda, and City Manager Little explained that he <br />included it at the request of City Finance Director Nason. <br />Mr. Nason believed the matters he was concerned about are <br />primarily resolved. He noted that the problem is that it seems <br />the Tourist Tax Board is not very familiar with the documents <br />that put it together. <br />Commissioner Wheeler, who chairs the Tourist Tax Committee, <br />agreed that several members were opening up areas that we didn't <br />have any business getting into. <br />Mr. Nason explained that there was some pretty wide <br />diversions from the original intent for the monies, and City <br />Manager Little confirmed that the City just wanted them to stick <br />to the original program. <br />Commissioner Wheeler advised that he made it clear that his <br />position is and will be that the first two years' budget passed <br />by the voters will stand, the only exception being we voted to <br />give $5,000 to the Arts Council. <br />INDIAN RIVER BOULEVARD NORTH AND MERRILL BARBER BRIDGE <br />REPLACEMENT <br />Chairman Scurlock advised from the County's standpoint that <br />the one thing we have directed our Public Works Director is that <br />we want the Boulevard built and we have said move as fast as you <br />can to do that. Developmental plans have come and gone, and <br />while we are willing to work with them, our only concern has been <br />that we do not want to get involved in any process to delay us <br />building the Boulevard. <br />City Manager Little noted the City has had some staff meet- <br />ings because it looked as if they might be part of the problem <br />for a while, but they have met with the property owners; it is <br />inside the City limits, and he believed everything is on course. <br />16 BOOK 73 DGE 16 <br />JUN 8 1988 <br />
