MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Adams, to approve Indian River County Courthouse Property Control Regulation #1 as presented. Under discussion, Commissioner Adams asked how the rules would be enforced using as an example the "no smoking" rule, and County Attorney Vitunac advised that rules of the property owner (the County) were under consideration; that it was not an ordinance with penalties such as a fine or imprisonment. Infractions of the rules could result in speaking to an employee's supervisor or a tenant's eviction, that it was strictly a policy matter. He advised that State law prohibits smoking in public buildings. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED THE QUESTION and the MOTION CARRIED unanimously.

Section 386.201 et seq., F.S. H. T. "Sonny" Dean General Services Director (407)567-8000, Ext. 223 Because of the recent difficulties with sick building syndrome in new public buildings, which have included serious illnesses to workers and significant public expense for repair and restoration of the buildings, Indian River County has taken every conceivable step to ensure that the air quality in the new courthouse is maintained in a safe and healthy condition. Once the building is occupied, to maintain it in a safe and healthy condition requires the adoption of reasonable rules concerning contaminates brought into the building and will require the cooperation of all tenants and the public in the building.
