IT SHOULD BE TERMINATED.

DEALING WITH NOTHING BUT JUVENILES AND CAN WORK WITH THEM IN EVERY WAY,
INCLUDING THROUGH THE SCHOOL SYSTEM. HE NOTED THAT THE PAPERWORK 1
AUG 10,977 BOOK 30 PAI-jr-296
REQUIRED ON JUVENILES IS THE SAME AS FOR ADULTS. SHERRIFF .JOYCE RE-
QUESTED THAT THE BOARD SIGN THE PROPOSED RESOLUTION SO HE COULD GET

A VERY FINE PROJECT,

JUVENILES.

AREA IS GREAT, AND IT HAS BEEN NECESSARY TO SEND A LOT OF THE JUVENILES TO THE FORT TIERCE
DETENTION CENTER AS WE HAVE NO PLACE FOR THEM HERE.

AS WORDED COULD MAKE US RESPONSIBLE FOR HALF OF THE COST AS WELL AS
ADDITIONAL EXPENSES.
THE SHERIFF STATED THAT THIS IS STANDARD WORDING AND IT HASN'T
WORKED OUT THAT WAY IN THE PAST.
DISCUSSION FOLLOWED AS TO THE POSSIBLE DUPLICATION OF SERVICES
WITH YOUTH GUIDANCE VOLUNTEERS AND THE DIVISION OF YOUTH SERVICES, BUT
SHERIFF .JOYCE NOTED THESE AGENCIES ARE ONLY FOR COUNSELING AND DO NOT DO
ANY INVESTIGATING. HE FELT THE AREA REQUIRES MUCH MORE ATTENTION.
THE BOARD NEXT DISCUSSED CHANGING THE REQUIREMENT IN PARAGRAPHS
5 AND S OF THE RESOLUTION TO MAKE THE SHERIFF RESPONSIBLE FOR FURNISHING
ALL RECORDS AND INFORMATION INSTEAD OF THE ADMINISTRATOR, BUT INTER-
GOVERNMENTAL COORDINATOR THOMAS STATED THIS WOULD NOT BE ACCEPTABLE TO

sponsible for their administration of the project. As Pro-
ject Director, the Sheriff will form an Advisory Board of

ment agencies in the county to work with him towards effective
administration of the project.

separate but overlapping shifts, and will be receiving agents
for juvenile referrals to law enforcement throughout the county.
They will be available to other community agencies for advice
in establishing youth programs, and will conduct educational
programs concerning criminal justice in the schools and comm-
unity. They will work closely with the Department of Health &
Rehabilitation Service intake counselors and youth probation
officers. Files will be maintained on each child with whom
they come in contact, and officers will be available.to parents
for consultation concerning juvenile crime.

COMMISSIONER LOY THAN WENT OVER HOW THE BOARD APPLIED AND RE-
APPLIED TO EDA FOR GRANT MONEY FOR THIS PURPOSE AND WAS ONLY SUCCESSFUL
IN OBTAINING ABOUT 1/2 THE MONEY NEEDED, SHE CONTINUED THAT IT IS GOOD
FINANCIAL PLANNING TO BE PREPARED IN THE DIFFERENT AREAS WHERE MONIES

FROM, COMMISSIONER Loy STATED THAT SHE FEELS NOW IS THE TIME FOR US TO

PAT FLOOD -AND (`NICK SUIT APPEARED BEFORE THE BOARD REPRESENTING
THE NORTH INDIAN RIVER COUNTY IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION TO DISCUSS ROADS
IN THE FELLSMERE AREA AND A COLLECTOR STATION.
NICK SUIT STATED THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL MILES OF ROADS IN
THE FELLSMERE AREA WITH HOUSES ON THEM, WHICH HAVE GREAT PROBLEMS WITH
MAINTENANCE. HE NOTED THAT THEY CAME TO THE BOARD ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO
AND DID GET PERMISSION TO GET SOME ROADS MAINTAINED IN THE FELLSMERE
AREA] BUT STATED THAT THE MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN SLACKING OFF AND THE ROADS
ARE GETTING IN PRETTY RANK CONDITION, MR, SUIT INFORMED THE BOARD THAT
HE HAS A LIST OF ROADS WHICH THEY WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE COUNTY MAINTAIN.
THERE ARE 138 HOUSES ON THESE ROADS, OR ABOUT 6.6 HOUSES PER MILE OF
ROAD, AND MR. SUIT SAID THAT WITH PROPER ROAD MAINTENANCE, HE FELT THERE
WOULD BE MORE DEVELOPMENT IN THIS AREA WHICH WOULD BRING IN MORE TAXES.
HE ALSO REPORTED THAT THE FELLSMERE WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT HAD STATED
THAT IF THERE WAS ANY MORE PAPERWORK THE COUNTY WOULD REQUIRE TO MAINTAIN
THESE ROADSo THEY WOULD BE HAPPY TO COOPERATE.
MR, SUIT INFORMED THE BOARD THAT PEOPLE IN THE FELLSMERE AREA
DUMP GARBAGE AT UNAUTHORIZED *SITES AND ON ONE STREET IN PARTICULAR . KN0 4N
AS PARK LATERAL. HE POINTED OUT THAT THE REASON THIS HAS OCCURRED IS
THAT THERE IS NO DUMP STATION IN THE AREA, AND IT IS NECESSARY TO DRIVE
25 MILES ROUND TRIP TO GET TO THE COUNTY DUMP, MR, SUIT SAID HE UNDER—
STOOD THAT THE COUNTY HAS A COLLECTOR STATION FOR THIS AREA IN THE PLANNIN
STAGES, BUT HE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW JUST WHAT THE PLANS ARE,
MR. SUIT ALSO SAID HE WOULD LIKE TO GET AN ACCOUNTING OF THE
AD VALOREM TAXES PAID IN DISTRICT 1, WHICH COVERS THE NORTH PART OF THE

