r . JL 16 1991 BOOK f'E T bridge which the school bus uses to go over the canal because he did not feel it is safe. Vita Cassara, 9570 79th Street, commented that as to why people move here, he traveled 2,700 miles in Florida looking for a place, and this is what he chose. He was promised roads would be built - that is why he bought here, and he is waiting for it. Maria Tibault, Vero Lakes resident, noted that she also moved down here because she was told they would have roads, and she doesn't mind paying the extra money to have the roads paved. She is paying it out now any way to have her car fixed because of the damage done to it by the roads, and she would rather pay her money for good roads. Joe McBride, 87th Street, was against the paving. He noted that he spoke against the paving of 87th Street when it was proposed, and at that time he said that if the road was to be paved, those people would be for it because it would be a racetrack, and that is what it is. Sid Lansing, 88th Street and 99th Avenue, was against the paving also. As to having better roads for the Fire Department, he stated that when the lot near him caught on fire, he called the Fire Department and no one was there. Then he called Sebastian; they got lost; and it took them half an hour to get there, and you can check that in their log. He did not want to pay any more taxes, and if people want a road paved, let them pay for it. Commissioner Eggert advised that she is head of the Fire District Advisory Committee, and she will look into getting a comprehensive map of Vero Lakes Estates. Tom Bailey, Crime Watch Coordinator, informed the Board that they have made a map of Vero Lake Estates showing all the canals, and those maps will be given out to the Sheriff and eventually to the Fire Districts. Commissioner Eggert requested that one be given to the Director of Emergency Services, Doug Wright. Chairman Bird determined that no one else wished to be heard and thereupon closed the public hearing. Chairman Bird noted that the Commission has three options tonight - we can either approve the additional assessment proposed, disapprove it, or continue discussion and delay the decision. If it is approved, it would be a part of our county budget and would be subject to final approval at our budget hearings in September. Administrator Chandler advised that the TRIM Notices will go out in August to all property owners, and that notice will have the dates of those hearings. 18
