S. C. DORI SLOSBERG DRIVER EDUCATION SAFETY ACT - INDIAN RIVER <br />COUNTY TRAFFIC EDUCATION PROGRAM TRUST FUND <br />Commissioner Flescher pulled this item to point out that the funds from the $3.00 traffic <br />surcharge are intended to fund traffic education programs, and wondered why Traffic Education <br />programs were not being offered at schools. He asked Management and Budget Director Jason <br />Brown to provide an account of the unencumbered funds. <br />Management and Budget Director Jason Brown provided background on the inception of <br />the additional $3.00 traffic penalty fee, and addressed Commissioner Flescher's concerns. <br />Commissioner Flescher suggested appealing to the School Board for reconsideration of <br />the program. <br />A brief discussion ensued regarding traffic citations. <br />Tax Collector Carole Jean Jordan noted that she had requested the School Board to re- <br />implement the Drivers Education Training program. <br />Chairman O'Bryan said he would send a letter to the School District asking if they would <br />like to reconsider and implement a drivers' education program, and if they indicate an interest, <br />the Board would need to decide how to fund it. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Flescher, SECONDED <br />by Vice Chairman Davis, the Board unanimously accepted <br />the Report of the Indian River County Traffic Education <br />Program Trust Fund from the inception of the $3 fee <br />(October 1, 2002) through September 30, 2013, as <br />recommended in the memorandum of November 15, 2013. <br />BK ! 4 4 PG 640 <br />December 3, 2013 5 <br />