ROAD, NOTING THAT ABOUT 5 OR 6 YEARS.AGO IT WAS PROMISED THAT THE DUMP

AUG 10 1977 BOOK

ROAD WOULD BE PAVED. HE STATED THAT SEVERAL HUNDRED CARS A DAY GO
OVER THIS ROAD AND WHEN YOU GET A LOT OF TRAFFIC ON MARL, YOU NEED TO
GRADE IT AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK. HE THEN ASKED, WHEN, WHERE, HOW, AND
IF EVER, WILL THE MORTH COUNTY GET A GRADER UP IN THEIR AREA, POINTING
OUT THAT THEY HAVE ENOUGH DIRT ROADS RIGHT NOW IN THIS AREA TO REQUIRE
A GRADER FULL TIME, HE FELT THEY PAY ENOUGH TAXES TO JUSTIFY THIS.
ISR. SUIT AGREED THAT EVEN THOUGH THEY GET SOME MAINTENANCE
IN THE FELLSMERE AREAS THE WAY THAT THE GRADERS ARE GRADING THE ROADS
IS NOT SUFFICIENT TO KEEP THE ROAD PASSABLE FOR MORE THAN A DAY OR TWO
AFTER THEY ARE GRADED.
COMMISSIONER DEESON SAID HE RECOGNIZED THAT THE PROBLEM
CANNOT BE SOLVED INSTANTLY, BUT DOES FEEL THAT IT IS THE BOARD S
RESPONSIBILITY TO WORK WITH THE PEOPLE IN THE NORTH END OF THE COUNTY
AND TRY TO SET UP A BETTER MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE AND TAKE ON SOME OF THE
ROADS WHERE THERE ARE ENOUGH HOUSES.
CHAIRMAN VIODTKE ASKED ADMINISTRATOR JENNINGS TO EXPLAIN OUR
ROUTINE FOR MAINTENANCE OF ROADS.
ADMINISTRATOR JENNINGS STATED HE WOULD HAVE TO AGREE WITH
MANY OF THE REMARKS MADE BY MR. SUIT AND MR, FLOOD. HE NOTED THAT THE
ROADS THAT ARE BEING MAINTAINED UP THERE WERE SET FORTH IN AN AGREEMENT
OF SEPTEMBER 10, 1975, WITH FELLSMERE WATER MANAGEMENT !DISTRICT, THESE
ARE THE ONLY ROADS THE ROAD AND BRIDGE DEPARTMENT WAS GIVEN PERMISSION
TO GO ON, THE ADMINISTRATOR NOTED THAT THERE ARE LEGAL PROBLEMS INVOLVED
THAT GO BACK MANY YEARS AND HAVE BEEN DISCUSSED TIME AND AGAIN, BUT NEVER
RESOLVED, HE CONTINUED THAT THE COUNTY HAS FIVE GRADERS AND OVER 4OO
MILES OF SUB—STANDARD ROADS TO KEEP UP, HE ALSO NOTED THAT IF YOU GRADE
A ROAD TODAY AND GET A HARD RAIN IN THE EVENING AND RUN TRAFFIC OVER IT,
THE.GRADING IS TO NO EFFECT. THE ADMINISTRATOR EXPLAINED THAT WE WORK
THE GRADERS IN A CIRCLE AROUND THE COUNTY, BUT WILL PULL THEM OUT OF
THEIR ROUTINE WHEN THEY ARE NEEDED FOR AN EMERGENCY, THE ADMINISTRATOR
WENT ON TO POINT OUT THE DIFFICULTY OF MAINTAINING ROADS WHICH ARE
GROWING SMALLER AND SMALLER AS THE WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT PLACES THE
MATERIAL THEY DIG OUT OF THE DRAINAGE DITCHES IN THE ROADWAY. HE NOTED
THAT THIS, COUPLED WITH THE FENCES BUILT TO CONTAIN THE CATTLE, DOESNIT
LEAVE ENOUGH ROOM FOR A GOOD SIZE GRADER TO MANIPULATE, THE ADMINISTRATOR
19
AUG 101977
BOOK 30 PAGE 3J
CONTINUED THAT THE AREA IS GROWING NOW, AND HE FELT WE WILL HAVE TO
•OBTAIN ADDITIONAL RIGHT-OF-WAY TO COPE WITH THE PROBLEM, BECAUSE IT
YOU TRY TO CLEAR THE EXISTING RIGHTS-OF-WAY AND PULL UP ANY BARBED WIRE
FENCES AND PALMETTOS, ETC., THE COUNTY. WILL BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES,
HE ALSO POINTED OUT THAT THE DRAINAGE DISTRICT HOLDS THE TITLE TO THE
RIGHTS-OF-WAY AND COULD DIG A CANAL WHERE YOU PUT A ROAD.
CHAIRMAN I4ODTKE STATED IN ORDER TO ADD MORE ROADS TO OUR PRE-
SENT LIST, WE WILL HAVE TO REVISE OUR AGREEMENT WITH THE DRAINAGE DIS-
TRICT AND WILL HAVE TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE ROOM TO PUT OUR GRADERS OUT
THERE WITHOUT INCURRING DAMAGES,
COMMISSIONER DEESON FELT THE COUNTY SHOULD GIVE SOME CONSIDERA-
TION TO A REGULAR MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE. HE NOTED HE HAD CHECKED WITH
A NEIGHBORING COUNTY, AND THEY HAVE A MAN ASSIGNED TO EVERY 59 MILES OF ROAD,
PAT FLOOD CLAIMED THAT THE ROADS IN THIS PART OF THE COUNTY
NEVER GET IN AS BAD SHAPE AS THE ROADS IN THE NORTH PART OF THE COUNTY.
HE ASKED THAT THE COUNTY MAINTAIN WHAT HAS BEEN AGREED ON SO FAR AND
POSSIBLY ADD A FEW ROADS, HE STATED THAT TO HIS KNOWLEDGE PARK LATERAL
HAS POT HAD A GRADER ON IT IN TWO MONTHS NOR OLD ROSELAND ROAD,
DICK SUIT TALKED ABOUT LIMITED DEDICATION AND STATED THAT THERE
IS NO WAY THE DRAINAGE DISTRICT CAN WIDEN THE CANAL'S OUT TO TAKE IN THE
ENTIRE RIGHT-OF^WAY AS THERE MUST BE ENOUGH LEFT FOR VEHICLES TO HAVE
INGRESS AND EGRESS,
ADMINISTRATOR JENNINGS POINTED OUT THAT THE FEE TITLE REMAINS
VESTED IN THE DRAINAGE DISTRICT, AND THE COUNTY CANNOT GO IN AND -WORK
ON RIGHTS-OF-WAY THAT THEY DO NOT OWN UNLESS THEY HAVE AN AGREEMENT.
CHAIRMAN WODTKE DISCUSSED THE DUMP STATION FOR THIS AREA, NOTIN(=
THAT THIS HAS BEEN INCLUDED IN OUR PLAN BY OUR RESOURCE RECOVERY ENGINEERS
BUT HE DOES NOT KNOW THE EXACT LOCATION,
ADMINISTRATOR JENNINGS INFORMED THOSE PRESENT THAT IN ORDER TO
GET PERMISSION TO BUILD THE LANDFILL, IT WAS NECESSARY TO PRESENT OVERALL
PLANS; COLLECTION'STATIONS FOR FELLSMERE AND THE GIFFORD AREA WERE
INCLUDED; AND THERE IS MONEY CARRIED INTO THE BOND ISSUE FOR THE BUILDING
OF THESE STATIONS, HE ALSO STATED THAT THE REASON THE ROAD INTO THE
ROSELAND DUMP WAS NOT PAVED WAS BECAUSE OF A RIGHT-OF-14AY PROBLEM.
PAT FLOOD POINTED OUT THAT THIS PAVING HAS BEEN DELAYED FIVE
YEARS, AND HE DID NOT BELIEVE THE PUBLIC WAS EVER INFORMED THAT THERE
20
t
ko®K 30 mu 307� i

