Mr. Frank Zorc, 2044 DeLeon Avenue, first corrected that "Gifford" should be <br />replaced with "Wabasso". Then he referred to his "seven" questions listed on his letter of <br />September 5, 2000, (copy has been filed with the backup for the meeting in the Office of the <br />Clerk to the Board) concerning the purchase of Hibiscus Manor about which he was unable <br />to get answers from either Administrator Chandler or County Attorney Bangel. He was, <br />therefore, bringing his questions to the Board of County Commissioners. He questioned the <br />purchase concerning contamination clearances, County funding for the "Indian River <br />Homeless Services Council" and Commissioner Macht's membership on that same board, <br />employee selections, compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, and affiliation <br />with the Samaritan Center. <br />Mr. Zorc then expounded on what he referred to as a "far more important item", <br />substandard housing and lack of water supply in the Wabasso community. He had spoken <br />of this concern during a TV election forum and had subsequently received information from <br />the County's Health Department. He implored the Board to review the information in his <br />handout and to pursue correction to assure minimum healthy living standards for every <br />individual in the county. He stated he was "making a peaceful demand on this County <br />Commission government to pursue correction of a flagrant omission of your duty to assure <br />minimum healthy living standards to every individual in this county." He found it appalling <br />that these situations were overlooked and that the Board has instead prioritized the "Dodger <br />Deal" and the "Sand Pumping Plan". He requested the Board to take a hard look and to <br />modify their spending priorities; "ignoring this deplorable situation could result in very <br />costly legal actions to force resolving the disgraceful situations." He requested the <br />Commissioners to respond to this issue in the very near future. <br />Chairman Adams thanked Mr. Zorc and announced the next item. <br />September 5, 2000 <br />76 <br />BK I I 4 PG 8 I 0 <br />
