change the name of a franchise and feels the owner has provided
adequate information for the approval of this request.
RECOMMENDATION
The Department of Utility Services has no objection with changing
the franchise name from Fellsmere Management Company Water and Sewer
Franchise to Sun Ag, Inc., Water and Sewer Utility Franchise, and
requests that the Board authorize the Chairman to sign the attached
Resolution.

RESOLUTION FOR MacWILLIAM PARK PAVING & LIGHTING CONSTRUCTION
Public Works Director Davis reviewed the following:
TO: James E. Chandler,
County Administrator
FROM: James W. Davis, P.E.,^ '
Public Works Director-- 1`
SUBJECT: Resolution for MacWilliams Park
Paving and Lighting Construction
FBIP Project No. B89003
DATE: March 21, 1989
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS
In order to be eligible for certain funding available from
the Florida Boating Improvement Program, the County must
formally adopt a resolution designating each project.
MacWilliams Park is eligible for paving and lighting
improvements.
RECOMMENDATION AND FUNDING
Staff recommends adoption of the resolution as submitted.
Director Davis informed the Board that the City of Vero
Beach had requested funds for improvements at MacWilliam Park
from the Boating Improvement Program funds, which the Board
approved earlier. The City since added some lighting to the
project, which increased the cost about $9,000; so, they now are
requesting that amount above the $20,000 that was originally
approved for the project. The Parks & Recreation Committee did
endorse this, and this Resolution is just a routine thing we have
to send with the application to the DNR.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Com-
missioner Bowman, the Board unanimously adopted
Resolution 89-33 certifying that the MacWilliam
Park paving and lighting construction project is
eligible for funding by the Florida Boating Improve-
ment Program.
12
RESOLUTION NO. 89- 33
WHEREAS, Indian River County is applying for a
grant from the Florida Boating Improvement Program; and
WHEREAS, Indian River County must formally adopt a
resolution designating each project:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of
County Commissioners of Indian River County that the
MacWilliams Park Paving and Lighting construction project is
established so as to be eligible for funding by the Florida
Boating Improvement Program.
The foregoing resolution was offered by
Commissioner Scurlock and seconded by Commissioner
Bowman , and, being put to a vote, the vote was as
follows:
Chairman Gary C. Wheeler
Aye
Vice Chairman Carolyn R. Eggert Aye
Commissioner Richard N. Bird Aye
Commissioner Margaret C. Bowman Aye

The Chairman thereupon declared the resolution
duly passed and adopted this 4th day of April , 1989.

Q
ee
Gary C/Wheeler, Chairman
Commissioner Bird reported that we are still running
in excess of $100,000 in the Boating Improvements Trust Fund.
Commissioner Eggert wondered just what kind of project that
fund covers, and Director Davis advised that it covers just about
anything that is boating related.
Commissioner Scurlock felt we must Zook very seriously at
this in relation to the program we eventually are going to
propose for Blue Cypress Lake for bathrooms, etc., because it
will be a very expensive project, and Commissioner Bird agreed
that was a good idea to keep in mind.

DREDGING OF 14TH ST. CHANNEL (ROCKRIDGE) TO INTRACOASTAL WATERWAY
The Board reviewed memo from the Public Works Director:
TO: James E. Chandler,
County Administrator
FROM: James W. Davis, P.E.,
Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Dredging of 14th Street Channel from Rockridge
Subdivision to the Intracoastal Waterway
DATE: March 27, 1989
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS
In late 1988, the Board instructed staff to obtain permits for
the dredging of the 14th Street Canal between Rockridge
Subdivision and the Intracoastal waterway. At this time, a US.
Army Corps of Engineers Maintenance Dredging Permit has been
issued.
The Florida DER Dredge and Fill Permit Application process has
begun.
The DER has requested extensive water quality analysis, soils
information, and hydrography work. To provide this information,
staff has received the following costs estimates:
Soils Testing - Empire Engineering - $ 600
Water Quality Analysis - Envirometrics - $2,510
Hydrography - Coastal Tech - $3,700
Total Cost $6,810
Staff is trying to encourage the DER to waive the above testing
requirements, but to date we have not been successful.
ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS
At this time, funding for the project has not been determined.
Staff is of the opinion that since the project benefits a
localized area and no public facilities are connected to the
channel, special assessment funding is the most appropriate.
In the interim, the Budget Office and Public Works Department
concur that the MSTU Reserve for Contingency Fund
004-199-581-099.91 is an appropriate source to transfer $6,810
into a new construction account (004-210-572-066.51) for payment
of the above services. The existing balance of the MSTU
Contingency Fund is $680,591.
RECOMMENDATION AND FUNDING
It is recommended that the attached Budget Amendment be approved
to transfer $6,810 from Fund 004-199-581-099.91 to a new
construction account fund 004-210-572-066.51 and that staff be
authorized to expend the $6,810 for testing and hydrography. If
the DER will waive the above requirements, the funds will not be
expended.
14
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by
Commissioner Scurlock, to approve Budget Amendment
#064 to transfer funds as described above and authorize
staff to expend those funds for testing and hydrography
if necessary.
Commissioner Bowman commented that she has been following
this quite closely and has been in contact with the DNR. She
felt this probably qualifies as maintenance dredging and advised
that within the last week we have obtained a signed affidavit
from the son of the man who actually dredged the canal origi-
nally. It was necessary to have this information in order to
have it qualify, and we also have been able to locate some very
old aerials. All this information has been sent to Orlando; so,
she was hopeful that it will not be necessary to spend this
$6,800.
Bill Nelson, Rockridge resident, confirmed that after doing
a lot of work, they were finally able to track down the person
who dredged the canal, and State Representative Dale Patchett had
said all we actually needed was an aerial view; so, he also
believed this should be the answer we need. Mr. Nelson continued
that when this first came up, Director Davis felt we needed to remove
something like 9,000 yards of fill (or about $50,000); however,
it turns out that considerably less is needed, and if we can get
FIND into this, Mr. Nelson felt it would only cost about $10,000.
Now, it should be possible to get the permit and then move ahead
to get a dredging estimate.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION.
It was voted on and carried unanimously.

DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS
The Public Works Department staff has completed three
alternative designs and cost estimates for the construction
of a Sheriff's Department Firing Range at the 40 -acre county
mining site located at the southeast corner of 4th Street
and 74th Avenue. The County Firing Range Committee approved
use of this site for a Sheriff's Department Firing Range in
late 1988.
Recent meetings with Roy Raymond of the Sheriff's Department
have resulted in a preferred design selection. The cost of
the facility is estimated to be $75,749 (see attached memo
from staff to Sheriff Dobeck dated 2/13/89).
The above cost includes the necessary berms and/or walls for
a basic facility, and do not include parking lot
improvements, storage buildings, target holders, fencing,
utilities, and other items that may be desirable.
ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS
Staff is currently applying for Special Exception Use from
the Community Development Department for appropriate use of
the property. Engineering and site plan approval should
require a minimum effort. Construction of the improvements
is recommended by outside contract.
FUNDING
At this time, the project funding is being,determined by the
Sheriff's Department and County Staff.

Public Works Director
SUBJECT:
DATE: March 31, 1989
Sheriff's Department Additional Costs For Equipment,
Utilities, and Incidental Construction
This date, Roy Raymond of the Sheriff's Department informed me
that the Sheriff's budget would have to fund the following costs
to make the Proposed Firing Range functional:
Reliable Well Drilling - well & pump - poor surface water quality
exists in this area and deep .flow well is required (400' deep)
Well $3,500.00
Aerator 525.00
Tank/Pump 500.00
Irrigation Pump 500.00
Water Softener 550.00
Subtotal for Water System $ 5,575.00
20'x20' CBS building (materials) $ 4,250.00
Concrete Ramps 3,630.00
Target (turning) System (materials) 20,000.00
Preparation Fee for Targets 5,000.00
Electrical for Target 1,500.00
Sod 5,000.00
Port -a -lets 500.00
Estimate $45,455.00
If land can be deeded or leased to Sheriff, then land could be
insured by the Sheriff's Dept. carrier if:
1) Site is totally fenced and locked
2) Officer must be on duty when using range
Fencing a 800'x600' area would cost in materials (2800 if x $8)
Approx. $22,400
The Sheriff anticipates funding all of the above with the
Confiscated Property Fund. If a shortfall exists, the scope of
work above may be reduced or additional funding requested.