WAS A RIGHT-OF-WAY PROBLEM, HE FELT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN HANDLED MORE
EFFICIENTLY AND PEOPLE MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM SO THEY POSSIBLY
COULD HELP,
MR. SUIT QUESTIONED THE TRUTH OF STATEMENTS MADE BY THE ADMINIS-
TRATOR AND THE BOARD AND INFORMED THE130ARD THAT THEY WANT TO GET DOWN
TO THE "NITTY-GRITTY" AND GET SOME KIND OF ACTION - POSSIBLY HAVE A
--- SPECIAL MEETING,
MR. FLOOD AGREED THAT NOTHING COULD BE SOLVED IN ANOTHER FIVE
MINUTES AND ALSO REQUESTED A SPECIAL MEETING BE HELD TO GO OVER THIS,
COMMISSIONER Loy STATED THAT SHE DID NOT ANTICIPATE ANYTHING
• COULD BE SOLVED TODAY, BUT WANTED TO HEAR WHAT MR. SUIT AND MR, FLOOD
HAD TO SAY AND FELT WE SHOULD SET UP A SPECIAL MEETING.
CHAIRMAN WODTKE INFORMED MR. SUIT AND MR. FLOOD THAT COM-
MISSIONER DEESON WOULD BE IN TOUCH WITH THEM TO SET UP -A MEETING.
ADMINISTRATOR JENNINGS ASKED THAT THE RECORD SHOW THAT
ALTHOUGH THERE MAY BE DIFFERENCES AS TO INTERPRETATION OF IDEAS, HE
CHALLENGED ANYONE TO DOCUMENT THAT ANYTHING HE HAS SAID IS NOT TRUE
BECAUSE EVERYTHING HE HAS SAID TO THESE GENTLEMEN THIS MORNING IS BACKED
• UP IN HIS FILES,
MR, SUIT REMARKED THAT "POSSIBLY WHAT I SAID CAME OUT A LITTLE
WRONG," MR, FLOOD NOTED THAT THE ROADS ARE DEDICATED TO THE "PUBLIC"
• AND ARE SUPPOSED TO BE MAINTAINED FOR THE "PUBLIC." HE FELT THE BOARD
DOES NOT UNDERSTAND THE DEFINITION OF THE WORD "PUBLIC" AND ASKED THAT
THEY SUPPLY HIM WITH A DEFINITION,
ATTORNEY COLLINS INFORMED MR, FLOOD THAT THESE ROADS ARE DEDI-
CATED TO THE DISTRICT AND WE HAVE AN AGREEMENT WITH THEM, BUT STATED THAT
HE WOULD BE GLAD TO MEET WITH MR. FLOOD AND DISCUSS THIS WITH HIM BETWEEN
NOW AND THE NEXT MEETING.

