ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by Commissioner Ginn, the Board unanimously approved the renewal of the EMS Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity for Lifeline Medical Services, Inc. for a Class "D" Certificate to be effective for a period of 2 years from March 1, 1997 to March 2, 1999, as recommended by staff. COPY OF CERTIFICATE IS ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF THE CLERK TO THE BOARD OLD GIFFORD TAYCEES BUILDING - 4716 33RD AVENUE The Board reviewed a Memorandum of February 13, 1997:, Date: February 13, 1997 To: Honorable Board of County Commissioners Thru: James E. Chandler County Administrator From: H.T. "Sonny" Dean, Direct / Department of General Services Subject: Old Gifford Jaycees Building - 4716 33rd Avenue BACKGROUND: In 1994 the County entered into a Lease Agreement with the Indian River Ministerial Council for use of the subject facility. Reverend Eugene Idelett, Chairman of the Council had expressed a desire to renovate the facility and use it as a boxing gym for the young people of Gifford Reverend Idelett has been very adamant about reaching his goal with the facility. However, he has not been able to receive the help that was promised or raise all the monies necessary for the project. To date he has personally performed most all the clean-up himself. Although paragraph seven of this lease stated "Said renovations shall be completed within 6 months of the execution of this lease", staff has been very lenient with the lessee due to this worth while project and no other need for the property. The Building Department notified this writer in December of 1996 of several complaints from citizens of Gifford concerned about the unsightly condition of the property. Based on this staff visited the site and made photographs of the building to compare renovation progress with pictures made in 1994. There was no noticeable improvement to the outside appearance of that facility. Reverend Idelett was notified by registered mail of the complaints and to show cause why his lease should not be canceled He came in to address the situation and promised to take immediate action to improve appearance of the building or face termination of the lease. On January 31, 1997 the Gifford Jaycees made written request to take the subject building, immediately make all necessary renovations and use the facility for their club house. Staff met with representatives to discuss their plans and advised them of the present lease with the Indian River Ministerial Council. After hearing their proposal, I requested they contact Eugene Idelett to ascertain whether or not the building could serve both purposes. The Reverend Idelett visited this office and advised he had been contacted by several people about the proposed joint venture with the Jaycees. He was not opposed to the idea but was not sure an agreement could be reached The Jaycees also stated, on a visit February 10, 1997, they were ready to proceed with their project but did not want to spend all that effort and money without having control over how the building was going to be used.
