ma <br />Careful attention of all our Commissioners to the requirements of this <br />controlling law in issuance of any printed documents to the electorate in connection <br />with the subject referendum is respectfully requested. <br />Our Board of Directors, based primarily on economic reasons, has voted <br />unanimously to urge the taxpayers of Indian River County to vote unfavorably in the <br />prospective referendum and want any printed documents issued using taxpayers <br />money to include this side of the story according to the law as stated in the above <br />cited Court of Appeals decision. Further, we request the opportunity to participate <br />equally with any other "outside" parties in the deliberations as to the content of <br />printed documents to be mailed to the voters by the County and respectfully request <br />that the Commission direct the administration to enable such participation. <br />Very truly yours, <br />71 <br />lz <br />ichard Mead, President <br />attachment <br />TO: Chairman Carolyn K. Eggert <br />FROM: Charles P. Vitunac, County ttorney <br />DATE: May 129 1992 <br />RE: PAMPHLET IN FAVOR OF LAND ACQUISITION <br />i <br />MAY 1992 <br />1)DUu. is :41 OEM. ,y <br />I am attaching an excerpt from the case of People AsWnst Tax Rev. v. <br />County of Leon, 583 So. 2d 1373 (Fla. 1991) , which holds that one duty <br />of a democratic government is to lead the people to make informed <br />choices through fair persuasion. The exact language is as follows: <br />"...local governments are not bound to keep silent in the face <br />of a controversial vote that will have profound consequences <br />for the community. Leaders have both a duty and a right to <br />say which course of action they think best, . and to make fair <br />use of their offices for this purpose." <br />This case is good authority for the County to prepare an information <br />booklet recommending a "yes" vote for land acquisition bonds. <br />Also attached is a copy of a some suggested bond referendum language. <br />The law allows a maximum of 75 words in the ballot language. This <br />language has 75 words in it. <br />W <br />September 10, 1996 <br />