Toe The Board of County Commissioners of Indian River County!
SubJecta Letter from the Gifford Civic League Ten Years Ago;
1. The Gifford Progressive Civic League made its first appeal
to upgrade+ take over or take whatever•steps were necessary
to provide good water to the citizenry of Gifford. Ten rears
later we make the same appeal.
2. We need a county -wide water drogramq an operation opened
to all citizens who want good water.
3. We ask that you plan now and proceed with haste to correct
our serious water problems and include all of Gifford in
Your plans.
. Engineering plans should include running lines to any
area not presently served in the Gifford area.
4. With all of the federal money floating around why should
we continue to let this disgrace go on and on and on . . .?
5. We ask that the County Commission station one of its
collection trucks or tanks at the old dump entrance ton a
daily basis+ 7 a.m. to 4 P.m.) until roy. complete a collection
station at the old dump site. Something has to be done to
avoid other problems from dumping garbage. We definitely
need some action on this now.
6. The Gifford Progressive Civic League and Community
Recreation Committee is asking the Board of County Commissioners
to Provide restrooms for the Community Park site now under
construction.in the Gifford area.
We need county assistance on this project+ and we+ too,
are working to contribute something to help make this an
Ideal and attractive site.
Restroom facilities for males and females will help
us in reaching our goal to set up a picnic area by September.
We will appreciate your approval.
7. Thank you for your time and all considerations.

Chairman of the Board,
We the Gifford Jaycees X261, voice 'the opinion of the
concern citizens of the Gifford Community. As you know we
the citizens of the Gifford area have a very serious and
dangerous water problem.
The people of the Gifford Area are in need of good
water,and good water facilities. If nothing is done about
this problem, we fear that an epidemic.is in store for the
community as well as the county. We also feel that the
county has an obligation to its citizens and that why we're.
here today. With our problem we feel that we have been
neglected and ignored. We have talked of our problem and
have been told that the answer lies with U -I -U, which is a
privately owned corporation that only serve about one-third
of ntr =:ea.
We would like for you, the committee, to just think a-
bout what we are asking for, and why we're here, Our water
problem has reached a crucial level. Your immediate attent-
ion toward a solution bo our problem is essential.
Yours in Jaycee -ism,

Dear Sirs
As president of the local N.A.A.C.P. several questions have been
raised in which I am unable to factual answer at this time, there-
fore I am submitting these question to your attention and immediate
reply.
1. What are the current exact plans for improving the Gifford
water situation, and making clean water available to all of
the Gifford Community?
2. According to the Press approximately $365,000.00 has been
appropriate to make water available to Gifford residents. It
has also been brought to my attention_ that the estimated cost
to complete the project is estimated at w670,000.00 which
represent $305,000.00 in excess of the current available funds.
What alternative plans has been made by the Commissioner to
generate additional funds to meet the $670,000.00 needed?
Your immediate reply will be most appreciated.
.Respectfully yours,
J. L. Holt

