2
These properties lie within several subdivisions on the. South
Barrier Island of Indian River County. This area is within the

the Preliminary Assessment Roll.
RECOMMENDATION
The Department of Utility Services recommends that the Board of
County Commissioners use the latest roll prepared by Lloyd and
Associates and authorize placing the assessment liens on the
benefitted properties.
The assessments will be recorded in the Recording Office of the
Clerk of the Circuit Court.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously adopted
Resolution 88-9, approving the Final Assessment Roll
for the following:

Federal National Mortgage
Assn. Public Nuisance;
Assessment for Abatement
of Nuisance
It is requested that the data presented herein be given formal
consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their
regular meeting of February 9, 1988.
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS:
On August 21, 1987, code enforcement staff sent a Notice of
Public Nuisance tp Federal National Mortgage Association,
concerning the overgrown weed condition of their property in
Clearview Terrace Subdivision. The respondents were cited as
6
maintaining their property in violation of Section 13-18(a)(1)
of the County Code, which prohibits the accumulation of .weeds
in excess of 18 inches in height within a platted, recorded
subdivision (where the lots are at a minimum of 50% developed).
A certified letter of notice was sent to the respondents, and
signed receipt was verified for September 5, 1987. Code
enforcement staff also posted notice on the subject property,
as set forth in Section 13-23 of the County Code, giving the
respondents thirty (30) days to remedy the violation.
The weed violation was not remedied within the thirty (30) day
time period. Therefore, in accordance with 13-19(b) of the
County Code, County personnel (i.e. Road & Bridge Division)
abated the weed violation, with costs to be assessed against
the property owner.
Section 13-21 of the County Code requires that the cost of a
County weed nuisance abatement shall be calculated and reported
to the County Commissioners, who, by resolution, shall assess
such costs against the subject property. This matter is
presented herein to the Board for consideration to adopt said
resolution.
ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS:
Section 13-21(a), Public Nuisances, of the Code of Laws and
Ordinances of Indian River County specifically reads as follows:
"After abatement of nuisance by the county, the cost
thereof to the county as to each lot, parcel or tract
of land shall be calculated and reported to the Board
of County Commissioners. Thereupon, the Board of
County Commissioners, by resolution, shall assess
such costs against such lot, parcel or tract of land.
Such resolution shall describe the land and state the
cost of abatement, which shall include an adminis-
trative cost of seventy-five dollars ($75.00) per
lot.
Such assessment shall be a legal, valid and binding
obligation upon the property against which made until
paid, The assessment shall be due and payable thirty
(30) days after the mailing of notice of assessment
after which interest shall accrue at the rate of
twelve (12) per cent per annum on any unpaid portion
thereof."
Costs for equipment: use and labor, as indicated by the Road &
Bridge Division, plus $75.00 administrative cost calculates to
be:
Labor - 2 men at $4.77/hr. for 8 hours
Flatbed Truck at $24.00/hr. for 2 hours
Landfill charges
Administrative Fee
TOTAL
$76.32
48.00
3.00
75.00
$202.32
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners adopt
the proposed resolution assessing $202.32 in abatement costs,
in accordance with Section 13-21(a), of the Indian River County
Code of Laws and Ordinances.

Commissioner Wheeler asked how large the lot is, and Robert
Keating, Director of Planning & Development, stated that it is
under 10,000 sq. ft.
Commissioner Bowman asked if $4.47 an hour for the two
county employees included Social Security, medical insurance, and
fringe benefits, because she felt that $202 was a pretty cheap
price for all that work.
OMB Director Joe Baird doubted that hourly rate included
fringe benefits, which are normally 30% more, and Commissioner
Eggert suggested raising it 30%.
Chairman Scurlock suggested approval subject to confirmation
that the $202 includes all costs incurred by the county.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously adopted
Resolution 88-10, providing for the assessment for
abatement of nuisance against Clearview Terrace
Subdivision, Lot 6, Block 1, presently owned by
1-ederal National Mortgage Association; subject to
confirmation that the $202 abatement assessment covers
all costs incurred by the county.