Major Roy Raymond came before the Board representing Sheriff
Dobeck in regard to locating a firing range at the old stump
dump. He informed the Board that since yesterday, he and
Chairman Wheeler have been contacted by several residents of the
area in question, and it seems there may be some opposition to
the proposed location. Before they speak, he wished to review
the history of the Sheriff approaching the Commission in regard
to his need for training of his personnel, at which time it was
generally agreed that all would be better served if the Sheriff's
range could be incorporated with one the public could utilize
18
also. After that the Firing Range Committee was formed, and
Major Raymond spoke of the difficulties they have encountered in
trying diligently over the past 5 years to find a location for a
firing range that would be suitable both for law enforcement and
civilian purposes. He advised that at the last meeting of the
committee, it was agreed there was a dire need for the Sheriff to
obtain a range.
Major Raymond then spoke in detail of the Sheriff's problems
in trying to schedule time for his personnel at other facilities
as set out in the following excerpts from his letter of March
20th to Commissioner Bird:
11 This morning the Indian River County Sheriff's Department was contacted by the
Vero Beach Police Department and advised that we are to immediately cease using
their range for any training purposes. Their representative, Detective Frank
DeVencenzo, advised us that they had brought a representative from the National
Rifle Association in to inspect the range and it was dangerous for the use of any
rifle or shotgun training and was marginal for any other type of firearm. They
stated that for this reason that no other agency or person would be allowed to
use their range other than the Vero Beach Police Department.
Under our present training schedule, in order to meet minimum basic requirements,
we must utilize some type of firearms range for a minimum of 2,448 man hours
per year. This amount of training covers only basic firearms qualifications and
excludes Emergency Response Team training, special scenario training and civilian
sponsored training courses, which are presently being conducted on a minimum of
once a month.
Upon learning of this problem, I contacted Assistant Superintendent Tommy
Douberley of the Indian River Correctional . Institution range, in an attempt to
assess the availability of that facility. Presently, in addition to training their
personnel, this range is also used by Florida Corrections Academy, Indian River
Community College, U. S. Coast Guard, Internal Revenue Service, Florida Peace
Officers Association and the Governor's 20 Pistol Matches. As you can see this
range is already over crowded . and is scheduled on a first come first serve basis.
In addition to this, I was advised that utilizing this range on a minimum of 2,000
to 3,000 per year would have a large maintenance impact on their facility and
would require some type of monetary concession to aid in the upkeep of that
facility. IP
Major Raymond stressed that if the Sheriff has to continue
to train his personnel on either the Correctional Institution's
range or the St. Lucie County Sheriff's range, if it is possible
to secure the time needed at those ranges, it would require
$50,820 in overtime expenditures, and that figure coupled with
travel and vehicle usage could well exceed $60,000 in the coming
year. If the Sheriff's Department had their own range and could
schedule on -duty training days, the figure for overtime
expenditures could be reduced by at least two thirds. He then
19
a'1 4_ 1989
BOOK 76 PAGE 503
1
APR 41989
BOOK 76 PAGE 504
discussed the cost of the proposed range, noting that the Sheriff
has costed out items that would be additional costs needed to
make the range functional after the berm was thrown up. These
are as follows:
Well and Pump System $ 5,075 1
Storage Building 4,250
Concrete Ramps 4,330
Turning Targets 26,500
Sod 5,000
Fence 22,400
Insurance
Restroom Facilities
Total $67,555
Major Raymond commented that up until yesterday they had
been optimistic about the site and did not feel they would have
opposition in the area, but it now appears there is some
opposition.
Commissioner Bird inquired about the hours the proposed
range would be utilized.
Major Raymond advised that the range would be used 3 to 4
days a week by the Sheriff's personnel and on Saturday for the
public course. The range probably would be closed on Sundays.
They do have night training courses, which they try to do in the
winter when it gets dark earlier, but this probably would take
place only 3 to 4 times a year and the hours would be 6:30 to
7:00 P.M. till about 9:00 P.M.
