Director Dean noted the property should be identified as <br />Blocks 42, 43 and 39 in downtown Vero Beach. <br />Commissioner Macht thought there are advantages in locating an <br />administration building on the church property and use the <br />courthouse parking facility for both buildings. He also thought <br />there should be discussion with other government entities and <br />agencies, and the mechanism for doing that exists in the Land <br />Acquisition Advisory Committee. <br />Commissioner Eggert recalled that past discussions involved <br />the possibility of the School Board moving into the present <br />administration building. Then the property north of the present <br />administration building would be used to meet the needs of the <br />Public Health, Veterans and Welfare departments as well as the <br />County Administration. <br />Administrator Chandler confirmed that the conclusion of the <br />space needs study was that if we ever construct a new building, we <br />have sufficient property holdings north of the present <br />Administration Building to construct that facility. Additionally, <br />property values in the downtown area are higher. <br />Chairman Bird felt the timing is not right because we are not <br />even at a beginning point to make any decisions. <br />Scott Chisholm, representing the Long -Range Planning Committee <br />for the First United Methodist Church, explained that he is <br />addressing the Commission because County facilities are being <br />constructed in downtown Vero Beach. He stressed that First United <br />Methodist Church has not voted yet on whether the property should <br />be sold. They have not approached any other entities and are <br />taking this first step to see if there is any interest on the part <br />of the County to acquire this property before they place the <br />property on the market. He further stated that he did not expect <br />a commitment from the Commission at this time but wanted to see if <br />there is any interest. <br />Chairman Bird thought there is an interest but the County is <br />not in a position to make a commitment, and he suggested that they <br />market the property if they feel the need to. <br />TCI CABLEVISION REQUEST FOR COUNTY ROAD 6 BRIDGE DIVISION <br />ASSISTANCE IN PLANTING WASHINGTONIAN PALMS WITHIN BR60 MEDIAN <br />Public Works Director Jim Davis made the following <br />presentation: <br />33 <br />FE BOOK ; 88 U,U S05 <br />L! <br />9 �993 <br />
