The cones <br />may be borrowed on Friday October 8, 1993, by the Jungle Club <br />and returned to Indian River County on Monday October 11, 1993. <br />Immediately after the race, the road signs shall be covered by <br />Jungle Club volunteers. <br />Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve their <br />request. <br />Indian River County Traffic Engineering personnel will install the <br />necessary signs on Friday, October 8, 1993 and will remove the said signs <br />on Monday, October 11, 1993. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Eggert, to approve the request of The <br />Vero Beach Jungle Club to hold a 5K road race on <br />state and county roadways on Saturday, October 9, <br />1993, at 8:30 a.m. for the benefit of the "March of <br />Dimes" fund, as recommended by staff. <br />Under discussion, Commissioner Eggert asked whether we know <br />approximately how much these events cost the County. <br />Public Works Director Jim Davis explained that we have used as <br />many as 2 to 4 county employees for traffic control, and the cost <br />depends on the number of hours they work. The cost of a single <br />event is fairly low, but there are so many of these events that the <br />costs start to add up. <br />25 <br />AUG 2 � o� <br />BOOK 90 PAGE 316 <br />
