_I <br />Commissioner Tippin wanted the record to show that the Economic Development Council, <br />an advisory group to the Board, met and this subject came up. The matter was discussed extensively <br />and a resolution was passed supporting the transaction by a vote of 10 to 1. <br />The Vice Chairman called a break at 10:28 a.m. and the meeting was reconvened at 10:35 <br />a.m. with the same parties present. <br />Vice Chairman Ginn called the meeting to order. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Tippin, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Macht, that the Board <br />approve the Memorandum ofUnderstanding as adjusted. <br />Commissioner Stanbridge commented that this is a very complicated business deal and the <br />task given to Administrator Chandler has been accomplished. She supports the MOU and would like <br />to be around to celebrate the 75h anniversary of the Dodgers being in Vero Beach. <br />Vice Chairman Ginn stated that she has great affection for the Dodgers and know they do a <br />great deal of good in the community but she has serious concerns regarding this transaction. If this <br />does not have an economic impact and cause a rise in ad valorem taxes, she will remind the Board <br />of her concerns that -we could handle this. She felt it is wrong to help this very wealthy corporation <br />while not helping the small businessman. She could not support the motion due to her fiscally <br />conservative position. <br />Commissioner Macht believed that Indian River County could not "bail out" the Dodgers and <br />they certainly do not need "bailing out". He also felt the jobs brought to the community by the <br />Dodgers did not receive enough attention. <br />Mr. Callan stated that the Dodgers employ 275 people during the off-season and 450 in - <br />season. They have a 4.5 million -dollar payroll and take good care of their employees because they <br />do a good job. <br />BK 114 PG 328 <br />JULY 279 2000 -6- <br />0 0 <br />
