BOOK <br />92 PAGE 08 <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously <br />agreed that the Committee should be kept <br />intact until the public hearing and a decision <br />of the Board. <br />PUBLIC DISCUSSION ITEM - JOHN OLBERMANN'S PROPOSAL FOR <br />r"OUN Il .lel 1 y�IT1y M 1��!'i�7:�1 <br />The Board reviewed the following letter dated June 21, 1994. <br />Mr. Jim Chandler <br />County Administrator <br />Vero Beach, FL <br />Dear Jim, <br />I would like to address the County Commissioners at the meeting on Tuesday, <br />June 289 1994 concerning my proposal for a County owned and operated shooting <br />range. <br />I would also present results of a recent survey. <br />As president of the NRA Member's Council of Indian River County, I will be <br />representing the Council and the one thousand two hundred National Rifle <br />Association members in the County. <br />Sincerely, <br />94 OAO"V-e�� <br />ohn 01bermann <br />John Olbermann apologized for late delivery of the 33 pages of <br />back up material distributed to the Commissioners. He presented <br />his proposal in detail, including survey results from 42 Indian <br />River, 11 St. Lucie, 4 Martin, and 1 Palm Beach County respondents. <br />Discussion ensued regarding the groups which were surveyed and <br />how the shooting range would be supervised and safely operated <br />under Mr. Olbermann's proposal. The Commissioners expressed <br />concern not only about funding the property acquisition, but also <br />construction and operation of the range. <br />Mr. Olbermann responded that he had volunteers to supply <br />materials and labor after the property was acquired. <br />Commissioner Bird felt it would be feasible to construct and <br />operate a small, inexpensive range for the average person to use, <br />and that is the direction currently being followed by the Land <br />Acquisition Advisory Committee. However, he felt that Indian River <br />County could not support a world class shooting range. <br />12 <br />J <br />
