In reviewing our factory order and job order, it appears that you were shipped ten used machines, by mistake, instead of ten reconditioned machines. Needless to say, we are embarrassed by the situation and I can assure you it was an unintentional error. I wish to inform you that even though you have a five year warranty on these machines, regardless, we will upgrade these machines for you at no additional cost on your premises in your Vero Beach location. We will ac- conplish this as follows: .1. Replace motor unit with new motors, switches and gear boxes. 2. Replace all voter switches as required. 3. Replace all curtain cables as required. 4. Touch up paint on all cabinets as required. 5.1 Remove and clean all curtains as required. If it is agreeable to you, we would like to do this work during the week of -April 17th. The work will be finished no later than April 25th. Supervising the entire program will be Pat Ricci, our National Service Manager. Again, I apologize for this error on our part and if you will notify me as soon as possible as to the acceptability of the week.of April 17th for this work, I will'send out the necessary parts to arrive prior to our technicians.

The following comments are offered for your consideration and review. The Department of Transportation proposes to replace Bridges No. 11 & 12 at SR 60 across a segment of the St. Johns River Upper Basin. Bridge replacement includes: 1) lengthening Bridge No. 11 from 60.58 feet to 97 feet; 2) lengthening Bridge No. 12 from 61.44 feet to 97 feet; 3) dredging the channel beneath each bridge to a 16 foot elevation; 4) widening the road and shoulders by relocating existing parallel roadside ditches; and 5) constructing a detour road on the north side of SR 60. The detour roads for Bridges No. 11 and 12 are to be 2000feet long by 70 feet wide (13,000 cubic yards) and 1,600 feet long by 70 feet wide (14,490 cubic yards), respectively. Detour roads will be removed after completion of the new bridges. This section of the St. Johns River consists of vast marshes and swamps, some of which have been impounded for agricultural purposes. The segment of SR 60 that crosses the 7 miles of remaining wetlands is a two-lane road with 8 bridges (each averages 60 feet in length). Parallel roadside borrow ditches run the entire length of SR 60 across these wetlands. The northern ditch is bordered to the north by a berm of approximately the same elevation as the existing roadway. Bridges No. 11 & 12, approximately 2,000 feet apart, are located in the middle of the SR 60 crossing of the St. Johns River wetland. Banks of the roadside ditches are vegetated by willow, wax myrtle, palm, maple, and elderberry. Water hyacinth, sedges (Cyperus sp.), saw - grass, cattail, spadderdock, and pennywort are found in the water. Amphipods, grass shrimp, golden top minnow, gobies, least killifish and various centrarchid fish were collected from the ditches. Louisiana heron, little blue heron, green heron, king rail, Carolina wren, catbird, brown thrasher, yellow-rumped warbler, yellow throat, marsh rabbit and river otter were observed along the ditches. Relatively undisturbed marsh/swamp occurs north and south of SR 60. These natural areas are vegetated primarily by willow and sawgrass. Dikes and berms are vegetated by various ruderal species as well as wax myrtle, maple, elderberry and willow. The replacement of these bridges is part of an overall plan that - includes widening all of SR 60 that crosses the St. Johns River wetland. These two bridge replacements with their detour roads are .not expected to have a long term significant adverse impact on the aquatic biological resources. However, it is recommended that the berm on the north side of the north ditch be removed. Past recommendations of Fish and Wildlife Service representatives.were for approval of this permit subject to a stipulation• requiring that the detour road be removed to, or slightly lower than, the natural marsh elevation. Accordingly, the Department of Environmental Regulation recommends approval of this project as proposed conditioned by restoring natural elevations to the north of the project area and revegetating all disturbed areas with native plant species. Pursuant to subsection 253.124(3), Florida Statutes, the preceding comments are to be read into the minutes of a Commission meeting at which approval or disapproval of this project is to be determined. Please notify this agency of the Commission's decision by letter which includes a copy of the minutes.of that meeting. WDM/nb Sincerely, BOOK. 34 PAGE D3 v W.

AFTER DETERMINING THE BEST SITE, THERE IS THE OPTION OF INSTALLING EITHER A TEST WELL OR A TEST PRODUCTION WELL. MR.