SITUATION. MR, LUNDY NOTED THAT THE WATER SITUATION HAS BEEN A PROBLEM
FOR AS LONG AS TEN YEARS. HE CONTINUED THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE BOARDD1S
PLANS TO BRING WATER TO GIFFORD V,IA PIPELINES AND A TANK, BUT THEY WANT
TO KNOW IF ALL GIFFORD HOMES WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE PLAN AND WHETHER
THE PRESENT WATER ALLOTMENT WILL BE ENOUGH TO SERVE ALL OF GIFFORD OR
JUST THOSE IN THE H.D A FRANCHISE AREA.
i
SMR. LUNDY STATED THAT THEY ARE NOT HERE TO REPRESENT U.T),U.,
BUT ARE REPRESENTING ALL THE VARIOUS SECTIONS OF GIFFORD. MR. LUNDY
CONTINUED THAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT A SYSTEM THAT HAS BEEN A MENACE
TO THE COMMUNITY AND IS A DISGRACE TO THE COUNTY, AND WHILE WE ARE
TALKING AND WAITING AND WAITING AND WAITING, RESIDENTS OF GIFFORD HAVE
TO CONTINUE TO DRINK THIS UNCLEAN, UNSAFE WATER. MR. LUNDY THEN PRE-
SENTED THE BOARD WITH A THERMOS OF GIFFORD WATER FOR THEM TO SAMPLE.
HE ASKED IF THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE TO WAIT FOR A SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM
UNTIL AN EPIDEMIC OCCURS.
CHAIRMAN WODTKE INFORMED THOSE PRESENT THAT WE ARE YOUR REPRE-
SENTATIVES, AND EVEN THOUGH SOME OF YOUR PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN CAUSED By
FEDERAL AGENCIES, IT IS OUR MORAL RESPONSIBILITY. THE CHAIRMAN NOTED
THAT ONE OF OUR PROBLEMS IS THAT WE DO NOT HAVE DIRECT COMMUNICATION
WITH FHA; AND WE ALSO HAVE TO, BE SURE THAT WHEN WE DO GET THE WATER TO
GIFFOR13THE PEOPLE WILL BE ABLE TO AFFORD IT.
JIM HOLT, PRESIDENT OF THE LOCAL BRANCH OF THE N.A.A.C.P „
NOTED THAT RIGHT NOW IT COSTS HIM A CAlRa AMOUNT TO PAY FOR BOTTLED
WATER AS THE GIFFORD WATER IS NOT ONLY UNFIT TO DRINK, BUT DETIORIATES
THE FIXTURES. HE ASKED THE BOARD WHERE THEY WERE GOING TO OBTAIN THE
ADDITIONAL FUNDING NEEDED TO CARRY OUT THE PROJECT TO SUPPLY WATER TO
GIFFORD,
CHAIRMAN 14ODTKE ASSURED MR. HOLT THAT WHILE WE CANNOT AT THIS,
MOMENT PINPOINT WHERE THE MONEY WILL COME FROM TO CARRY OUT THE PROJECT
TO DELIVER WATER TO GIFFORD, THE COMMITMENT HAS BEEN MADE, THE PROJECT
HAS BEEN ENGINEERED, AND THE RIGHT-OF-WAY IS THERE.

SERVE AT LEAST 1,000 TO 1,200 HOMES,
COMMISSIONER SIEBERT FELT IT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE AT THIS TIME
TO GO OVER WHAT WE ANTICIPATE OUR LONG TERM GOALS ARE GOING TO BE, AND
COMMISSIONER LOY AGREED WE HAVE PROBLEMS TO SOLVE FIRST AS WE DON`T
OWN THE SYSTEM, BUT WE CAN AT LEAST INDICATE THE DIRECTION WE PLAN TO
FOLLOW.
COMMISSIONER SCHMUCKER WENT OVER THE BACKGROUND OF HOW THE
BOARD HAS BEEN TRYING TO SOLVE THE GIFFORD WATER PROBLEM, MENTIONING
THE CONTRACT APPROVED IN DECEMBER OF 1975 BETWEEN FNA, U.D.U., AND THE
COUNTY AND THE APPLICATIONS FOR THE EDA GRANT. HE NOTED THAT WHEN WE
DO SUCCEED IN GETTING THE WATER UP TO GIFFORD.. WE ARE STILL STUCK WITH
A DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM THAT IS NOT WORKING.
MABON SNELL OF THE GIFFORD .JAYCEES POINTED OUT THAT THE CON-
TRACT THE BOARD HAS BEEN TALKING ABOUT HAS FAILED AND HE FELT THE COUNTY
MUST HAVE SOME POWER TO REVOKE OR DO SOMETHING ABOUT AN AGREEMENT THAT
HAS NEVER WORKED. HE STATED THAT IT IS A BAD FEELING TO BE TREATED AS
IF THEY ARE THE "BASTARD" PART OF THE COUNTY AND TO SEE LINES GOING IN
ALL OVER THE COUNTY WHERE THERE IS NO DEVELOPMENT AT THIS TIME. NE NOTED
THAT NOTHING IS MORE NECESSARY THAN WATER, AND LACK OF WATER PREVENTS
THEIR DEVELOPMENT. HE ALSO POINTED OUT THE U.D.U. ONLY SERVES 1/2 OF
THEIR AREA,
.TAMES RICHARDSON, OF THE N.A.A.C,P., STATED THAT HE COULD CON-
FIRM THAT THEY TRIED TO GET WATER FOR THE WHOLE AREA A LONG TIME BEFORE

