MAY - 5 1993 <br />BOOK 89 FAcr 4.59-1 <br />list of uses for the District 1 funds in case the Tourist <br />Development Council did not approve the dewatering project. <br />Councilman Jordan asked for a decision on Resolution 87-133, <br />and Chairman Bird stated that it would be addressed at the next <br />County Commission meeting. <br />RIVERSIDE THEATER AND CENTER FOR THE ARTS PROPERTY MAINTENANCE <br />Commissioner Eggert announced that because she is chairman of <br />the Center for the Arts she was concerned about the possibility of <br />a conflict of interest. The County Attorney advised that because <br />there is no financial gain to the position of chairman of that <br />group there is no conflict of interest. <br />Mayor Smith led the discussion regarding the free landscape <br />maintenance and lawn cutting services which the City has provided <br />for several years. A year ago the City notified Riverside Theater <br />and Center for the Arts that those services will be discontinued <br />and those two groups indicated they would approach the Board for <br />help in funding that landscape maintenance. The City will continue <br />with the maintenance through the end of the fiscal year. <br />Discussion ensued regarding what maintenance the City has <br />provided and what they will continue to provide. <br />Vero Beach Operations Supervisor of Public Works Bill Stay <br />advised that they will continue to maintain the lawn where they use <br />the huge mower. They will discontinue maintenance in the area <br />between Riverside Drive, Armstrong Drive and its curve down to <br />Dahlia Lane. <br />Mayor Smith further commented that the City is still offering <br />to do the irrigation with the reuse water system that is being <br />converted. They currently are using potable water. <br />Commissioner Macht thought that this expenditure was a valid <br />use for tourist tax funds because these facilities attract <br />vacationers to our area. <br />Chairman Bird thought, and Commissioner Tippin agreed that the <br />Tourist Development Council would not consider a request for <br />funding of the landscape maintenance at Riverside Theater and the <br />Center for the Arts because the deadline has passed. <br />Discussion ensued regarding the cost involved in the continued <br />maintenance, and Acting City Manager Nason estimated that it cost <br />$10,000 for one facility and $14,000 for the other, including <br />mulching and shrub replacement and things of that nature. <br />Commissioner Adams asked whether the City would continue to do <br />the work if they were reimbursed, and Mr. Nason responded <br />affirmatively. <br />12 <br />
