VICE CHAIRMAN FRAN ADAMS - COMMENTS <br />REGARDING INDIAN RIVER LAGOON SCENIC HIGHWAY <br />Commissioner Adams stated that she had spoken with Ted Moorhead of the Brevard <br />County Marine Resources Council. Brevard and Indian River Counties are in the <br />Lauderdale Department of Transportation group.

Indian River County could loop it and include US#1 in Sebastian over the <br />Wabasso Causeway and north on AIA. <br />Chairman Macht commented that he had been asked how Indian River County keeps <br />the communication towers out, and County Attorney Vitunac noted that our ordinance is a <br />model for other counties. <br />ONMOTIONby Commissioner Grin, SECONDED <br />by Commissioner Stanbridge, the Board <br />unanimously approved the cooperative effort with <br />Brevard County for the Indian River Lagoon Scenic <br />Highway project. <br />13.B.3. VICE CHAIRMAN FRAN ADAMS - COMMENTS <br />REGARDING ITEM OF PERSONAL PRIVILEGE <br />Vice Chairman Adams read from the following remarks which she felt should be <br />placed in the public record: <br />As a matter of personal privilege, I would like to place in the public record an <br />incident that has surfaced which I believe is political in nature and of which the <br />Commission needs to be aware. Some nine months ago, I was informed that I was being <br />investigated by the Sheriffs Department for the alledged disposal of surplus fire hose. <br />Shortly thereafter, I was also informed that when the Sheriffs investigation produced <br />nothing of substance, the Sheriff requested an investigation of the matter by the Florida <br />Department of Law Enforcement. <br />On Friday, April 16, I was called by a reporter who said he understood that <br />charges had been filed against me by Sheriff Gary Wheeler. I can only presume that this <br />relates to the preceding incident. <br />For the record I have requested Sheriff Wheeler to provide me with all <br />correspondence and communication of any kind with any agency involving any activity in <br />which I am alledged to have been a part. <br />APRIL 209 1999 <br />-55- <br />BOOK 109 PAGE <br />� <br />Q <br />