F. Road & Bridge Request for Authorization to Purchase Melting Pot
and Backhoe from Monies Remaining in Federal Revenue Sharing Fund 102
The Board reviewed the following memo dated 2/1/88:
TO: Members of the Board
of County Commissioners
THROUGH: Joseph A. Baird
OMB Director
James Davis
Director of Public Works
FROM: Leila Miller
Budget Analyst
DATE: February 1, 1988
SUBJECT: ROAD AND BRIDGE - MONIES
AVAILABLE IN FEDERAL REVENUE
SHARING FOR VIBRATORY ROLLER
FOR ALLOCATION TO OTHER
EQUIPMENT
DESCIPTION AND CONDITIONS
During the budget hearings last September, the board approved the
purchase of a vibratory roller for Road and Bridge. The roller was
budgeted for $96,500 and was to be paid out of fund 102 - Federal
Revenue Sharing. Bids were recently received back on this equipment and
the board authorized the purchase of one unit for $39,890. The Road and
Bridge Department is desperately need -of
P P Y � in upgraded equipment for
paving maintenance and asks that the board consider the purchase of a _
new melting pot and a backhoe with the remaining funds. Staff's reasons
are outlined below:.
Melting Pot - A melting pot is used to heat the material that
will eventually be laid to repair cracks in pavement on the
road. The current melting pot is not designed for the large
amount of road work that is done by Road and Bridge. In fact,
right now a crew has to wait three hours for the pot to heat
and at best they can only do two streets before they run out of
material. When equipment and men are idled for three hours to
wait for the pot to reheat, this situation impairs efficiency
and creates a bad image to passers-by. A new melting pot with
greater capacity is estimated to cost $14,000.00 and is
expected to cut idle time since the crew would not have to stop
to reheat material.
Backhoe - In recent months, Road and Bridge has been
experiencing operational problems with their backhoe to the
point where there has been difficulty in getting jobs
completed. Again efficiency suffers when a crew is left
standing idle due to faulty or inadequate equipment. It is
felt that due to the age of this unit more repairs will only
provide a temporary solution and breakdowns and idle time
will continue to plague Road and Bridge in between repairs.
permanent solution would be to purchase a new Unit at an
approximate cost of $42,500.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve
the purchase of one melting pot at a cost of $14,000, and one
backhoe at approximately $42,500 for Road and Bridge; funds to come
from Federal Revenue Sharing (Please note that this agenda item
is not a budget amendment because funds are already available in
Federal Revenue Sharing. This item simply discusses an alternate
allocation of the $96,500 available to Road and Bridge in this
fund).

H. Farmer's Home Administration Request for Additional Services
The Board reviewed the following memo dated 2/1/88:
TO: Members of the Board
of County Commissioners
DATE: February 1, 1988
SUBJECT: FARMER'S HOME ADMINISTRATION
REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL SERVICES
THROUGH: Joseph A. Baird
OMB Director
FROM: Leila Miller
Budget Analyst
DESCIPTION AND CONDITIONS
Per the Board's request, please find attached Partial Pay
Estimate # 40. This request is for payment of additional services
performed by Masteller and Moler on the Gifford Project. It
includes special engineering services as provided by Section D of
the Engineering Contract dated November 13, 1985. In this
instance the special services are 'for additional land surveying
services rendered on contract # 3, easement surrey of Hawk's Nest
Golf Course.' These additional services will bring total payment
on this contact to $119,622.19.
RECOMMENDATIONS
This contract was approved by the Board for up to $150,000.
Given this, staff recommends approval of the payment for $1,280
for additional services.
Chairman Scurlock explained that he asked for this to be
removed for discussion because it wasn't his intention that
everyone of these items were to continue to come back to the
Board for approval. Originally, $100,000 was budgeted, but
$28,000 was taken out of that to pay the costs of the Bent Pines
lawsuit. He believed the intent was that the $400 or $500 items
were not to come back to the Board for approval until after they
exceeded the $100,000.
Commissioner Eggert understood from the information given
the Board during the meeting of January 26th, that the costs had
made their way up to $118,000, which left only $10,000 in the
original $100,000 budget.
