IT IS EASY FOR ME TO SEE WHY PEOPLE ARE SO ANGRY WITH GOVERNMENTAL <br />AGENCIES.WHEN THINGS DRAG ON LIKE THIS.WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR? SOMEONE <br />TO"DROWN; OR SOMEONE TO BE WAITING ON AN AMBULANCE THAT CAN'T GET THROUGH. <br />IF PRIVATE BUSINESSES OPPERATED LIKE THE COUNTY,THEY WOULD BE LINED <br />UP AT THE COURTHOUSE FILING FOR BANKRUPTCY.WHY DOES IT TAKE AN ACT OF <br />CONGRESS TO GET SOME BIGGER CULVERT PIPES PUT IN.SINCE INDIAN RIVER COUNTY <br />ABANDON US ON GIBSON ST.,WOULD THEY ELIMINATE OUR PROPERTY TAXES? <br />THANK YOU FOR LISTENING,THANK YOU FRED FOR READING THIS. <br />SINCERELY <br />awe� <br />FRANK AUBLE <br />Robert Dillard of 7875 130'' Street, advised that his whole house flooded in 1994 and <br />it cost $70,000 to repair. At that time, he was told the problem would be taken care of and <br />nothing has happened. He believed the culverts have to be bigger to handle the water and <br />the ditches have to be cleaned on a regular basis. <br />Commissioner Adams pointed out that Mr. Dillard also had some 4-H animals which <br />had to be evacuated during that flood. <br />Tommy Cox of the Knights of Columbus in Sebastian, advised that their Hall had <br />been built on 130' Avenue at an investment of over $300,000. When that Hall was built, <br />they had to abide by every rule and regulation which cost thousands of dollars. He felt that <br />it is time the Commission does something for the taxpayers. <br />Patricia Moyer of 7940 130' Street stated she bought her property one year ago and <br />did not know about the flooding problem at that time. She wound up with some very <br />unhappy tenants; had to wade in water over her knees; and had to repair mildewed walls and <br />replace water -soaked carpeting. <br />Fred Mensing of7580 129' Street reminded everyone that, at the time of Hurricane <br />Gordon in 1994, the intersection of 130' Street and 79' Avenue was impassable to <br />automobiles because of the water. Wal-Mart has been built since that time and has <br />contributed to the problem. He felt the culverts in that area are too small to handle the <br />drainage. <br />NOVEMBER 25, 1997 -19 111.03 <br />- <br />o <br />
