BOOK W PAA44 <br />with the opinion of the 4th District Court of Appeal or if they <br />feel that the assignment of our county judges to hear felony cases <br />was in violation of the Constitution, and if judges act as circuit <br />judges they should be circuit judges. Attorney Vitunac stated that <br />if the Board members disagree with the 4th District's opinion, the <br />County Attorney's office is capable of stepping- in for Buck <br />Vocelle. He added that he spoke to a county judge and was advised <br />that the County ought to stay out of it. <br />Discussion ensued regarding the assignment of county judges to <br />hear circuit cases, and Mr. Vocelle advised that it is a state-wide <br />practice for a county judge to be appointed to a six-month <br />assignment to handle circuit cases. This is the first decision <br />that quashed an administrative order. Judges Balsiger and Wild <br />each handled fifty percent of the felony caseload, which means that <br />a felony defendant did not see a circuit judge, and that makes our <br />county unique. <br />Further discussion ensued regarding the issues involved in the <br />case, and it was the consensus and direction of the Board that <br />Attorney Vitunac do further research and present more information <br />to the Board at the next meeting. <br />REOUEST FOR APPROVAL OF A TOINT ACQUISITION AGREEMENT <br />WITH THE ST JOHNS RIVER WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT, <br />RELATING TO COST -SHARE ACOUISITION OF INDIAN RIVER <br />LAGOON -FRONT LAAC SITES <br />The Board reviewed the following memo dated October 17, 1994: <br />October 25, 1994 <br />M <br />78 <br />M <br />
