MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Adams, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Eggert, that the <br />Board authorize staff to apply for the 1998 (Phase 2) <br />highway beautification grant; authorize the <br />Chairman to execute the Cash Deposit and Escrow <br />Agreement with Horizon, Ltd., as recommended by <br />staff, and adopt Resolution 98-027 for highway <br />beautification funding from the Florida Department <br />of Transportation. <br />Commissioner Macht emphasized that would still put the taxpayer in a position of <br />maintaining the landscaping of a private organization and felt it is not the right thing to do. <br />Chairman Tippin felt improvements need to be made out there and this is an <br />opportunity for the County to have others improve the area. The Chamber of Commerce has <br />been trying to improve the western entrance for years and the County will only have to pay <br />for maintenance. He believed this will be a benefit for all. <br />THE CHAIRMAN CALLED THE QUESTION and <br />the Motion passed by a 4-1 vote (Commissioner <br />Macht opposed). <br />DOCUMENTS ON FILE IN THE OFFICE <br />OF THE CLERK TO THE BOARD <br />WHEN EXECUTED AND RECEIVED <br />RESOLUTION NO. 98- 27 <br />A RESOLUTION OF INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA FOR HIGHWAY <br />BEAUTIFICATION FUNDING FROM THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF <br />TRANSPORTATION <br />WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners of Indian River County is interested in <br />carrying out the following described project for the enjoyment of the citizenry of Indian River <br />County, and the State of Florida: <br />Project Title: I-95/SR 60 Interchange Beautification (Phase 2) <br />Total Estimated Cost: $136,570 <br />Brief Description of Project: Landscape enhancements along the I-95/SR 60 on and off <br />ramps consisting of entry features, arrangements of palms, <br />Live oaks, understory trees, Bahia sod, native wild flowers , <br />and irrigation for establishment of the plantings; and <br />FEBRUARY 24, 1998 <br />-38- <br />0 0 <br />