Chairman Scurlock interjected that when the original budget
was set, it did not anticipate the Bent Pines lawsuit and the
FEB 9 1988 BOOK 70 of,E 802
15
1988
BOOK 70 FAGE 803
County paid $28,000 for those costs. He did not see a need for
$400-$500 items coming back before the Board, because then we
would be getting into day-to-day administration. However, once
we get over the $100,000, then those items would be brought back
to the Board.
Commissioner Eggert understood that, but wasn't clear on
what "additional services" meant, because, first of all,
sometimes additional services becomes the packing area, not
additional engineering services. Secondly, the Board really has
not seen exactly where all of that was spent. She believed there
should be an accounting at the end of the $100,000.
Chairman Scurlock felt the list was fine, but did not see a
need to review the various $400,$5.00 or $700 items each week.
Commissioner Eggert pointed out that there is only $10,000
remaining in the original $100,000 that was budgeted for
additional services. Even without approval of today's $1280
item, we are up to $118,342.19, and when you deduct the $28,000
for the Bent Pine lawsuit, that gives you a total of $90,342.19
with less than $10,000 remaining of the original $100,000. She
felt there is a question of apprising the Board of how we got to
where we are, and what the additional services include. There is
a point at which we need a strict accounting, and any costs over
that should be brought back in a change order of some kind.
Director Pinto advised that there will be change orders on
this project which wilt have to be approved by this Board and the
FmHA.
Commissioner Eggert stressed that the Board was asked to
approve an additional $50,000 in the meeting of January 26th when
we didn't know what was in the original $100,000.
Director Pinto explained that in this type of a budget, they
pulled out and projected that there would be $100,000 of other
services performed by engineers or special services other than
our own engineer. Our own engineer is responsible to retain

those people and pay them out. That does not give him an
American Express card to charge up extra fees for his own
benefit. These are for services such as density testing, etc.
Chairman Scurlock pointed out that today's $1280 item was in
the original budget and is for some survey work at Hawk's Nest.
He felt the problem is that the memo reads as if this is
something new when it really is not.
Director Pinto explained that the contract we have between
the engineer and FmHA specifically sets up the tables and the
amounts of the final payments. He emphasized that at the end of
the project they go back and look at the actual total cost of the
project, count the number of feet of pipe installed, and equate
that back to the unit prices. Whatever the total cost of the
project is, you go back to the table that is set up in the
contract and add or subtract the engineer's fees, and he may end
up getting less or more. He assured the Board that there is a
final accounting at the end of the project.
Chairman Scurlock believed that the Board wants a final
accounting of where all the monies were spent, but he just did
not see us getting into a situation where the Board is approving
$1000 items every week.
Commissioner Eggert felt that while she understood this is
not the case here, it is very easy for things to slide into a
miscellaneous line item like this when there are no exact rules
for it, and when there are no exact rules for it, she would
rather see more items come through the Board than less items.
Director Pinto pointed out that since he has been with the
County, Utilities has not overrun on any project, and has
followed all budgets very closely. Further, this budget is being
followed very closely by the FmHA.
Chairman Scurlock felt that once the budget is established,
the County Administrator should follow it and have the final say
when something should come before the Board, but Commissioner
Eggert preferred not to wait until the end. If we get to the end
17

E ooK 0 FAGE 805
of $100,000, let's see how that was spent; and when we get to the
end of the $50,000, let's see how that was spent.
Director Pinto stated that they will go through and double
check to make sure every item was removed that was charged
against that contract that they feel was not specifically charged
when we went into the project itself. They will go through and
take all of that out. For instance, Ernestine Williams' salary
is being charged against the project. That means we are
borrowing money to pay her salary. It is different than if it
was a grant, because it all has to be paid back. So we will go
through all those items, even the engineer's items, and remove
those things for which we think we will not have to borrow to pay
for. If we can cash fund them, we will cash fund them, and then
we will come back and let the Board know exactly where we are.
There will be a final accounting.
OMB Director Joe Baird understood that staff is to come back
to the Board when they exceed the $150,000, and Chairman Scurlock
stated that is what he wanted.
Commissioner Eggert stated that she would like them to come
back at $100,000 and then again at $150,000, as she would like
to get an accounting part way through.