SIEBERT POINTED OUT THAT THE RESOLUTION PROVIDES FOR NOT ONLY U.D.U.
CUSTOMERS BUT "FUTURE' CUSTOMERS.
REVEREND DIAMOND OF THE AFRO-AMERICAN COUNCIL OF CHURCHES
REGISTERED THEIR CONCERN, STATING THAT THIS DOCUMENT IS NOT A GOOD DOCU-
MENT BECAUSE IT IS CONDITIONAL AND IT STILL LEAVES IT UP TO U.D.U. AND
FHA. HE PLEADED THAT THE BOARD NOT TIE UP THEIR EFFORTS IN THIS DIRECTION'
WITH ANYBODY, STATING THAT WATER IS THE NUMBER ONE ESSENTIAL. REVEREND
DIAMOND CONTINUED THAT WHAT THE COMMUNITY IS TRYING TO SAY IS THAT, "WE
NEED RECREATION, WE NEED LIGHTS, WE NEED MANY THINGS, BUT MOST OF ALL,
WE NEED WATER."
CHAIRMAN VIODTKE INFORMED THOSE PRESENT THAT WE MUST TAKE ACTION
ON THPS RESOLUTION AS WE MUST DEAL WITH.FIRST THINGS FIRST AND CET U.T},1!.
AND FHA OUT OF THE PICTURE. FROM A LEGAL STANDPOINT, WE MUST DEAL WITH
THINGS IN A SEQUENTIAL ORDER,
REVEREND DIAMOND NOTED THAT THE SITUATION COULD DRAG ON ANOTHER
YEAR -OR TWO AFTER THE RESOLUTION WAS VOTED ON JUST WAITING ON FHA AND
M.U.
COMMISSIONER SIEBERT POINTED OUT THAT WE ARE JUST ASKING THEM
IF THEY WILL UP -GRADE THE SYSTEM AND TURN IT OVER TO THE COUNTY DEBT -FREE
BUT IF THEY WON'T, IT DOESN'T -MEAN THAT WE ARE NOT GOINi; TO DO ANYTHING
ELSE.
COMMISSIONER LOY NOTED THAT THIS DOCUMENT SAYS THAT WE ARE
COMMITTING OURSELVES TO GETTING THIS WATER SITUATION STRAIGHTENED OUT,
BUT WE ALSO NEED THE AUTHORITY TO NEGOTIATE. WE ARE MERELY PUTTING THEM
ON NOTICE THAT AS OF THIS DAY FORWARD, THIS SITUATION IS GOING TO BE
STRAIGHTENED OUT.
COMMISSIONER SIEBERT POINTED OUT THAT THE LINE THAT IS TO BE
BUILT TO GIFFORD HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH U.D.U. OR FHA AND WILL BE BUILT
AS SOON AS THE GRANT IS RECEIVED.
REVEREND DIAMOND STATED THAT HE IS VERY CONCERNED ABOUT A
TIME TABLE AND WISHED TO BE SURE THAT THE COUNTY HAS SOURCES FOR THE

ADVERSE TO LANDSCAPING PROVIDED IT IS DONE IN THE PROPER WAY AND CHECKED
WITH THE PROPER DEPARTMENTS; IF IT CAN BE SHOWN THAT THE COUNTY WILL NOT
ASSUME THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE MAINTENANCE; AND IF IT WILL NOT INTER-
FERE WITH ANY POTENTIAL ROAD OR UTILITIES PROGRAM,

ARBITRAGE CERTIFICATE
The undersigned Chairman of the Board of County Commis-
sioners of Indian River County, Florida, hereby certifies that
none of the proceeds of sale of the $300,000 Revenue and General
Obligation Note of the County dated August 10, 1977 will be invested
in acquired obligations at a yield which is greater than the yield
on the Note.
On the basis of the foregoing, it is not expected that
the proceeds of the Note will be used in a manner that would cause
the Note to be an "arbitrage bond" under Section 103(c) of the
Internal Revenue Code and the regulations prescribed under that
Section. To the best of my knowledge and belief, there are no
other facts, estimates or circumstances that would materially
change the foregoing conclusion.

' OF COUNSEL
Chairman and Clerk
Board of County Commissioners
Indian River County, Florida
Dear Sir and Madam:
As Bond Counsel to Indian River County, Florida, we
have examined certified copies of the proceedings and other
documents of the Board of County Commissioners of Indian River
County, Florida (hereinafter called "County") relating to the
issuance and sale of a
$300,000
INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA
REVENUE AND GENERAL OBLIGATION NOTE
Dated August 10, 1977
Said Note is a bearer Note, numbered 3, reg-
istrable as to principal and interest, bear-
ing interest, payable at maturity, at the
rate of four and sixty-five hundredths per
centum (4.65%) per annum, and maturing on
May 1, 1978.
Part of an authorized issue of Notes in the
aggregate principal amount of not exceeding
$1,350,000 of which $800,000 principal amount
has heretofore been issued.
Said Note is redeemable prior to maturity in the manner
provided in said Note. We have examined said Note as executed.
` a The Note is issued pursuant to the Constitution and
Statutes of the State of Florida, particularly Section 125.01,
Florida Statutes, Chapter 159, Part I, Florida Statutes, and
other applicable provisions of law, and a resolution of the
County duly adopted on May 4, 1977, as amended by a resolution
adopted on August 10, 1977, to advance the cost of solid waste
disposal system improvements (the "project").
In our opinion, said Note is a valid and legally binding
general obligation of the County, payable from the revenues derived
by the County from the operation of the project and, to the extent
said revenues are insufficient therefor, the County is authorized
and required by law to levy on all real property taxable by the
County for the fiscal year 1977-78 such ad valorem taxes, at an
Annual rate not to exceed ten (10) mills on the dollar of assessed
value, as may be necessary to pay said Note and the interest thereon.
We are further of the opinion that the interest on said
Note is exempt from Federal income taxes under existing statutes
and court decisions.

