Commissioner Scurlock asked if we have any idea of the total <br />number of indigents buried there in the last few years. <br />Attorney Collins felt Welfare Director Johnson might now, but <br />noted that we have been contracting with funeral homes because <br />they have run out of room. <br />Commissioner Scurlock expressed his opposition to this <br />proposal and stated that he cannot in good conscience support 15 <br />acres of county land for a private church He has had some real <br />questions about this for a long time; although, he knew that <br />former Commissioner Wodtke supported this and he believed that <br />Commissioner Bird does also. <br />Attorney Collins advised that the indigent burials cost the <br />county about $800 apiece. He believed the original charter of <br />the church stated that they would bury members of pioneer <br />families or indigents. <br />Commissioner Wheeler noted that he would like to see it a <br />little broader than that if the county .is to supply the land. <br />Commissioner Scurlock felt that, in fairness, we should <br />postpone this discussion until Commissioner Bird is here to argue <br />this as he has been very supportive of it, and Attorney Vitunac <br />suggested we postpone this until both the lawyer for the <br />corporation and Commissioner Bird are present. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED by Com- <br />missioner Bowman, the Board unanimously (4-0) agreed <br />,to' t -able: fu Ather discussion on the above matter for <br />two weeks. <br />DOCUMENTS TO BE MADE PART OF THE RECORD <br />Extension of Lease for space in Washington Plaza, Sebastian, <br />for the Sheriff has been received and put on file in the Office <br />of Clerk to the Board as approved at the Regular Meeting of <br />October 16, 1990. <br />77 <br />BOOK 81 F,tir,E0,JS' <br />