Commissioner Scurlock noted that it appears the City of Vero
Beach pistol range has been declared unsafe and the range at the
Correctional Institution apparently has very heavy usage; so, we
4
have three needs here, and he wondered why a coordinated funding
couldn't work rather than spending all this money on a temporary
facility. He felt possibly we should take a step backwards,
realizing that the St. John's River Water Management District
won't be solving our problem any time soon, and all three could
work together to build a permanent range.
20
Commissioner Bird agreed that certainly our first preference
has been to try to locate a site in a remote area and build what
we call the ultimate range, but unfortunately that has been a
very frustrating experience. The committee has worked in a
spirit of cooperation with St. John's, but their properties are
considerably west and their main function is water control. The
only possible range location in their long range plan that will
be high and dry is in the Latt-Maxey property out at 20 Mile
Bend, but because of the distance and the difficult access, it is
felt that would not be greatly utilized. Another potential site
is on the Jewish Federation property. There is the possibility
St. John's could acquire that property through a land swap and
might consider making it available; however, Commissioner Bird
advised that he has been all over that property; there is not a
dry spot on it; and although it is a closer location to the City,
he believed the cost of creating a range there, plus the roadway
that would be needed to get to it, would be prohibitive.
Commissioner Bird continued to stress the frustration of
trying to find the ultimate site for the ultimate range and noted
that in the meantime, the Sheriff has a very immediate need. He
agreed that what is proposed may be a goodly sum for what may not
be the ultimate facility, but noted that we are at the point
where we really need to come up with something the Sheriff's
Department can use. He asked Major Raymond if there is any
possibility of expanding the range at the Correctional Institu-
tion and allowing more people to use it.
Major Raymond believed that at the present time the land
usage planned out there is about at a maximum. They have
extended to the west about as far as they can, and they already
have plans to have an educational building east of the range.
The range originally was designed for the purpose of training the
Correctional personnel and the college basic law enforcement
courses. After it was completed, there was some more educational
money that went to the St. Lucie County range; so, some of the
21
APR 4 1989 BOOK 76 F 6L 5O5
P2 a i989
BOOK 76 NaG506
pressure was taken off from the college and moved down there.
That range is suitable for the Correctional personnel training
needs and the state training needs, which are their basic
concern. Major Raymond advised that while they have been very
cooperative and bent over backwards to work with the Sheriff,
the biggest problem is in trying to schedule time for the
Sheriff's deputies because, naturally, the Correctional personnel
has first priority. In addition, the Sheriff cannot conduct his
civilian training programs there because that is not allowed on
the state range. He emphasized that the Sheriff is willing to
accept any location the Commission feels is for the good of
everybody, but they are in dire need. This training is a very
high liability area for the Sheriff, and it has gotten to a
crucial point.
Commissioner Scurlock commented that he sees the southwest
portion of the county growing, and he is concerned about spending
the money to locate a facility where every day we will have
additional pressure to move it. He believed on the west side of
1-95 we wouldn't see that much pressure for the next 5 or 10
years. He did realize that the committee has spent a great deal
of time on this, however.
Commissioner Bowman believed the main objection is the noise
created by a firing range. She commented that she lived within 2
miles of a range at one time, and it was pretty bad. Commis-
sioner Bowman believed that no matter where we put this, it will
be in conflict with someone; so, why not spend a lot of money and
build an indoor facility.
Major Raymond felt that is really not a feasible alterna-
tive. It is not only extremely expensive to build an indoor
facility, but it is also costly to maintain. In addition, there
has been a lot of study recently regarding the danger the use of
indoor facilities can lead to, i.e., lead poisoning. It is felt
the vapors in a regularly used indoor facility can be a very
dangerous situation.
22
Commissioner Scurlock asked whether the City of Vero Beach
might not have some interest in cooperating with us in funding
something new if the City is going to have to shut down its
range.
