9.B.4. BRIAN HEADY - POLLUTION CONCERNS JOINT <br />COUNTY/SCHOOL MAINTENANCE FACILITY AD FUEL. <br />DEPOT <br />Brian Heady, Vero Beach, referred to the last meeting when he askc,d questions <br />about the site selected for the Joint County/School Maintenance Facility and Fuel Depot and <br />his concerns of pollution. He had made a public records request for information to confirm <br />statements made at that meeting. Executive Aide Kimberly Massung had provided him with <br />documents, but he claimed the public record is completely void of anything that says there <br />will be no further pollution. The documents spoke of planned remedial efforts, but he saw <br />nothing in the public record to indicate the pollution has been contained. <br />Mr. Heady displayed an illustration showing the plume where the County had bought <br />back the Humane Society property. He objected to the Board's plans to put County workers <br />there since it has not been demonstrated whether the pollution will impact those workers. <br />He was also concerned about the proximity of the plume to City of Vero Beach's wells. <br />Before the Board spends more money, he urged that someone provide the public record that <br />demonstrates there were remedial efforts undertaken on the site of the planned Facility, that <br />the pollution plume has been contained, and pollution has been stopped to the site and also <br />to the City's wells. <br />Chairman Macht noted that he had permitted Mr. Heady over 20 minutes to speak on <br />this point. Staff was instructed to give Mr. Heady the information on the conta nment data <br />of the plume, what the source was, and so forth. He also advised that many other factors had <br />gone into the selection of that site for the facility. <br />Commissioner Ginn suggested that Mr. Heady also examine the Utilities Advisory <br />Committee's minutes around the time of the date of the material she gave him. <br />February 4, 2003 <br />21 - �. <br />
