Roger J. Sherman <br />2476 Granada Avenue <br />Vero Beach, FL 32960 <br />Nov 1, 2000 <br />Board of County Commnsion <br />Indian Riva County , FL <br />Citizen Input for Nov a 2000 <br />Please honor my request to speak to the Indan River County Coniston regarding the following matter. <br />Lack of Wareing Berrys on P.LPI Artificial Rae/ <br />Sincerely, <br />Mager J. Stumm <br />Roger Sherman, 2476 Granada Avenue, expressed his concerns regarding missing <br />buoys on the PEP reef. He believed that the County's policy was to mark the reef with these <br />buoys and felt there could be some serius injury if the buoys are missing. He felt the County <br />was not abiding by its own policy in this matter. He stated that we hear about children <br />drowning and people falling down wells that are left uncovered and these incidents affect all <br />of us. If there were an accident and it was established that replacing the buoys had been <br />neglected, the injured party would be entitled to large damages. He noted that once before <br />he had failed to call attention to a dangerous matter and the outcome was a child's death. <br />This is a dangerous object which is submerged and hidden from view and the public has a <br />right to be protected from injuries and resultant lawsuits. He asked for better compliance and <br />leadership on thissmportant matter. He stated that he had been to the City of Vero Beach, <br />the State and the Governor and all advised him that this is Indian River County's <br />responsibility. <br />Chairman Adams asked Mr. Sherman to give some suggestions for compliance, and <br />Mr. Sherman said that he did not have those facts at hand but suggested installing the buoys <br />at staggered intervals or changing the shape to a more streamlined shape. <br />NOVEMBER 14, 2000 <br />-97- <br />BK 116 PG 109 <br />