AMY µ THEN EXPLAINED IN DETAIL THE PROCEDURE TO BE USED IN SETTING UP TEST WELLS AND DETERMINING THE TOTAL YIELD OF A WELLFIELD. CHAIRMAN WODTKE ASKED IF HE WOULD BE ABLE TO GIVE THE BOARD AN ESTIMATE OF THE AMOUNT OF WATER IN THE HOBART PARK AREA, AND MR. AMY STATED THAT HE WOULD AND ALSO HOW MUCH CAN BE SAFELY EXTRACTED.

ATTORNEY COLLINS INFORMED THE BOARD THAT IN THIS PROPOSED AMENDMENT THERE ARE BASICALLY TWO MAJOR CHANGES, HE NOTED THAT HE HAS BEEN CONCERNED WITH AN INCONSISTENCY BETWEEN COUNTY PROCEDURES AND STATE STATUTES. THE DIFFERENCE IS THAT THE STATE REQUIRES NOTICE TO BE SENT DIRECTLY TO THE PROPERTY OWNER ONLY, AND THE COUNTY HAS REQUIRED NOTICE TO BE SENT TO ADJOINING PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN 300' AS WELL, THE ADDITIONAL W 1. r APR 5 1978 M . a WORDING INSERTED IS JUST FOR CLARIFICATION. ATTORNEY COLLINS NOTED THAT PRIOR EXPERIENCE HAS SHOWN THAT INDIVIDUALS DON `T INITIATE A MASS BASIS REZONING, AND ARE NORMALLY TALKING ABOUT ONE OR TWO PARCELS, BUT IF THE COUNTY IS GOING TO REZONE, IT USUALLY INVOLVES A LARGE AMOUNT OF PROPERTY, WHEN REZONING ON A MASS LEVEL, IT POSES A TREMENDOUS BURDEN ON THE ZONING DEPARTMENT AND THE - ADMINISTRATOR TO COMPLY WITH MAILING NOTICES TO EVERYONE WITHIN 300'. THE ATTORNEY STATED THAT HE HAS, THEREFORE, WORDED THE ORDINANCE TO REQUIRE THE ZONING DEPARTMENT AND THE ADMINISTRATOR TO SEND NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN 300' ON ZONING CHANGE REQUESTS THAT INCLUDE IO PARCELS OR LESS. ON A LARGER NUMBER THE COUNTY MAY JUST ADVERTISE WITHOUT SENDING INDIVIDUAL NOTICES, EXCEPT TO THE PROPERTY OWNERS DIRECTLY AFFECTED. COMMISSIONER SCHMUCKER FELT THE WORDING SHOULD EXPLICITLY STATE THAT WHEN MORE THAN 10 LOTS ARE INVOLVED, NOTICE WILL BE DONE BY ADVERTISING,.BUT THE ACTUAL PROPERTY OWNERS WILL BE NOTIFIED. ATTORNEY COLLINS POINTED OUT THAT THIS IS REQUIRED BY STATE STATUTE, AND HE FELT SUCH WORDING WOULD BE SUPERFLUOUS. COMMISSIONER Loy POINTED OUT THAT OUR REGULATIONS ACTUALLY REQUIRE MORE THAN REQUIRED BY STATE STATUTE. DISCUSSION CONTINUED IN REGARD TO MAKING THE ORDINANCE MORE FLEXIBLE. ZONING DIRECTOR, DEWEY IIIALKER, STATED THAT IN HIS OPINION THE FEE PAID FOR A PUBLIC HEARING SHOULD NOT BE RETURNED WHEN AN APPEAL IS DENIED. HE NOTED THE ADVERTISEMENTS MUST BE PAID FOR, PLUS RESEARCH DONE BY THE STAFF AND SECRETARIAL WORK. HE NOTED THAT IF THE REQUEST IS DENIED ON THE TENTATIVE BASIS AND DOESN'T GO TO PUBLIC HEARING, THEY DO REFUND THE MONEY, BUT AFTER A HEARING YOU DO NOT GET THE MONEY BACK.

