E. 1994 Firefighters/Indian River County Fair <br />The Board reviewed the following memo dated January 19, 1994: <br />TO: BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br />FROM: Lea R. Keller, CLA, County Attorney's Office <br />THRU: Charles P. Vitunac, County Attorney <br />DATE: January 19, 1994 <br />RE: 1994 Firefighters/Indian River county Fair <br />The Firefighters have agreed to execute the attached contract with the <br />County for holding the 1994 fair; therefore, our application package is <br />ready to be sent to the state so that the County will receive its 1994 <br />fair permit. <br />Requested Action: Board authorize the Chairman to execute the attached <br />contract, application for fair permit, and affidavit and the County <br />Attorney's Office to submit the completed application package to the <br />state along with the required $275.00 permit fee. <br />Commissioner Adams noted that the Firefighters have invested <br />a considerable amount of money in improvements at the Fairgrounds, <br />and she thought a security system was needed because the <br />Fairgrounds have been vandalized on a number -of occasions. She <br />noticed from the contract with the State that a Fairgrounds <br />Advisory Committee is recommended, and she wondered if we should <br />resurrect that committee. <br />Commissioner Bird explained that the Parks and. Recreation <br />Committee is responsible for the Fairgrounds. <br />Administrator Chandler indicated that the application is being <br />submitted by the Board acting in the capacity of a Fairgrounds <br />Advisory Committee. <br />County Attorney Charles Vitunac advised the Board that the <br />County waived the rent charge last year because the fair lost <br />money. This year the contract provides for the County to accept <br />1/3 of the profits from the County Fair in lieu of rent. If there <br />is no profit, the Firefighters will not be required to pay any <br />money to the County. <br />Commissioner Bird explained that the Firefighters want this <br />type of contract because they do not want to do all the work <br />associated with the Fair only to lose money due to poor weather <br />conditions, and then still have to pay rent. <br />9 <br />y.; A <br />BOOK 91 F',�GE 575 <br />
