After general discussion of the need for the additional personnel, the Board instructed the Sheriff to attempt to reapply next year, bringing the information back to the Board during the initial budget considerations. ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by Commissioner Macht, the Board unanimously denied the grant request and directed that an application be made at an earlier date for the next fiscal year. Sheriff Wheeler then gave a brief report on the Round Island Park issue and advised he had found that area on South Beach to be one of the safest zones in the County. There is a deputy assigned there 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. The only major complaint received was when one of the deputies found a mosquito control pump vandalized with damage estimated at $8,000 to $25,000. Commissioner Macht stated that perhaps an intergovernmental agreement could be worked out with the St. Lucie County Sheriff's Department, and Sheriff Wheeler advised he would speak to Sheriff Knowles. 8.B.