COMMISSIONER SIEBERT DISCUSSED THE POSSIBILITY OF SOME INDIVIDUALS NOT BEING ABLE TO AFFORD A SURVEY. MR. BERG AGREED THIS POSSIBILITY COULD ARISE, BUT POINTED OUT THAT THE SURVEY IS IMPORTANT TO THE OWNER HIMSELF AND HE MAY NEED IT LATER FOR HIS OWN PROTECTION. COMMISSIONER LAY POINTED OUT THAT BY REQUIRING SUCH SURVEYS WE WOULD ELIMINATE THE PROBLEM OF PEOPLE BUILDING OVER EASEMENTS, COMMISSIONER SCHMUCKER STATED THAT SURVEYS OF INDIVIDUAL LOTS ARE NOT TERRIBLY EXPENSIVE, AND ATTORNEY COLLINS POINTED OUT THAT THE COUNTY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR REZONING THE CORRECT PROPERTY. ATTORNEY COLLINS CONTINUED THAT IN THE PAST THE BOARD HAS HAD APPLICATIONS FROM SUPPOSEDLY "AUTHORIZED It REPRESENTATIVES AND NEVER REALLY KNOWN WHO ACTUALLY OWNED THE PROPERTY OR HOW TITLE WAS HELD. THE SUGGESTED REQUIREMENTS WOULD ELIMINATE THIS PROBLEM. THE BOARD DISCUSSED THE NEED FOR A TITLE POLICY AS WELL AS A SURVEY, AND THE ATTORNEY POINTED OUT THAT A SURVEY DOES NOT REFLECT OWNERSHIP AND HE FELT THESE ARE TWO DISTINCT REQUIREMENTS. DISCUSSION ENSUED ON PROPER DESIGNATION OF AN AGENT, AND MR. BERG FELT AN. AUTHORIZED AGENT MUST HAVE A NOTARIZED LETTER FROM THE OWNER. HE STATED THAT THOUGH THE ORDINANCE DOES NOT REQUIRE THIS, THEY HAVE BEEN REQUIRING IT BY POLICY. THE BOARD AGREED THIS WAS AN IMPORTANT REQUIREMENT.

HE CONTINUED THAT HOUSING ASSISTANCE HAS NO FINANCIAL HISTORY, BUT CONDO PROPERTIES MANAGE OVER 4,700 UNITS AND NATIONAL HOUSING PARTNERSHIPS OF VIASHINGTON, D.C., MANAGE OVER 45,000 UNITS SO THEY OBVIOUSLY HAVE A CERTAIN EXPERTISE. HE NOTED THAT THEY HAD TO SUBMIT AN OPERATING BUDGET TO FHA IN ORDER TO RECEIVE A COMMITMENT FROM THEM. COMMISSIONER SIEBERT FELT WE MUST BE -ASSURED THAT THE APPLICANT IS SOLVENT AND ABLE TO CARRY OUT THIS VENTURE. COMMISSIONER Loy STATED SHE REALIZED THEY WISHED TO GET SOMETHING MOVING, BUT NOTED ONCE THEY OBTAIN THE PROPER FINANCIAL INFORMATION FOR THE BOARD TO REVIEW, IT DOESN'T TAKE MUCH TIME TO READVERTISE.

