Nason, City <br />Manager/Utilities Director of the City of Vero Beach, dated May 19, <br />1994. <br />John Tippin, Chairman <br />Board of County Commissioners May 19, 1994 <br />Indian River County <br />1840 25th Street <br />Vero Beach, FL 32960 <br />Dear John: <br />The City of Vero Beach, in cooperation with the Indian River County Fire District, is <br />planning a gala Fourth of July celebration at Riverside Park. This year, the City <br />Council has agreed to donate $2,500 towards the fireworks' display, along with <br />providing for the police protection and traffic control, free -of -charge, for this event. <br />Additionally, the City is sponsoring one of the bands during this event. Inasmuch as <br />this celebration is for all people within the City and surrounding area, we would <br />appreciate your consideration of a donation to offset the costs associated with <br />providing the music, fireworks and other activities that are planned to ensure a joyous <br />July 4th for all of our citizens. <br />If you would like further information or would like a presentation from me at one of <br />your Commission Meetings, I would be happy to do so. Your kind consideration of <br />this matter is appreciated. <br />Very truly yours, <br />City Manager Nason invited one and all to a _party scheduled on <br />Friday, June 10, 1994, in Pocahontas Park to celebrate the 75th <br />Birthday of the City of Vero Beach. <br />Commissioner Adams felt we also should give $2,500 to <br />Sebastian for their celebration, and the other Board members agreed <br />that this cost would be justified this year because the <br />celebrations will be tied in with the D -Day 50th Anniversary <br />Remembrance. <br />OMB Director Joe Baird recommended funding to come from the <br />MSTU rather than the Tourist Development Council. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously <br />approved funding from MSTU in the amount of <br />$2,500 to both the City of Vero Beach and City <br />of Sebastian (total $5,000) for 4th of July <br />36 <br />
