On Motion by Commissioner Macdonald, seconded by Commissioner
Waddell and unanimously carried, the following Resolution was adopted:
RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, Indian River County is hampered in its Secondary Road
Program due to insufficient funds to purchase rights-of-way for
needed roads and to construct roads required by Indian River County
due to its tremendous growth and that the requirements for roads
have far surpassed our ability to secure rights-of-way and construct
roads out of present funds; and
WHEREAS, it,was necessary, in order to construct the Bridge
across the Sebastian Inlet and to complete AlA, for Indian River
County to contribute to the State Road Department the sum of
$600,000 toward the construction costs of A1A from Wabasso Road to
the Sebastian Inlet, and said funds are being paid out of our Sec-
ondary Road Funds; and
WHEREAS, the'costs of rights-of-way are increasing continually
and it therefore becomes extremely important for this County to
acquire all needed rights-of-way for roads in our road program as
soon as humanly possible; and
WHEREAS, it has become evident to this Board that the cost of
.road construction has increased by about 50% during the last ten
years and it therefore is highly desirable to construct our needed
road system as soon as possible in order to keep the actual cost of
construction down; and
WHEREAS, it appears that it is going to be necessary for this
County to participate in the purchase of road rights -of -away for State
Road 60 and in order to have sufficient funds for this purchase, it
will be necessary for this Board to borrow money to have funds available
when it becomes time for the road right-of-way purchase; and
WHEREAS, the Legislature of the State of Florida has set up a
program for the lending of funds to counties for Secondary Road Projects
and Primary Road Projects, which said program includes the use of these
funds for rights-of-way and for road^construction purposes; and
WHEREAS, it has further become apparent that it will be nec-
essary for this Board to furnish funds for the survey of the right-
of-way for the road leading from.U.S.#16.tiie'Wabisso Bridge
and from the Wabasso Bridge East to AlAs
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of County Com-
missioners of Indian. River County, Florida, in regular session on
this the 22nd day of September, A. D. 1965, that this Board does

Indian River County in securing a loan under the Secondary Road
Trust Fund in the amount of $500,p00 andthat this Board does hereby
authorize the Chairman of the Board to make the.official request
for the borrowing of. these funds and that these funds shall be
used for the acquisition of primary and secondary rights-of-way
and for the construction of secondary roads in accordance with the
Indian River County road plan as .set forth by this Board and
approved.by the State Road Department;
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this Resolution be .for-
warded to the State Road Department, Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Commissioner Macdonald moved that the County Engineer. be directed
to work up a road program for the use of this .money and the estimated
cost of the program for the Board to review in order that a sufficient
amount of this loan can be retained for the purChase-of rights-of-way
for State -Road 60. Motion -was seconded by Commissioner Haffield and
