DEC 2 4 1967 BOOK 10 eAvi555 Smith, Heath, Smith & O'Haire, Attorneys At Law, Vero Beach, Florida On a Motion made by Commissioner Macdonald, seconded by Commissioner Bogosian the following resolution was unanimously adopted: RESOLUTTON'NO. 67L.' 79' The Board of County Commissioners of Indian River County, Florida, resolves 1. That this Board notes that the State Road Department of Florida, in its construction program of work for the year ending June 30, 1968, pro- poses to construct Interstate 95, State Road 9, from the Brevard County Line south to State Road 60 and upon completion of that construction, it is antici- pated that Interstate 95 will be completed from Jacksonville to State Road 60 in this county and said highway will undoubtedly generate a vast amount of traffic destined for the part of Florida south of Indian River County and the only available road to carry the traffic is State Road 60, which is a two laned road passing through the center of the City of Vero Beach. For more than ten years, this board has requested the State Road Department to widen and four lane State Road 60 and it is now apparent that the construction of Interstate 95 will bring to State Road 60 a volume of traffic far in excess of that imposed upon this already overloaded highway to such an extent that it appears to this board that it will be impossible for State Road 60 in its present condition to carry the traffic. This board is further aware of the fact that the State Road Department's proposed five year primary highways construction program for the fiscal year 1968 through 1972 proposes in three separate projects to four lane State Road 60 from Interstate 95 proceeding eastward to the Florida East Coast Railway but said construction will be after the arrival of the critical traffic mentioned above and will further aggravate an obviously impossible condition and in order to anticipate the apparent necessity of State Road 60 to carry Interstate 95 traffic until Interstate 95 is constructed further south, this board requests the State Road Department to immediately make a survey to establish means of handling this traffic and this board particularly requests that the proposed construction on State Road 60 begin in the next fiscal year at the Florida East Coast Railroad crossing and proceed west to Interstate 95 so that the proposed construction on State Road 60 will be completed prior to the completion of the juncture of Interstate 95 with State Road 60 and the State DEC 20 .06 nnot 10 mu556 Smith, Heath, Smith & O'Haire, Attorneys At Law, Vero Beach, Florida 7 Road Department, in conjunction with this county, make a study to determine feasible truck routes to by-pass the center of the City of Vero Beach. 2. This board has noted that the proposed construction of Inter- state 95 from State Road 60 to the St. Lucie County Line does not contemplate any interchange and this board strongly urges the State Road Department to resurvey the apparent necessity for an interchange at Oslo Road. This board points out to the State Road Department that since the original preliminary surveys were made for this section of that interstate highway, approximately 24, 000 acres of citrus have been planted in southern Indian River County and northern St. Lucie County and the marketing and processing of the citrus fruit from this vast area will require the movement of an estimated 10, 000, 000 boxes of citrus per year. All of the existing roads surfacing this area are presently roads of the secondary system and they will be completely inadequate to carry this huge volume of traffic. The only solution known to this board is to construct an interchange at Oslo Road for access to and from Interstate 95 and this board urgently requests that such an interchange be constructed. 3. That certified copies of this Resolution be furnished to the State Road Department at Tallahassee, the District Office at Fort Lauderdale, and the office of the Bureau of Public Roads at Tallahassee. Book 10 PAtE 55?. DEC 20196. Smith, Heath, Smith & O'Haire, Attorneys At Law, Vero Beach, Florida A Motion was made by Commissioner McCullers, seconded by Commissioner Bogosian and unanimously carried that the claim for damages of Mrs. Charlene Williams and Mr. Norbett E. Williams for injuries suffered in an automobile accident on Cherry Lane on December 8, 1966 be referred to the County Attorney and the County Insurance Carrier. A Motion was made by Commissioner Bogosian, seconded by Commissioner Macdonald and unanimously carried that the Board has received the report from the Supervisor of Elections, of her examination of the petition to establish a Special Improvement it Service District within the area described in the petition under the provision of Chapter 61-2277, Laws of Florida, and finds that the petition has been properly signed by the required number of qualified electors residing within the district who own real property and whosare registered as free holders. The County Attorney reported to the Board that the County has completed the portion of the purchase of Round Island Park from Julian and Lillian Lowenstein, and the portion of the purchase from A. L. and Fred F. Liebert is nearly completed. On a Motion made by Commissioner Bogosian, seconded by Commissioner McCullers and unanimously carried the dog resolution drafted by the County Attorney was referred to the County Administrator and the Humane Society of Vero Beach for suggestions as to details, license fees, etc., with the view of adopting it at a later meeting. On a Motion made by Commissioner McCullers, seconded by Commissioner Bogosian, the request of the Indian River Historical Commission to appoint Wally Skiscim, J. Noble Richards and Joe Michael to fill vacancies in the Commission was unanimously approved. The Board found no objections to the request of Commissioner Bogosian to presenty Griggs at a later meeting for the purpose of discussing insurance for some of the County employees. After some discussion, and due to the fact that Commissioner Dritenbas was absent from this meeting, a Motion was made by Commissioner McCullers, seconded by Commissioner Macdo d, 609k PAa8 DEC 201966 unanimously carried that the Public Hearing with respect to the adoption of the Resolution establishing a Building Code be adjourned to reconvene on January 10 at 10:00 o'clock A. M. On a Motion made by Commissioner Macdonald, seconded by Commissioner McCullers and unanimously carried the Board expressed its appreciation for the way Mr. Jennings, County Administrator, has handled his duties since he has been with the County; and that he will be given an increase in salary of one thousand dollars ($1,000) per year beginning the first of January 1968, in appreciation for his excellent management. A letter dated December 20 from the Indian River Safety Council in answer to the request of the Board that they investigate the proposed removal of a stop sign at the approximate location of 45th Avenue near Road 60 was received and read. The Council states that the stop sign should remain there until a traffic count is taken to determine if it could be eliminated and a yield sign put in its place. The Council suggested that there should be a reflectorized sign at the end of 45th Avenue and that stop: signs were needed where 21st Street enters 43rd Avenue and 44th Avenue. The Indian River Safety Council suggested that a Safety Program with the County might be planned after the first of the year; they also suggested that safety signs might be made a requirement in our subdivision ordinance before the subdivision roads are accepted by the County. The several bills and accounts against the County, having been audited were examined and found to be correct, were approved and warrants issued in settlement of same as follows: General Fund Nos. 401 to 446 inclusive, Road and Bridge Fund Nos. 501 to 531 inclusive Fine and Forfeiture Fund Nos. 791 to 799 inclusive. Such bills and accounts being on file in the office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court, and the warrants so issued from the respective funds being listed in the Supplemental Minute Book as provided by the rules of the State Auditor, reference to such record and list so recorded being made a part of these minutes. 800k 10 fla559 DSC 20'967 There being no further business, on Motion made, seconded and carried, the Board adjourned at 10:40 o'clock A.
