BOX 650183 VERO BEACH FL 32965 <br />i4 <br />February 20, 1996 <br />The Board of County Commissioners <br />1840 25th Street <br />Vero Beach, Florida 32960 <br />Honorable Commissioners: <br />Six months ago the membership of the Vero Beach Boat Club <br />reluctantly but unanimously came to the realization that we could <br />no longer maintain the stewardship of Boat Island as we had for the <br />past forty-five years. <br />Our- quest to find a responsible entity who would <br />enthusiastically accept this responsibility involved several local <br />organizations, among which were the Environmental Learning Center, <br />the Florida Intercoastal Navigation District, your Board, and the <br />State of Florida. <br />In as much as the State of Florida is willing to allow the <br />County to accept this responsibility, it is my honor on behalf of <br />the members of the Vero Beach Boat Club to transfer this day our <br />stewardship of Boat Club Island to Indian River County. <br />Attached is our check for one thousand dollars to facilitate <br />the original clean up and repairs needed on the property. <br />In view of the past contributions given and hard work <br />performed by our membership we would remind the Commissioners of <br />our three requests to the County: <br />1. The Club be allowed to hold its customary monthly meetings <br />on the third Sunday of every month at the Island in perpetuity. <br />2. A Plaque or sign be displayed recognizing the club's past <br />activities on the Island. <br />3. The Island retain the name "Boat Club Island." <br />we wish to thank all who.have given of their time, enthusiasm <br />and support, which has made this transfer possible. <br />Sincerely: <br />The Membership of the Vero Beach Boat Club <br />/4y <br />J Knox Robins <br />Commodore <br />2 <br />FEBRUARY 20, 1996 <br />
