Doyle Vernon, concerned resident of Indian River County, <br />reported on 3 meetings held at 3 different elementary schools. He <br />noted that the meeting at Oslo school, interest was primarily in <br />having bike paths, but he couldn't see putting bike paths ahead of <br />providing sidewalks for children to walk to school safely.. <br />Everyone has said that sidewalks are needed, but it has not been a <br />budgeted item. Mr. Vernon emphasized the danger of children <br />walking to school along roads where there are no sidewalks, such as <br />43rd Avenue. He pointed out that we have an ordinance that says if <br />a child lives within a radius of 2 miles from a school, they have <br />to walk to school. <br />Mr. Vernon wanted the Board to include funding for sidewalks <br />in this year's budget. He planned to attend this year's budget <br />sessions and do anything he could to help in this effort. <br />Chairman Adams thanked Mr. Vernon for his interest and efforts <br />in having sidewalks built in areas close to schools. <br />Commissioner Bird asked if the Board could spend sometime <br />reviewing the sidewalk/bike path situation, and Administrator <br />Chandler reported that concerned residents have given input at two <br />recent meetings in support of building sidewalks and bike paths <br />near schools. He anticipated the review of the sidewalk/bike path <br />plan to dovetail with our budget process. <br />Bill Roolage, resident of Vista Gardens, wished to second Mr.• <br />Vernon's recommendation. He pointed out how dangerous it is to <br />drive at night when people ride their bikes in the streets without <br />reflectors. He urged the Board to take some action to get <br />sidewalk/bike paths built near schools. <br />SANDRIDGE GOLF CLUB - PRIVATIZATION OF GOLF COURSE <br />MAINTENANCE <br />Administrator Chandler presented staff's recommendation to <br />privatize the maintenance of Sandridge Golf Club: <br />E 820 <br />APRIL 16, 1996 13 SOAK 97 PAG, <br />