Commissioner Bird noted that situation has really only come
to a head in the last week or so, and Major Raymond advised that
he contacted David Luke, whom they have worked quite closely with
on using that range, and all he knew is that it seems there was
some question raised about whether their backstop was high
enough. Major Raymond pointed out that actually the range is
leased to the Police Benevolent Association, which is a private
bargaining agency, and they control and run the range rather than
the City of Vero Beach.
Commissioner Scurlock did not believe that private entity
would have the funds the City does, and now that it has gotten to
a critical point, he felt City Manager Little might feel a bit
differently about having a range the City does control.
Commissioner Bird noted that in regard to the ultimate loca-
tion of a range, the Committee always has felt the best place for
safety, least interference with future development, etc., would
be somewhere out in the marsh area or adjacent to the 60,000
acres St. John's has purchased. Unfortunately, when you get out
in that area, it is either in existing grove or it gets pretty
wet since St. John's has purchased primarily wetland areas. We
haven't been able to acquire any private lands out there because
the owners are not anxious to sell. Commissioner Bird did feel
that the range can be designed to be operated in a safe manner,
but he believed the noise factor is the biggest objection.
Commissioner Scurlock asked if anyone has looked into the
possibility of utilizing the closure of our Landfill. He
believed other communities have developed their old landfills
into parks, golf courses, etc.
Utilities Director Terry Pinto noted this was brought up
several years ago. Unfortunately the timing is never right.

When the second cell is near completion, he felt a perfect site
for the firing range would be between the two cells, but that is
6 years down the road. He did not know what the restrictions are
for the state institution next door where they have the firing
range, but noted that we have to maintain almost an 150' buffer
between the Landfill and the state property. We will never
utilize that buffer for anything to do with the Landfill, and if
we could get the use of some of that state property and utilize
our buffer between the two properties for a firing range,
possibly that could be workable.
Chairman Wheeler felt that would be an ideal location.
Commissioner Scurlock noted that one problem is that people
would be coming and going into the new cell.
In the ensuing discussion, Director Pinto believed there
could be separate access into the buffer area, and Commissioner
Scurlock noted the existing range is on the northwest corner of
the Correctional Institute. He believed there is a significant
area between that range and our existing landfill cell because we
have the borrow pit in addition to the 150' buffer.
Commissioner Bird asked the opinion of Public Works Director
Davis about using that location.
Director Davis advised that on most fire ranges, it is
preferred that you shoot from south to north. He believed there
is going to be quite a bit of activity from the people using the
Landfill plus he had some concern about the possibility of
puncturing the liner used to cap the first cell.
Major Raymond informed the Board that the potential for a
round getting out is minimal. In any range there is always the
possibility of a round going over the top, but to put a shell
roof up would cost half a million. Also, in the type of training
the Sheriff's Department is doing, they are dealing with profes-
sionals and have professional instructors. In addition, they
have now developed different stances that make it even less
likely a round could go astray. In any event, he noted that it
24
would be no problem to extend the berm height very inexpensively
by the use of staggered telephone poles and interlaced tires.
Commissioner Bird asked if it would be possible to shoot in
a south to north configuration at the Landfill site location, and
Commissioner Scurlock confirmed that it would be south to north
and the cell would make a tremendous backdrop for the range.
Commissioner Scurlock suggested a Motion to authorize the
Committee to take a look at the Landfill site just discussed, but
Commissioner Bird asked that the Board just table this matter for
a week and give Major Raymond and him a chance to look at the
site and explore the possibilities.
MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Eggert to table the
matter of the location of the firing range for a week
to give him and Major Raymond the opportunity to
explore a possible site at the Landfill.
The Chairman noted that there are some present who have
objections to the location of the range and asked if anyone
wished to be heard.
Bill Graves, 5680 4th St., expressed his strong opposition
to the proposal to locate the firing range at 4th Street and 74th
Avenue because of the noise it would generate. He believed if it
could be located between the Correctional Institution and the
Landfill, that would be a very good spot because you already have
the noise from the existing range. He also believed that he knew
of someone with land in that area who might be interested in
selling it to be used as a firing range. Mr. Graves continued
to note his objections to the noise of a firing range, pointing
out that people move to the country to have peace and quiet and
apparently this range will be used practically alt days of the
week as well as some nights. Mr. Graves urged that the Board
find a permanent spot rather than something temporary and advised
APR 41989
25
BOOK 70 FACE 509
qp 41989
BOOK /6 F$$GE 510
that he would be glad to assist the Committee locate the property
he is talking about.