HE NOTED THAT WHAT THEY ARE PROPOSING IS A COMPREHENSIVE -DRUG TREATMENT PROGRAM WHICH WOULD TAKE ABOUT THREE YEARS TO PUT INTO EFFECT, THE STATE WISHES THEM TO START OFF INITIALLY WITH A RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT PROGRAM, WHICH WOULD COST ABOUT $125,000 OF WHICH INDIAN RIVER COUNTY'S MATCH WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY $8,000. THE SECOND PHASE WOULD BE TO PROVIDE OUT—PATIENT AND DETOX SERVICES, FOLLOW—UP AND PREVENTIVE EDUCA— TION, WHICH WOULD COST ANOTHER $160,000, OF WHICH INDIAN RIVER COUNTY'S SHARE WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY $10,000, AND THE THIRD PHASE WOULD BE AN EVALUATION COMPONENT FOR ABOUT $12,000 OF WHICH THE COUNTY'S SHARE WOULD BE $750, OR A TOTAL OF APPROXIMATELY $19,000 OVER A THREE—YEAR PERIOD. HE INFORMED THE BOARD THAT THE STATE HAS IDENTIFIED THIS AREA AS HAVING A SEVERE HEROIN AND OPIATE ABUSE PROBLEM, HE NOTED THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND REHABILITATIVE SERVICES DID THIS SURVEY, AND IT WAS FELT THIS IS DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF DRUGS THAT COME INTO ST. LUCIE COUNTY AND ARE DISTRIBUTED FROM THERE. GARDNER MORGAN, INDIAN RIVER COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTH CENTER SUBSTANCE ABUSE. DIRECTOR, FELT THE SURVEY ACTUALLY IS SAYING THAT THIS IS THE WORST AREA LEFT IN THE STATE THAT HAS NO DRUG TREATMENT FACILITIES. MR. ASHCRAFT THEN EXPLAINED IN DETAIL HOW THE PROGRAM WOULD BE SET UP AND WHAT WOULD BE REQUIRED. COMMISSIONER SIEBERT STATED THAT HE PERSONALLY DOESN'T THINK IT IS A GOOD USE OF THE TAXPAYER'S MONEY TO TRY TO REHABILITATE SOCIAL AND MORAL DEGENERATES, AND HE WOULD RATHER SEE EVERY PENNY SPENT TO KEEP THE DRUGS OUT. MR. MORGAN POINTED OUT THAT AN OPIATE ADDICT HAS A DIFFERENT SET OF VALUES ENTIRELY, AND THEIR AIM IS TO PREVENT PEOPLE FROM GETTING, INTO THIS SITUATION BECAUSE ONCE THEY DO BECOME ADDICTED, THE CHANCES OF REHABILITATING THEM SUCCESSFULLY ARE VERY POOR, HE FELT AN OUT— PATIENT PROGRAM WOULD HELP PREVENT PEOPLE FROM GETTING INTO THESE CIRCUMSTANCES. ` 52 Bou 34 FAGF'213 a 0 9 MR. ASHCRAFT INFORMED THE BOARD THAT THERE IS NOWHERE AT ALL IN THIS AREA TO DETOX A DRUG ADDICT, AND THEY ARE CAUGHT IN A BIND BE- CAUSE THE STATE FEELS VERY STRONGLY THAT THEY SHOULD START WITH A RESIDENTIAL PROGRAM. THEY, HOWEVER, WOULD RATHER NOT PUT THE MONEY IN THE HARD CORE ADDICTS, BUT WOULD PREFER TO START WITH AN OUT-PATIENT PROGRAM. COMMISSIONER SCHMUCKER ASKED IF THERE HAS BEEN ANY REACTION FROM THE OTHER THREE COUNTIES IN THIS AREA, AND MR. ASHCRAFT STATED THAT INDIAN RIVER COUNTY IS THE FIRST ONE THEY HAVE APPROACHED, HE POINTED OUT THAT THE $8,000 MATCH WOULD GIVE THEM ACCESS TO $100,000. CHAIRMAN WODTKE STATED THAT HE ALSO WOULD. PREFER :TO SEE MOST OF THE MONEY USED FOR PREVENTIVE EDUCATION OF OUR YOUTH RATHER THAN PUT INTO THE HARD CORE ADDICT. MR. ASHCRAFT COMMENTED THAT IF THE COUNTIES ALL TELL THEM THAT THEY DON T CARE TO SEE A RESIDENTIAL PROGRAM INITIALLY, HE BELIEVES THAT WOULD BE A MESSAGE TO THE STATE. MR. ASHCRAFT ASKED IF THE COUNTY WOULD BE WILLING TO PUT MONEY INTO AN OUT-PATIENT PROGRAM, CHAIRMAN WODTKE STATED THAT WE COULD NOT MAKE A COMMITMENT NOW, BUT HE FELT WE WOULD BE RECEPTIVE TO WORKING IT IN THE BUDGET WHEN WE SEE OUR TOTAL PICTURE. COMMISSIONER SIEBERT STATED HE WOULD BE RECEPTIVE TO A PRE- VENTION PROGRAM PROVIDED THE MONEY IS THERE, BUT WOULD TURN THUMBS DOWN ON A RESIDENTIAL PROGRAM, HE ALSO NOTED THAT THE CENTER SPOT OF THE PROBLEM MOST PROBABLY LIES WITHIN ST. LUCIE COUNTY, AND IF THEY ARE NOT GOING TO PARTICIPATE, HE CERTAINLY WOULD NOT WANT TO EITHER. JOHN ASHCRAFT SAID THAT, IN OTHER WORDS, THE BOARD APPARENTLY WOULD CHOOSE THE EARLY INTERVENTION FOCUS, AND THE BOARD AGREED. CHAIRMAN WODTKE INFORMED THE BOARD THAT MERCHON ROGEL, EXECU- TIVE DIRECTOR OF THE UNITED WAY, AND RITA SAUERMAN, YOUTH GUIDANCE VOLUNTEER COORDINATOR, HAVE A PROJECT THEY WISH TO DISCUSS WITH THE BOARD. MERCHON ROGEL EXPLAINED THAT THEY ARE HOPING TO DRAW A LOT OF ATTENTION TO THE SERVICES THE VOLUNTEERS PROVIDE IN INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, AND SHE ANTICIPATES THAT WHEN THEY TOTAL THE DOLLARS BASED ON THE 53 A c� a BOOK 3FAGS S R s 'ql NUMBER OF HOURS CONTRIBUTED BY VOLUNTEERS IN 1977, IT WILL BE AN AWESOME FIGURE. SHE NOTED THAT THEY ARE LOOKING TO SET A WORLD RECORD.

