AN <br />Commissioner Bird wished to be sure we put the retention <br />pond where it is the least visible as he felt they so often are <br />left unattended and become extremely unattractive. <br />Environmental Health Director Galanis advised that his <br />department has a new relationship with the St. John's Water <br />Management District where they are going to be inspecting <br />retention ponds and cleaning them. <br />Commissioner Wheeler commented that he did not see the <br />dental lab included in the plans, and Chairman Eggert confirmed <br />that it is no longer there. <br />Commissioner Scurlock asked if the space originally allotted <br />to it is still there, and Dr. Berman confirmed that it is, and <br />that is now part of their specialty clinic examining rooms. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Scurlock to approve the plans for <br />the Indian River County Health Department Unit as <br />presented and authorize staff to go out to bid. <br />Commissioner Scurlock asked if our construction manager will <br />be in charge of this building also. <br />Administrator Chandler confirmed that he will be involved in <br />the construction and all of the other aspects of it. <br />Commissioner Scurlock asked if funds have been allocated <br />within this 4 million dollar budget for that portion. <br />Administrator Chandler confirmed that is a part of what we <br />funded. The Administrator felt he should make the Board aware <br />that while most of the funding is coming from Sales Tax, and we <br />have received $500,000 from the state at this point, what is very <br />important to us also, in terms of other projects down the road <br />and flexibility, is that there has been 2.2 million provided in <br />the state budget for this building, and it is critical that we <br />follow that all the way through the legislative process. <br />28 <br />
