Chairman Tippin directed staff to -include this subject on the <br />agenda, and Commissioner Adams preferred it be included next week. <br />- Administrator Chandler stated that staff would present some <br />alternatives in ..terms of the hours and days of operation. He - <br />assured the Board that staff anticipated that if people missed the <br />notice in the paper and went to the transfer station on a day it <br />was closed, they would leave their trash at the gate. Staff did <br />anticipate we would have some of these problems until people fully <br />realized that it was closed on certain days. <br />PUBLIC DISCUSSION - UPDATE ON THE INDIAN RIVER IDEA <br />Attorney Sam Block, made the following presentation: <br />October 19, 1994 <br />Jim Chandler <br />County Administration Building <br />1840 25th Street <br />Vero Beach, Florida 32960 <br />Dear Jim: <br />As Chairman of the Task Force on THE INDIAN RIDER IDEA, may I request some time at next <br />Tuesday's, October 25, Comi <br />unty Commission meeting to update the Commissioners on the <br />progress we have made in furthering THE IDEA. <br />The Task Force, whose membership consists of the board chairmen of our mainstream non-profit <br />organizations, the superintendent of schools and several public service providers, was organized; <br />last January to coordinate the fiuther development and coordination of the several aspects bf <br />THE INDIAN RIVER IDEA. <br />One such aspect was the further development of IRENE, our "community telecomputing" system. <br />_ As you no doubt read in a recent press story, Indian River County was granted one of the first <br />ninety grants awarded by the National Telecommunications Information Administration, the only <br />such grant made in Florida, to fiuther strengthen our local information infrastructure and create a <br />gateway to the Internet.