THE ONLY OTHER STRUCTURES OF ANY CONSEQUENCE INVOLVED ARE THE WAREHOUSE ON 19TH AVENUE AND ONE OF THE MODULAR .UNITS NOW LOCATED ON HOSPITAL GROUNDS. THERE IS ALSO A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF EQUIPMENT AND FURNITURE THAT THE HOSPITAL WILL LEAVE, AND THEY ARE IN THE PROCESS OF PREPARING AN INVEN- TORY OF ITEMS WHICH THEY FEEL THE COUNTY WOULD NOT BE INTERESTED IN AND WHICH COULD BE UTILIZED IN THE HEALTH FIELD AREA. THIS LIST WILL BE PRESENTED TO A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE BOARD TO REVIEW. CHAIRMAN VIODTKE STATED THAT THE PROPOSITION AT THIS TIME IS THAT THE BOND ISSUE DATED FEBRUARY, 1959, ON WHICH THERE IS A $275,000 BALANCE, WOULD BE TRANSFERRED TO THE COUNTY WITH THE COUNTY HAVING TKE -' AUTHORITY TO ASSESS THE MILLAGE FOR THE NEXT FIVE TO SIX YEARS TO.PAY OFF THE REMAINDER OF THE BOND ISSUE. THE CHAIRMAN NOTED THAT THERE IS A SINKING FUND OF $54,000, PLUS A $6,000 INTEREST ACCOUNT, WHICH HE FEELS SHOULD BE TRANSFERRED TO THE COUNTY WITH THE BOND OBLIGATION. THEREFORE, THE ORIGINAL RECOMMENDATION OF $250,000 TO REIMBURSE THE HOSPITAL DISTRICT FOR THE ADDITIONAL LAND THEY PURCHASED, THE WAREHOUSE, ETC., HAS NOW BEEN UPPED TO $290,000. HE CONTINUED THAT THE HOSPITAL BOARD WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO TRANSFER THE HOSPITAL AS SOON AS THEY ARE ABLE TO MOVE INTO THEIR NEW FACILITY SO THAT THEY DON IT.HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ADDITIONAL SECURITY FORCES TO MAINTAIN IT, AND UTILITIES, ETC. 1. 56 u R 51978 - BOOK 34 •pmF 235 COMMISSIONER LOY NOTED THAT, IN OTHER WORDS, THE BOTTOM LINE IS THE $275,000 BOND ISSUE, PLUS $290,000, MINUS $60,000. !

