APR 3 199a <br />BOOK r� �'�..{�E1' <br />Commissioner Bird noted that we have the standard clause in <br />the construction agreement for a $500 penalty per day for going <br />over the time <br />limit, but <br />he hoped we are <br />going to be very, very <br />strict about <br />not granting <br />any extensions, <br />etc. <br />Administrator Chandler advised that he had gotten the word <br />out on that not only on this project, but on the other projects <br />that are under construction. <br />AGREEMENT IS ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF THE CLERK TO THE BOARD <br />COUNTY FAIRGROUNDS - DONATION OF LIVESTOCK/AGRICULTURAL BUILDING <br />The Board reviewed the following memo dated 3/28/90: <br />TO: James E. Chandler, <br />County Administrator <br />FROM: James W. Davis, P.E., <br />Public Works Director- \�J <br />SUBJECT: Request by Indian River County Farm Bureau to <br />Construct and Donate to the County a 31,850 S.F. <br />Livestock/Agricultural Building to be located at <br />the County Fairgrounds <br />DATE:- March 28, 1990 <br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS <br />In early 1984, the Board of County Commissioners <br />authorized construction of the present fairground facility <br />located at Kiwanis Hobart Park. At this time, staff was <br />instructed to clear, fill, and grass an approximately 40 <br />acre area, with the future goal that structures and <br />improvements on the land would be funded by revenue <br />generated from the facility or by donation from civic <br />groups. On May 24, 1984, the Public Works Dept. received <br />site plan approval for the clearing and basic construction. <br />The first County Fair located at the Hobart Park facility <br />took place January 24 - 30, 1985. <br />In March 1985, the Board of County Commissioners <br />established an advisory committee titled the Indian River <br />County Fair Association, Inc. This committee's mission was <br />to consider future use of the fairgrounds and recommend a <br />program of future improvements. During it's second meeting <br />on April 2, 1985, the committee recommended that the Indian <br />River County Firefighters investigate construction of a <br />multi-purpose building on the site and to work with county <br />staff regarding a location for this building. <br />A preliminary multi-purpose building site was selected by <br />staff, however, funding the building did not materialize and <br />the committee expressed a desire to develop a master plan <br />for the entire fairground complex.