` Answer these questions for each program. (Attach

6. Explain why this program is needed.
This program is needed for over 65% of all children in grades 1-12 are
unable to swim. Because of the accessibility of numerous lakes, ponds,
canals and of course the ocean, the risk of accidental drowning in. -this
county is inordinately high.
Of those who can not swim nearly 80% are black and arc not able to re-
ceive private instruction because of lack of funds and transportation.
The latter is exceptionally problematical to most.
7. Describe the financial status of persons to be served by this
program. How many persons will be served? Duplicated? n.
Unduplicated? lggn
Past experience has shown that approximately 50% of the children served
come from families with an income range of from $7,000 to $9,000 annually.
30% come from families with an income below $4,000 annually. 15% come from
families with -income from $4,000 to $7,000 and 5% come from families with
an income in excess of $9,000 annually.
From Oct. 1, 1977 to Sept. 30, 1978 nearly 2,000 children will be taught to
swim.
1•
S. How will this program be integrated with other programs serving
the same type of persons? What other social service.agencies will
be contacted?
this program goes hand in hand with other programs serving the -youth of
this county. For example', it augments the E.O.C. after school day care
_ program. It serves the same children who are involved with the YMCA's
recreational programs in low income areas. It serves the same children
involved with Special Olympics and it involves the many children who fall
into the categories of Trainable retarded and Educatable retarded.
9. Explain how recipients of public assistance will benefit from
this program.
- Recipients of public assistance will benefit from this program for it
gives them the opportunity to learn to swim at no cost to them. In
many cases this is the only opportunity they will receive to get this
kind of training.
Also, the instructors in this program have all qualified for public
assistance in the past.

1. Program Titles_County Wide Learn to Swim
2. Program 0bjectivies
The objective of this program is to teach all
children in grades 1-12 who presently can not
swim 20 yards to do so.
• In surveying school age children in this county,
it was determined that the number of non -swimmers
exceeds 65% of the school population. Of this
65% nearly 80% of these are black.
It is our hope that by Sept. 30, 1978 that all.
children who are currently enrolled in the county
schools, both public and private, will have
learned to swim, thus reducing one of the greatest
dangers in this water filled county - accidental
R drowning caused by one's inability to swim.
•Last spring through similar funding we initiated
-this program and achieved great success teaching
G� 347 children how to swim.

3. Major Activities and Substeps
On a school by school basis non swimming child-
ren are bussed to the YMCA at the end of each
school day. They are divided into three groups
of approximately 50 in each group. While one
group receives 1 hour of instruction in the pool
the other 2 groups are involved in supervised
athletic activities. At -the end of each hour
groups are rotated. After each group has receive
its.one hour of instruction, the children are
then transported home by parents, car pools, or
in the case of some who lack transportation, by
the YMCA staff.
Most children succeed in passing the 20 yard
test after 10, 1 hour lessons. Those who do not
remain for as many days as is necessary. Depend-
ing on school size it takes from 3 to 6 weeks
to finish a school.
Last spring 98% of all non -swimmers took advan-
tage of this program.

BE RELEASED,
DISCUSSION FOLLOWED ABOUT DISCLAIMING THIS STREET, AND
` THE AADMINISTRATOR POINTED OUT -THAT THE LETTER STATES THE PROPERTY OWNERS
WILL PAVE IT AND TAKE CARE OF IT, AND HE FELT WE SHOULD RELEASE IT TO
THEM. AS IT DOES NOT MEET COUNTY SPECIFICATIONS AND WAS NEVER ACCEPTED
BY THE COUNTY, ALTHOUGH IT IS MARKED ON THE TAX ASSESSOR'S MAPS AS A
PUBLIC ROAD,
ATTORNEY COLLINS STATED HE WOULD BE HESITANT TO ABANDON THE
ROAD BECAUSE EACH PROPERTY OWNER WOULD THEN OWN HIS INDIVIDUAL SHARE
OUT TO THE CENTER LINE, WHICH HE FELT COULD CAUSE PROBLEMS, HE SAID
HE WOULD NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH A QUIT CLAIM FROM THE COUNTY GIVING
AN UNDIVIDED INTEREST IN THE ENTIRE STRIP BACK TO ALL OF THE PROPERTY
OWNERSi AND THEN LET THEM ALL DECIDE WHAT TO DO WITH IT,