SORENSEN, CHAIRMAN OF THE HOSPITAL BOARD OF TRUSTEES, WILL.RECOMMEND THAT FIGURE TO THE HOSPITAL BOARD, THE CHAIRMAN STATED THAT HE WOULD LIKE THE BOARD'S REACTION TO THIS PROPOSAL, AND IF IT IS SATISFACTORY, WOULD LIKE AUTHORIZATION FOR THE ATTORNEY TO GET WITH THE HOSPITAL TRUSTEES' ATTORNEY AND DRAW UP A PROPOSED CONTRACT, AT WHICH TIME HE FELT IT WOULD BE NECESSARY FOR THE BOARD TO HAVE A JOINT MEETING WITH THE HOSPITAL BOARD. COMMISSIONER. SIEBERT ASKED IF ANY WORK HAS BEEN DONE IN CONSIDERATION OF WHAT COUNTY FUNCTIONS WOULD BE LOCATED THERE. CHAIRMAN WODTKE STATED THAT HE HAS READ STUDIES WITH COST ESTIMATES FOR REMODELING AND HAS HAD A GOOD DEAL OF INTEREST FROM VARIOUS GOVERNMENTAL BODIES IN THE COUNTY IN THIS REGARD, BUT FELT THIS WOULD REQUIRE A GOOD DEAL MORE STUDY AND A PROFESSIONAL APPROACH. -COMMISSIONER SIEBERT NOTED THAT ORDINARILY IF WE WERE PURCHASING FROM SOMEONE ELSE, HE WOULD FEEL WE NEEDED TO DO A LOT MORE RESEARCH, BUT IN THIS CASE, IT IS THE TAXPAYER'S HOSPITAL ANYWAY. CHAIRMAN WODTKE POINTED OUT THAT WE ARE CONSTANTLY IN THE POSITION OF HAVING TO LEASE OUTSIDE SPACE FOR GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES AND ARE SPENDING OVER'$40,000 A YEAR JUST TO RENT THIS SPACE. THE CHAIRMAN FELT THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE BOARD TO SPEND A RELATIVELY SMALL AMOUNT OF MONEY TO ACQUIRE A FINE SITE AND A BUILDING WHICH HAS GREAT POTENTIAL AND IS STRUCTURALLY SOUND AND END UP WITH A VERY FINE COMPLEX FOR CONSIDERABLY LESS MONEY THAN IF WE HAD TO START FROM SCRATCH, ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER Loy, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER SIEBERT, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY AUTHORIZED ATTORNEY COLLINS TO MEET WITH THE ATTORNEY FOR THE HOSPITAL BOARD TO BEGIN DRAFTING.A CONTRACT RE ACQUIRING THE PRESENT HOSPITAL AND SURROUNDING PROPERTY AND REPORT BACK AT THE NEXT MEETING. 57 Booz 34 PAGF 2, V t ATTORNEY COLLINS PRESENTED THE BOARD WITH A DRAFT OF AN ORDINANCE ADOPTING A FIRE PREVENTION CODE, AND ASKED FIRE CHIEF SMITH TO COMMENT ON IT.

HE NOTED THAT IF THE BOARD FEELS THAT THEY WOULD RATHER ADMINISTER THE CODE, THAT IS FINE WITH THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. THEY ARE JUST SAYING THAT THEY ARE AVAILABLE, HAVE THE EXPERTISE, AND ARE WILLING TO WORK WITH THE COUNTY. HE POINTED OUT THAT THEY•DID MAKE A CHANGE RECOMMENDED BY THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT WHICH WOULD MAKE THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR THE HEAD MAN, AND ALL PERMITS AND COMPLAINTS WOULD BE HANDLED THROUGH HIS OFFICE. CHIEF SMITH FELT THIS ORDINANCE IS SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN NEEDED FOR A LONG TIME AND NOTED THAT IT WON T COST ANYTHING AS THERE WOULD BE NO NEED FOR ADDITIONAL PERSONNEL -TO BE EMPLOYED. CHIEF SMITH STATED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN FIRES WHICH HE BELIEVES COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED crF' PEOPLE HAD BEEN REQUIRED TO COMPLY WITH A CODE.

