in fact, the county had received the property subject to the <br />condition that no fee would ever be charged, we would have had no <br />power to make any modification to that provision. However, the <br />giving of the land simply provided that it be used forever for <br />recreational purposes. The County imposed the provision that <br />there be no entrance fee for county residents; so, this is no <br />breach of the trust. <br />The Board members agreed there has been a misconception that <br />we received the land with that provision, and it was further <br />noted that actually most of the land in question has been dredged <br />out of the Inlet and is reclaimed land. <br />William Ramsey, Edward Drive, Sebastian, felt that the <br />people should be consulted on this action and there should be <br />some kind of vote on how they feel. Whether this action makes <br />sense moneywise or not, it makes the same people charging the fee <br />answer to the voters, and Mr. Ramsey wanted to have an opportu- <br />nity to determine how the people feel about it. <br />William Koolage, 815 26th Ave., had a question as to what <br />happens in five years if the DNR does live up to what they have <br />presented - would the Board then give them the land? <br />Commissioner Scurlock believed the concept would be to <br />continue the agreement on a 5 year basis, and Mr. Koolage stated <br />he would like to see that included in the agreement. <br />Commissioners Scurlock and Bird both expressed their <br />appreciation of what the DNR has done for the County, and <br />Commissioner Bird felt that $_1.00 is a very nominal charge for <br />the services and facilities provided, which also offer the public <br />better protection and safety. <br />Mr. Schuler wished to know if a person pays to go in the <br />Park on the north side whether that entitles him to go in the <br />south side also, and the Board members believed it does. <br />Bill Nelson of Rockridge wished to know if residents who use <br />the Park frequently can get some kind of monthly pass, and it was <br />noted that there would be an annual pass available for $25.00. <br />67 <br />L FEB 6 198S <br />BOOK 76 [AGE 67 <br />
