a substantially completed set of plans for the Courthouse Annex and
alterations to the present Courthouse, and on Motion by Commissioner
Macdonald, seconded by Commissioner Waddell and passed, the plans were
accepted by the Board.
Mr. Robert T. Ware, Chief of the Sebastian Volunteer Fire Department,
appeared -before the Board and requested an increase in the amount budgeted
to the Department for the year 1966-67, stating this was necessary because
of the condition of the 1956 International firetruck. After discussion,
the Board requested Mr. Ware to bring in estimates for a new truck and to
find out how much the Volunteers will contribute to a new truck. Meanwhile,
the budgeted amount of $2,590.00 shall remain the same.
Mrs. Robert Hunt and Mrs. Willis Richards presented a petition
signed by residents of 35th' Avenue, requesting the Board to pave 35th
Avenue between 12th Street and 14th Street and to provide adequate
drainage to the area. The Board requested the Engineer to run a profile,
draw up a plan and make an estimate of the project. The Engineer was
also requested to find out what the Drainage District's plans are for
this area and if there is anything this Board can do to encourage them.

a diagonal and crosses Kings Highway and the access to his property. The
Engineer recommended building a three span bridge to give a east -west

of submerged land by Norbert F. Stanny et ux, and based on a more detailed
description furnished him, the application does not conflict with the
County's interests in Round Island Park.

Waddell and passed, all members of the Board, the County Attorney, Mr,
Jack Jennings, Mr. Bob Grice, Mr.,Eugene Hamilton, Mrs. Gladys Vigliano
and Mrs. Anne Smith and Ralph—Harris, Clerk, were authorized to attend

Commissioner Waddell and carried.

Mr. Joe B. Egan introduced Father Hugh J. Flynn, Father Singleton
and Father Killelea, priests of St. Helen®s Catholic Church. Father
Flynn told the Board that he was flabbergasted at conditions of homes
visited in the Gifford, Wabasso and Fellsmere areas and urged the Board
to give serious consideration to create a Public Housing Authority to
qualify for Federal aid. He said he had visited the homes built in
Cocoa and Ft. Pierce with Federal Aid and they are beautiful. He pre-
sented the Board with a list of suggestions for follow up of Public
Housing Appeal. The Board agreed to study the request.
The County Engineer presented a request from Mr. Robert Lloyd that
the County shift a portion of Oslo Road which lies three_.L3)'.milesgest
of Rangeline onto the county right of way in order to straighten it out °
and get it off private property. The request was referred to the Engineer,
who with Mr. Jennings, Mr. Lloyd and Mr. Graves, will view the area.:
The County Engineer reported that he feels the necessary improvements
have been completed in Vero Shores Unit #1, and is releasing and returning
the performance bond to General Development Corporation.
The County Engineer read a letter from General Development Corporation
requesting that they be allowed to retain the present bond provided by
Continental Casualty Co.for Vero Highlands Unit No. 2, inasmuchas they
expect to begin construction about February 1, 1967 and complete all work
by July, 1967. On Motion by Commissioner Waddell, seconded by Commissioner
Macdonald and carried, the Engineer was instructed to write General Dev-
elopment Corporation the following requests:
1. To advise the Board of the current status of their obtaining
title to the seven (7) lots in Vero Shores Unit 2.
2. To revise the Bond on Vero Highlands Unit No, 2 with the same
Surety, but to specifically include the items:lnnumerated in the
letter of June 22, 1966, written by County Engineer.
Commissioner Waddell moved, seconded by Commissioner Macdonald and
carried that a request be made to the State Park Board to send someone
to investigate the 500 acres of land which has been recently released
by Hobart Brothers, and that the Board pay the necessary expenses from
Tallahassee.
The Engineer reported that he has received a quotation from Airco
AUG 10 1966
NH racy 677
of Vero Beach in the amount of $312.00 to clean, seal and paint the
outside of twenty-nine airconditioning window units and four central
units. On Motion by Commissioner Waddell, seconded by Commissioner
Macdonald and carried, the Engineer was authorized to have this routine
maintenance done on the units.
The Engineer presented a report from the Fire Prevention Bureau,
City of Vero Beach on the inspection of the Coarthouse, The L.P. gas
operated generator in the basement would create an explosive fire hazard
should we get a leak in any of the hose lines, and the Bureau recommended
that it be vented out to the front and that a flash -proof fan unit be
installed. It was the opinion of the Board that an exhaust fan to run
continuously should be installed in view of the fact that there is other
equipment in the basement to cause sparks. The Bureau also recommended
that automatic pilots be installed on all L. P. gas heaters and an
estimate was received from Indian River Gas Company in the amount of
$442.00. No action was taken on this recommendation.
The County Engineer presented a proposed house and street numbering
system for Roseland. The Board suggested that before adoption, it should
be presented to the various Men's and Women's clubs in the area.
The Board authorized the County Engineer to advertise for bids
for tires to be used by the County.
The Engineer presented, recommendations from the State Road Department
for the intersection. of U.S.#1 and 12th Street which include right and
left turn lanes on U.S.#1, elimination of parking at least 275 feet
north and south of the intersection on U. S.#1, an-_extension')o£ the
raised curb on the north of Keen's Grocery and angle parking on 12th
Street, and the installation of a street light at the intersection.
bn motion by Commissioner Waddell, seconded by Commissioner Macdonald
and carried, the Board approved the recommendations and authorized
the Engineer to have a street light installed.