ADMINISTRATOR JENNINGS DISCUSSED HOLDING A PUBLIC HEARING ON A
CHANGE OF FRANCHISE OWNERSHIP AT HOLIDAY VILLAGE MOBILE PARK. THE FRAN-
CHISE OWNERS WISH TO CHANGE OWNERSHIP TO THE PRESENT HOMEOWNERS IN THE
PARK, HE DID NOT FEEL THIS WOULD BE A CONTROVERSIAL MATTER, AND THE POARD
AGREED IT COULD BE HANDLED AT A REGULAR MEETING.
ADMINISTRATOR .JENNINGS NEXT INFORMED THE BOARD THAT GENERAL
DEVELOPMENT COMPANY WISHES TO AMEND THEIR FRANCHISE BY CHANGING THE FORMULr
FOR SETTING CONNECTION CHARGES, HE FELT THIS ALSO WOULD BE A FAIRLY ROU-
TINE MATTER AS THE CHANGE DOES NOT AFFECT EXISTING CUSTOMERS, ONLY PRESENT
LOT OWNERS,
AFTER SOME DISCUSSION, THE BOARD AGREED TO SCHEDULE BOTH PUBLIC
HEARINGS FOR THE REGULAR MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 21ST,
ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER SCHMUCKER, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER
SIEBERT, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED RETROACTIVE OUT -OF -COUNTY TRAVEL

FLINT TO MEET WITH THE DOT IN FORT LAUDERDALE ON AUGUST 9, 1977.
COMMISSIONER SCHMUCKER READ TO THE BOARD AN ARTICLE FROM THE
STATE & COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR, ,JULY., 1977, ABOUT THE ADVANTAGES OF A COM-
PUTER SERVICE AS OPPOSTED TO AN IN-HOUSE PROGRAM, THE ARTICLE SET FORTH
SOME OF THE DISADVANTAGES OF THE IN-HOUSE SYSTEM AS FOLLOWS;
" • High turnover in programming,
analysis, and/or software
management positions.
• A large number of programmers
or analysts with less than three years`
experience implementing govern-
ment applications.
• Computing personnel with little
experience in government ap-
plications, unable to communicate
effectively with users, and oriented
mainly to computing technology
rather than solving the problems of
government.
• Non-existent or inappropriate
standards Ind procedures for
training, documentation, and
programming.
• Inability to meet implementation
budgets or schedules.
• Little or no new systems devel-
opment; programmers/analysts
concentrated in maintenance and
operations.
• Software support overly con-
centrated on the needs of a few
users; no master planning or
priority setting mechanism.

COMMISSIONER SIEBERT REPORTED ON MEETING WITH MAYOR NOLAN OF
THE TOWN OF INDIAN RIVER SHORES. HE NOTED THAT THE MAYOR AGAIN INFORMED
HIM THAT HE DOESN'T LIKE THE CURRENT AGREEMENT THE TOWN HAS WITH THE COUNTY
IN REGARD TO FIRE PROTECTION AND STATED HIS COUNCIL DOES NOT AGREE WITH IT
EITHER.
CHAIRMAN WODTKE NOTED THAT THE TOWN OF INDIAN RIVER SHORES WAS
PREVIOUSLY GOING TO COME BACK TO THE BOARD TO OFFER SOME SOLUTION TO THEIR
PROBLEM.
COMMISSIONER SIEBERT STATED THAT MAYOR NOLAN SAID IF THE COUNTY
IS UNWILLING TO CHANGE THE EXISTING AGREEMENT, HE WOULD LIKE TO SEE THEM
AT LEAST SET A TIME WHEN THEY WOULD TAKE OVER THE INDIAN RIVER SHORES FIRE
DEPARTMENT AS HE FELT IT WAS MORALLY WRONG TO OBLIGATE A MUNICIPALITY FOR
AN UNKNOWN NUMBER OF YEARS TO PROVIDE THIS SERVICE. COMMISSIONER SIEBERT
STATED THAT HE POINTED OUT TO THE MAYOR THAT THE AGREEMENT WITH THE COUNTY
WAS SIGNED WITH THE CONCURRENCE OF THE TOWN COUNCIL OF INDIAN RIVER SHORES
SERVING AT THAT TIME, AND HE DOUBTED IF THE COUNTY COULD SET A SPECIFIC
DATE FOR TAKING OVER THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. HE CONTINUED THAT MAYOR NOLAN
ALSO SUGGESTED THAT WE CUT THE BUDGET OF THE VERO BEACH FIRE DEPARTMENT
BY $100,000 AND GIVE IT TO THEM AS THEIR EQUIPMENT IS SUPERIOR. COMMIS-
SIONER SIEBERT REPORTED THAT MAYOR NOLAN FURTHER STATED THAT THEY DO NOT
NEED THEIR ROAD MONEY AND ASKED IF THIS MONEY COULD BE GIVEN BACK TO THE
COUNTY IN RETURN FOR A CONTRIBUTION TO THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
THE BOARD DISCUSSED THE POSSIBILITY OF WORKING SOMETHING OUT
WITH RESPECT TO THE ROAD MONEY,, AND COMMISSIONER Loy STATED SHE WOULD LIKE
TO HAVE SOMETHING IN WRITING SO WE COULD BE ASSURED THAT THE MAJORITY OF
THE TOWN COUNCIL SUPPORTED THIS IDEA.
