9.B <br />11 <br />rol <br />GG P <br />The Board reviewed a letter of July 16, 2001: <br />July 16th. 2001 <br />MARGARET A. GUNTER <br />Office of I.R. County Administration <br />Vero Beach, Fla. <br />Dear Ms. Gunter: <br />DF,AVI <br />Fax 978-1822 <br />i <br />Please place me on the Commission Agenda tinder Public Matters for the <br />tneeeting Tuesday July.?4th...1001. to discuss the 'Pending Dodger Deal". <br />Frank Zorc, 2044 DeLeon Avenue, read from prepared remarks. He spoke of the <br />pending Dodger deal as a very controversial matter. He noted that the Dodgers have <br />experienced difficulty and asked for a County -approved 90 -day extension. He specified that <br />this deal had never been advertised as a public hearing and, therefore, the Board had never <br />received public input. He was disappointed that the Board had not called a referendum on <br />this important decision in spite of his petition campaign calling for one. He asked the Board <br />to please consider the taxpayers were never invited to speak at a public hearing about this <br />matter. He advised that he is putting a new petition advertisement in the newspaper; the <br />responses are to be mailed to a company for a tally and later given to the Board. His motive <br />is not to see the Dodgers leave, but it is a profitable business and they should pay their own <br />way. He lamented the tragic loss of the Dodgertown Golf Course which will make way for <br />more concrete and asphalt.