Commissioner Wheeler could not see bringing it back once the
Board has approved it. He felt, in that case, that we could
carry it one step further and have an itemized billing of
everything that is done, i.e. nuts, bolts, screws, and we could
be spending our whole time doing the work that we rely on staff
to do.
Director Baird offered to send in monthly accounts off his
spread sheets, and the Board indicated that would be fine.

AFFIDAVIT OF EXEMPTION
FROM: Stan Boling - REFERENCES: spoto
Chief, Current Development STAN4
It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal
consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their
regular meeting of February 9, 1988.
DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS:
Randy Mosby, P.E., acting on behalf of James Spoto, is completing
the County's "affidavit of exemption" subdivision process for a
three parcel development located on the west side of Roseland
Road, extending west to the Sebastian River, immediately north of
the Point 0' Woods subdivision. The subdivision ordinance,
through the filing of an "affidavit of exemption", allows creation
of parcels ±5 acres in size without requiring platting or con-
struction of required improvements (roads, drainage systems).
Staff will approve the subdivision, as provided for in the ordi-
nance, as soon as all applicable affidavit of exemption criteria
are satisfied.
One criterion that applies to the development is the County's
public water access requirement [section 10(r) of the subdivision
ordinance]. The access requirement may be satisfied by either
dedication and improvement of an access easement or by dedication
of the fair market value of such an easement. On behalf of James
Spoto, Randy Mosby is now requesting that the Board of County
Commissioners accept a fair market value dedication of monies in
lieu of providing an actual improved public access easement.
ANALYSIS:
The Board of County Commissioners may accept the money dedication
in lieu of an actual easement in order to improve existing public
parks or access areas. The Board considers two major items when
reviewing requests to accept money dedications:
1. are there other public areas and/or facilities nearby that
already afford access to the water body, which may be im-
proved by the money dedication?; and
2. does the proposed money dedication reasonably reflect the
fair market value of an actual easement which meets the
subdivision requirements?
Existing Public Facilities:
The Dale Wimbrow Park and adjacent Donald McDonald park are
located approximately 1/4 mile north of the subject property. It
is staff's opinion that the combined acreage of the existing parks
(±74 acres) and combined shoreline (±3,100') affords adequate
public access in the immediate vicinity of that portion of the
Sebastian River. Improvement of the existing facilities could
1 22
contribute towards improved public river access through increased
opportunities at these parks. Based on past Board policy, the
subject property is considered to be within close proximity of
existing public access, which could be improved via the proposed
money dedication.
Proposed Dedication:
The public access regulations require that the subject development
provide a 15' wide improved access easement from the nearest
public road (Roseland Road) to the water. The applicant is
proposing to dedicate the fair market value of an improved
accessway from Roseland Road along the north side of Collier Creek
to a point at the confluence of the Creek and the Sebastian River.
By field investigation, staff has verified that the proposed
improved 15' wide easement would satisfy the public water access
requirement.
The estimated fair market value of the easement proposed to be
dedicated to the County is based on appraisal values deemed
reasonable by the County tax appraiser's office. Staff accepts as
reasonable the proposed $1,580.00 dedication as representative of
the fair market value of an easement meeting the public water
access requirements.
In summary, it is staff's opinion that the proposed monetary
dedication is an acceptable alternative to the provision of an
actual public access easement.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners authorize
staff to accept a monetary dedication of $1,580.00 in lieu of an
actual improved access easement, at such time that an affidavit of
exemption may be granted for the proposed three lot development.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED
by Commissioner Eggert, that the Board accept a
monetary dedication of $1,580 in lieu of an actual
improved access easement, at such time that an
affidavit of exemption may be granted for the proposed
three lot development.
Under discussion, Commissioner Bowman had a problem with
this because this land lies right within an oxbow in the river,
and she couldn't see cutting it up into 3 lots. In fact, she
didn't see where the boundaries of these lots are going to be.
It seemed to her that we are giving up a good chance to protect
Collier Creek, because if we have an access there, we would have
control of Collier Creek.
