JU11 2 9 1992 <br />POOK 41 <br />allegations and the indication of a past relationship that has been <br />conceded to the Court already in the temporary injunction hearing. <br />For that reason, the fact that the Commission from the appearance <br />of a past claim or a relationship between Guettler and Scurlock has <br />paid $35,000 or more in defense of the County in this action in <br />trying to go forward with its golf course and trying to protect the <br />revenue bond, he would say to Commissioner Scurlock the same thing <br />that we said to Prince and the same thing we said to Guettler, <br />which is, we, in our official capacity, did not do anything wrong <br />and we are not paying one dime. So, the representation that I have <br />done extensive research and found no conflict on the day of the <br />vote is not completely accurate; I have not been charged with the <br />duty, as yet, to prove Commissioner Scurlock had a conflict on the <br />day of the vote. That would only arise should Commissioner <br />Scurlock choose to pursue his attorney's fees and the Commission <br />choose to pursue their attorney's fees against him, which would not <br />be in the best interest of either party. His representation to the <br />Board is that Prince, in four and one-half months has not found, in <br />essence, the smoking gun on the day of the vote, but we are all <br />well aware of the past relationships that are a matter of public <br />record, that were alleged by Prince and brought as the basis for. <br />this particular claim. For that reason, he felt it is in <br />Mr.Scurlock's best interest and this Commission's best interest for <br />each to walk away from the attorney's fee claim; he didn't think <br />that Indian River County should pay nickel one to any entity, be it <br />Prince, Guettler, Smith or Scurlock. <br />Chairman Eggert felt part of her frustration with this is <br />after coming from a totally innocent position and having voted for <br />Prince in the first place, finding herself paying to talk to <br />outside attorneys about several situations throughout this thing. <br />She would have a hard time paying legal fees to Mr. Scurlock on <br />that basis. <br />22 <br />- M M <br />