Bill Wodtke, Chairman Board of County Commissioners Indian River County Courthouse Vero Beach, Florida Dear Bill: We have had requests for refunds on taxes paid in error and some reductions in the face value of tax certificates issued because of an error in assessment made during the current tax year.. These requests for refunds have been forwarded to the Department of Revenue and we have received back the approval to make said corrections as necessary because of the errors in assessment. ~ According to the guides established in Florida Statutes, Chapter 195.106, this statute provides that taxing districts can comply with the order by authorizing the Tax Collector to make a refund from the undistributed funds held for that taxing authority. This is the way we should like to handle the refunds and do herewith request approval from the above addressed to authorize us to make such refund as previously approved by the Department of Revenue. We should like to have this back, if possible, by April 10, 1978, in order that it may be handled from distribution of funds for March, 1978. This office will furnish you.with a complete detailed break- down with each refund made and a copy of the approval by the Department of Revenue when the funds are deducted from the distri- bution receipt.

CHAIRMAN WODTKE AGREED THAT WE NEED TO GET THIS ON SOME TYPE OF COMPUTER PROGRAM, BUT NOTED THAT THERE ARE NOT VERY MANY LINE ITEMS, AND IT SHOULD BE RELATIVELY SIMPLE AS LONG AS WE HAVE SOMEONE TO SAY WHERE THE COSTS ARE TO BE CHARGED. HE FELT, HOWEVER, THAT A MONTHLY READ-OUT WOULD BE SUFFICIENT RATHER THAN A WEEKLY READ-OUT. MR, REGAN STATED THAT ACTUALLY THE PROGRAM CAN BE WORKED WITH A LEDGER, BUT HE DOES HAVE A CURRENT NEED TO GO BACK AND OBTAIN THE BREAKDOWN OF FIGURES FOR THE LAST YEAR, CHAIRMAN WODTKE REFERRED THIS MATTER TO COMMISSIONER LOY, CHAIRMAN OF THE BUDGET AND FINANCE COMMITTEE.

BRISSOM FELT A COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAM COULD BE ACCOMPLISHED IN A GIVEN AREA IN ONE YEAR, AND HIS RECOMMENDATION WAS TO GO FOR THE COMPREHENSIVE GRANT, TAKE ONE OF OUR THREE TARGET AREAS, C AND DO PAVING, TEARING DOWN HOUSES, ETC. MR. REGAN STATED THAT HE FELT YOU COULD NOT MAKE AN IMPACT OF THAT NATURE UNDER TWO YEARS, MR. REGAN NOTED THAT A COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAM ADDRESSES ITSELF TO A GIVEN TARGET AREA. AND MUST STAY WITHIN THAT SPECIFIC AREA, WHICH MAY AMOUNT TO AS LITTLE AS 4 TO 9 BLOCKS. WITH A SINGLE -PURPOSE GRANT, YOU MAY PICK ONE TYPE OF ACTIVITY, I.E., HOUSING, PUBLIC FACILITIES, OR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, AND APPLY IT IN THE VARIOUS TARGET AREAS. HE POINTED OUT THAT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DOES NOT RELATE TO OUR RURAL SETTING, AND MR. BRISSOM FELT, SINCE THE COMMITTEE PREFERRED THE SINGLE - PURPOSE GRANT, THAT IT WOULD BE BEST TO ADDRESS OURSELVES TO THE PUBLIC FACILITIES, WHICH IS, IN ESSENCE, WHAT WE HAVE BEEN DOING - PAVING ROADS, PUTTING IN CULVERTS, ETC, MR. REGAN INFORMED THE BOARD THAT, ALTHOUGH. THE COMMITTEE FAVORS THE SINGLE -PURPOSE GRANT THIS YEAR, THEY ARE LOOKING TOWARDS A COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAM IN THE FOLLOWING YEAR.