Stan Boling, Chief of Current Development, explained that
basically the affidavit of exemption is a method whereby in lieu
23
FEB 1988
FAII 810
Pr"
FEB 0 1988
BOOK 70 ME 811
of coming in and putting in a paved roadway and developing a
situation, the property owner is looking at creating 5 -acre
parcels. The actual density and development of the property
should be a lot Tess with an affidavit of exemption than with a
subdivision.
The Board can accept money in lieu of an access easement in
two types of situations. One is where the resulting easement
that would meet the requirements would not prove usable by the
public if it was too small or something like that, and the other
situation is when it is located close to existing park land that
could be further developed with the donation of money.
Commissioner Bowman wondered how you can compare money to
having a nice footpath there down to the Sebastian River and a
place where people could carry in a canoe and put it in the
water, or whatever. She asked what consideration was being given
to the protection to Collier Creek.
Director Keating believed that the requirement in the
ordinance for water access to the river or the ocean is ideally a
good requirement, but one of the drawbacks is that there is no
requirement for parking or the provision of ancillary parking
spaces. That is one of the reasons staff feels it is better to
get the money to improve existing parks, and in this particular
case, there is access to the river very close by. The protection
to Collier Creek comes with the affidavit of exemption and the
5 -acre parcels which will result in less stormwater, fewer septic
tanks, and less effluent. Director Keating believed it would be
much better for the environment to have the lower densities.
Commissioner Bowman pointed out that there is a tremendously
wide right-of-way on Roseland Road, which would give plenty of
room for parking for the few people who would use this access.
Commissioner Bird did not feel we legally could encourage
people to park in the right-of-way. He felt the point here is
that there is a 70 -acre park only a quarter mile away with easy
access and even a boat ramp.
24
Commissioner Bowman stressed that it is not the same;
Wimbrow Park is practically a desert, and this spot is wooded and
has a nice little stream. It is a lovely place for people to
walk.
Engineer Randy Mosby, speaking for the applicant, stated
that their firm has been working on this for almost 4 years now,
and originally it was going to be a 13 -lot subdivision. However,
the owners felt that really wasn't in conformity with the
Roseland area. Instead, there are 3 large, buildable lots on
this property, and the owners do not want a so-called public
access on these large estate Tots. Approximately 35% of this
property is wetlands under the jurisdiction of the State, and Mr.
Mosby did not believe the owners could prevent anyone from going
through there. However, the owners do not want it officially
designated as a public easement. Further, he did not believe the
residents of Point O' Woods would want it either, because it
parallels their property on the north. They believe that the
decreased density on this property is probably the best use in
compliance with the Comp Plan. He emphasized that the owner is
willing to give the money in lieu of the easement and that there
are two parks north of this property that could be improved, Dale
Wimbro and Donald MacDonald, which provide over 1000 feet of
river frontage.
Earl Masteller, resident of Point 0' Woods subdivision
across Collier Creek from the subject property, wished to see the
developers give the courtesy of explaining their project to the
residents of Point 0' Woods. He did not know it they would have
any objection, but the property in question is a beautifully
wooded piece of property and has quite a bit of Tow lands. He
felt the problem here is due to Point 0' Woods being in the City
of Sebastian.
Chairman Scurlock believed the reason they were not notified
is that this is not a rezoning; the developers are only in the

process of going through the guidelines to develop their
property.
Mr. Masteller repeated that they certainly would like the
opportunity to see the plan and make some input.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. The Motion
passed by a vote of 4-1, Commissioner Bowman
dissenting.
WINTER BEACH REFUSE STATION PROPERTY
The Board reviewed the following memo dated 1/28/88:
TO:
BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS DATE: JANUARY 28, 1988
THRU: CHARLES P. BALCZUN
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR
TERRANCE G. PINTO )1
DIRECTOR OF UTILITCES
FROM: H. T. "SONNY" DE
MANAGER, SOLID WASTE AGEMENT
DEPARTMENT OF UTILITY ERVICES
SUBJECT: WINTER BEACH REFUSE STATION PROPERTY
BellSouth Telephone Company has requested a lease for a portion of
the subject property. They desire to erect a 285 foot tower to
place equipment on for the state-wide cellular telephone system that
will serve the Indian River County link. The required amount of
property is 45'x 55' for the equipment site and easements for the
guyed cables. They will also need a 10' wide easement for access
and utility service from South Winter Beach land.
