I BOOK F A G E PUBLIC DISCUSSION ITEM - FRANK ZORC REGARDING REFERENDUM (WASTE CONVERSION INDUSTRIAL PAM The Board reviewed a Memorandum of March 5, 1997: TO: Board of County Commissioners DATE: March 5, 1997 SUBJECT: Frank Zorc Request to Speak to BCC FROM: James E. Chandler fC� County Adminis for This date I advised Mr. Zorc that his request to appear before the Board at the March 11 meeting has been placed on the agenda I advised him that such requests have been consistently scheduled under the Public Discussion section of the agenda and that is where I have placed his request. Chairman Eggert requested that the presentation be limited to 15 minutes and that INRIVCO be considered a dead item. Mr. Frank Zorc advised he would take much less time and began his presentation with a lawyer/toxic waste story. He stressed that he felt very strongly that a referendum should be held to get the peoples views concerning the concept of a waste conversion _ industrial park at the Landfill. Mr. Zorc advised that he also supports changing the County to charter form of government, claiming that the primary reason the beach erosion dilemma was moved from the City of Vero Beach to the County was to avoid the City's charter requirement for a referendum vote of the electorate. Mr. Zorc advised that his purpose for appearing before them was to ask the Board to initiate more study for (1) changing to charter government and (2) a commitment to honor any valid voter - initiated petition for a referendum. He requested they respond to his remarks. Chairman Eggert was very concerned about the tactics used to stir up the community on the waste conversion process before anyone had the final information. She understood that flyers were out saying that garbage was going to be imported from New York and New Jersey, which she said was absurd when you think solely of the 20 March 11, 1997
