RESOLUTION NO. 74 - 75 <br />E <br />WHEREAS, The Indian River County Council on Aging, Inc. <br />has been grouped with St. Lucie, martin, Okeechobee and f <br />Palm Beach counties in Region 10A since its inception on i <br />® July 1, 1974, and <br />WHEREAS, it is understood that the Florida Board of <br />I <br />Administration is planning to transfer said Council on Aging <br />to Region 6 as of January 1, 1975, there to be grouped with <br />Lake, Volusia, Seminole, Orange, Brevard and Osceola <br />counties, and <br />WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Indian River <br />County Council on Aging, Inc. has informed the Board of <br />County Commissioners of Indian River County that, after <br />most careful consideration of this proposal, it appears <br />that such a move would be detrimental to the efficient op - <br />oration of the Indian River County Council on Aging, Inc. <br />and therefore would not be in the best interests of the <br />senior citizens of Indian River County, for the following <br />reasons: <br />(1.) All persons now involved in the present operation <br />have become sufficiently well acquainted to continue <br />to work in close co-operation without interruption <br />at this critical stage in their efforts to implement <br />the objectives of the organization. <br />(2.) It appears obvious that the population, environ- <br />ment and social problems of Indian River County, <br />from the standpoint of its older inhabitants, are <br />more closely aligned with those of the counties in <br />Region 10A than with those in Region 6. <br />(3.) Geographically, it is much more economical and <br />efficientih terms of travel, communications, con- <br />venience and general expenses for the personnel of <br />the Indian River County Council to operate fifteen <br />miles from its Regional Headquarters than from a <br />f <br />distance of one hundred miles or more; and <br />
