Invitations have been issued to the Board of <br />County Commissioners, the City Councils of Vero Beach, Fellsmere, <br />and Sebastian, the Town Council of Indian River Shores, and the <br />State Attorney's Office and the Sheriff's Department will be <br />represented. He asked the commissioners to put this on their <br />calendars. <br />Commissioner Eggert questioned whether this was a Board <br />meeting, and Chairman Macht responded that this is a joint meeting <br />of all of the bodies mentioned. There would be no need for any <br />action to be taken by the Board as a body as it is an optional <br />meeting, but he wanted the commissioners to be aware of the date <br />and time. <br />CREW NAL TUSTICE COSTS/STATE FUNDING <br />Chairman Macht asked for the Board's cooperation in passing a <br />resolution to be presented to the Legislative Delegation attempting <br />to alleviate the County's burdensome expense in operating the state <br />court system. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Adams, the Board unanimously adopted <br />Resolution 95-54 to the Florida Legislature in <br />support of the State funding criminal justice costs. <br />RESOLUTION NO. 95-54 <br />A RESOLUTION OF THE HOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF <br />INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA, TO THE FLORIDA <br />LEGISLATURE IN SUPPORT OF THE STATE FUNDING CRIMINAL <br />JUSTICE COSTS. <br />WHEREAS, over the years the state has been phasing out its funding for <br />special public defenders; and <br />WHEREAS, as a result of this, the counties finance more of the state <br />court system costs today than the state does; and <br />WHEREAS, because the county's escalating costs are putting a tremendous <br />burden on the general fund; and <br />WHEREAS, the counties can no longer support the state's courts without <br />seeing a total eclipse of other necessary services; <br />APRIL 45 1995 69 BOOK 94 PAu 817 <br />
