MAR 2 8 1989 <br />BOOK 76 PAGE 484 <br />Vice Chairman Eggert recalled that Dick Mills first brought <br />this forward at the time he came in with the Sloan program in Ft. <br />Pierce. Assistant County Attorney Sharon Brennan has discovered <br />that the Community Center's drug program qualified Indian River <br />County to be able to do this. <br />Attorney Brennan advised that in the last session the State <br />adopted a new law which enabled the counties to adopt an <br />ordinance which would enable the judges to assess additional <br />funds for drug related offenses and those monies are to be <br />collected in a separate fund, the Drug Abuse Trust Fund. These <br />monies are to be used toward drug abuse, programs which are in <br />place and have already been approved by HRS. The programs that <br />we have through the Mental Health Center do qualify for that <br />program. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously (4-0, <br />Chairman Wheeler being absent) granted conceptual <br />approval of the proposed ordinance and authorized <br />staff to proceed in advertising the ordinance for a <br />public hearing. <br />There being no further business, on Motion duly made, <br />seconded and carried, the Board adjourned at 10:20 o'clock A.M. <br />ATTEST: <br />Clerk <br />44 <br />
