injunction is permanently granted, and Mr. Prince is seeking monetary damages against IRC through a suit against the five Commissioners in their official capacity, IRC is self-insured and the money that would be paid, if any, to Mr. Prince in this proceeding would come directly out of the taxpayers' money and directly affect revenues being brought into the county. Attorney Reynolds next addressed Attorney Vocelle's duty in his representation of the County in 5 or 6 accident or slip and fall cases. Attorney Vocelle has the opposite duty from Attorney Clem, and that is to keep the taxpayers' money from being paid out to a plaintiff's attorney who is seeking monetary damages from Indian River County.