The County owns approximately 19.5 acres at the subject site with
about 3.2 acres being used for the refuse station. Anticipated
renovations for the station will not require additional property.
The Master Plan for the sophisticated cellular telephone system
requires a limited area within a County in order to facilitate
alignment of antennas from one link to another. Due to this
requirement, the County tower at Hobart Park was not within the
designated area, plus unavailability of space at the 285' level on
our tower.
I have spoken with Mr. Wally Bender who represents BellSouth and
they are willing to lease the property for five years at $300.00 per
month. Each five year extension will increase the lease rate by
15%. All costs of survey work will be borne by BellSouth.
It is recommended that the Board authorize staff to enter into
negotiations with BellSouth for the above described lease, which
will be brought back to the Board for final approval.
26
Commissioner Bird did not feel that $24,000 was adequate
compensation for using this site. With the guy wire
configuration on this tower, you are talking about the use of 9
acres, and he would not vote to give up 9 acres of County -owned
land for $24,000 a year. He felt the way it is written up is
misleading, because they only want a little piece 45' x 55', but
by the time you get those guy wires out there, you are talking
about 600' x 600'.
Administrator Balczun stated that was the telephone
company's proverbial first offer and we intend to negotiate tong
and hard with them.
Commissioner Eggert pointed out that there is also the
matter of liability for us within the fall of the tower.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Wheeler, the Board unanimously
authorized staff to further negotiate the lease
with the BellSouth Telephone Company.
APPOINTMENT TO DOWNTOWN REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
Chairman Scurlock advised that Vero Beach Councilman Warren
Winchester called the other day and requested that the County
Commission appoint a member of the Commission to serve on the new
redevelopment committee being formed by the City of Vero Beach,
and Commissioner Eggert has expressed an interest in serving.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by
Commissioner Bowman, the Board unanimously appointed
Commissioner Eggert to serve on the Downtown
Redevelopment Agency.

SUBJECT: Watershed Committees
REFERENCES:
The Indian River Lagoon Narrows Action Committee, and the
Sebastian Watershed Action Committee met simultaneously and I was
unable to attend both meetings. I did attend the Indian River
Lagoon Narrows Action Committee, and was appointed Chairman of
that committee.
I would like to suggest that Commissioner Margaret C. Bowman be
appointed as the County Commission's representative to -serve on
the Sebastian Watershed Action Committee.
Commissioner Wheeler reported that last Friday he went up to
Melbourne to attend the organizational meetings of the Indian
River Lagoon Narrows Action Committee and the Sebastian Watershed
Action Committee; however, they were being held simultaneously
and he was able to attend only the Narrows Committee. He would
like to ask that Commissioner Bowman be appointed to the
Sebastian Watershed Committee and he would stay on the Narrows
Committee where he'has been elected chairman.
Commissioner Bird asked if it is necessary to have all these
committees studying the river in one way or another, and
Commissioner Wheeler explained that basically this is a spin-off
from the Marine Resources Council and currently there is
$5 -million available in federal funds -- $3 -million for planning
and $2 -million for acting. The feeling of the Marine Resources
Committee is that they don't want any more planning, as they have
done that. They do want the $2 -million to enact some type of
28
management system for the stormwater runoff and the watershed.
The lagoon watersheds go back into where you get your sheet flows
and everything else, so it is not just the river or the lagoon as
we see it.
Commissioner Bowman explained that they have divided the
entire lagoon up into 3 sections because it is impossible for any
one group to deal with the entire area. She believed that now is
the time for us to get politically involved, because that is what
it is all about.
Chairman Scurlock felt that Commissioner Bowman should serve
on the Watershed Committee since she knew more about it than
anyone else, and Commissioner Bowman interjected that she has
been working with this for a long time and would like to see
Commissioner Wheeler get involved as it is very important that
someone else from the Board of County Commissioners knows
something about what is going on.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously appointed
Commissioner Bowman to the Sebastian Watershed
Committee.
NORTH COUNTY FIRE DISTRICT MEETING
The Chairman announced that immediately upon adjournment the
Board of County Commissioners would reconvene acting as the
