Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final April 9, 2024 Vero Beach resident Tom Sullivan did not agree with keeping the EST, and he felt it was not a wise use of money. He did not view the EST as an iconic landmark and did not feel it was worth the continued maintenance. If declared a Historic Landmark, it would generate even more costs, and he felt the EST had outlived its life. Anthony Brown, Vero Beach resident, expressed his views on the EST, stating that it was an iconic structure that posed no threat to the community. He further added that the residents of Gifford took pride in the EST as it represented their community. He requested that the Board allow the EST to remain in place. A motion was made by Commissioner Earman, seconded by Vice Chairman Flescher, to approve staffs recommendation.
