5.C. PRESENTATION OF A DONATION FOR THE OLD FELLSMERE <br />SCHOOL RESTORATION FUND (HISTORICAL SOCIETY/JOHN <br />SCHUMANN FOUNDATION) <br />Clarence "Korky" Korker presented a ceremonial check for $20,000 to Chairman <br />Stanbridge for the Old Fellsmere School Restoration Fund from the Historical Society which <br />carne through from the John Schumann Foundation. <br />Fellsmere Mayor Joel Tyson advised that the restoration program is still alive and <br />well and some things have started happening. There is still a need to get another $1,000,000 <br />toward the completion of this facility. It will be a great facility when completed and he <br />thanked the Board for their help. <br />5.D. PRESENTATION BY GENERAL SERVICES DIRECTOR TOM <br />FRAME ON THE RENOVATION OF THE OLD FELLSMERE SCHOOL <br />General Services Director Tom Frame credited "Korky" Korker, Mayor Joel Tyson, <br />Commissioner Adams, and Chairman Stanbridge for their strong support of this effort. He <br />advised that nearly $600,000 have already raised from the following sources: $116,000 Save <br />Our School Committee (with $50,000 of that reserved for the restoration of the auditorium <br />on the top floor of the building); miscellaneous donations of $4,698; the Schumann <br />Foundation donation in the amount of $20,000; and the Harriet V. and Harry T. Moore <br />grants totaling $150,000. During the last legislative session a Florida Historical Grant was <br />provided in the amount of $250,000. It all adds up to over $540,000 which is a substantial <br />start but short of the total needed. He reported that the exterior of the building was nearly <br />complete and then most of the work will shift to the interior. <br />6.A. APPROVAL OF MINUTES - JANUARY 22, 2002 <br />The Chairman asked if there were any corrections or additions to the Minutes of the <br />Regular Meeting of January 22, 2002, there were none. <br />March 5, 2002 <br />4 <br />