C. W. Gaidry, 7805 4th Street, informed the Board that his
property is just across the road from the location proposed for
the firing range. He advised that he has owned that property for
17 years and operated it as a cattle ranch. He would find having
the firing range in his vicinity objectionable for many reasons
beside the obvious one of the noise factor. Trying to load
cattle and having firing in the area would not only be difficult,
but also dangerous. In addition, the cattle wouldn't graze in
that area because of the firing. Mr. Gaidry also did not feel
that the proposed range should be placed right in a rapidly
growing area. He was certainly not against the Sheriff having a
firing range, and, in fact, agreed they should have one that
could be developed so they can train the public, but he felt
there must be a location that would be suitable somewhere west of
1-95. He also believed the stump dump has the potential to be
sold and used for other purposes.
Sam McCall, former City of Vero Beach Police Chief and long
time resident of 7575 1st St. SW, came before the Board. He
noted that when he first moved out there 14 years ago, it was
really out in the country. Although, that is no longer true,
they still have a good deal of wildlife out there (sand cranes,
ducks, fox, deer) and that wildlife will not stay if you have a
range nearby. Mr. McCall's concern was noise. He noted that he
can sit in his house and hear them shooting at the Correctional
range which is two miles away to the north, and he also can hear
the loud speaker at Ocean Spray, which is one mile away to the
south. The range proposed at 74th Avenue and 4th Street would be
only 1/2 a mile away to the north, and he did not want to have a
shooting range to the north and also to the south of his home.
As to the comment that the City Police range is too
dangerous to use, Mr. McCall felt if it is too dangerous for
other agencies, it is too dangerous for the Police Department
26
also. He believed that the County would be wise to sit down with
Chief Gabbard and City Manager Little and see what the problem
is. He believed the City and County could work together and
solve the problem for a lot Tess than $70,000. Mr. McCall felt
there are many alternatives that can be looked into. He stressed
that he is 100% for the Sheriff's Department having a range,
which he felt is very much needed and long overdue.
COMMISSIONER SCURLOCK AGREED TO SECOND the Motion to
table for a week.
THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. It was voted
on and carried unanimously.

BACKGROUND:
The Department of Utility Services decommissioned the Heron Cay
Wastewater Treatment Plant several years ago and filled in the
percolation ponds. The demolition of the Wastewater Treatment Plant
has been satisfactorily completed. The Department is in receipt of
the development plans for this site and it is now necessary to lower
and reposition a short segment of the 4" and 8" force mains which
are currently exposed due to land elevation changes. The Department
of Public Works is assisting by providing a survey of the site
where the force main will be placed. The owner/developer has agreed
to grant a 15' easement to the County for the force main location
and the lift station location. The two contractors on the site have
submitted proposals to the County for the work necessary.
ANALYSIS:
Belvedere Construction has submitted a quote of $5,650.00 and A & R
Construction has submitted a price of $5,700.00 for the relocation
work. Both firms have not submitted mobilization costs because they
are on-site generating lower quotes.

' This letter is in reference to Senate Bill 94, House Bill 322,
which essentially requires four hours of substance abuse edu-
cation and safety education for drivers license applicants
who have never been licensed in any jurisdiction. The target
population is the younger driver, however, the education would
positively effect any aged driver.
From a treatment and education perspective, I have been involved
with the DUI Program for over 15 years. At the conclusion of
DUI classes, the students are asked to evaluate the program and
give suggestions regarding how we might improve. Each class
of students has a large per cent who write that they wish they
had been provided the information at an earlier age. They
recommend offering the education in high school or suggest
having alcohol/drug ed as a pre -requisite to licensing.
28
Mr. Wheeler, I would be most appreciative if you would place
this subject on the agenda for the next•Commission meeting.
A resolution passed by the Indian River County Commission
'would be a strong show of local support to our legislators.
I am available to answer any questions or be of any assistance
to you in accomplishing this endeavor. This legislation is one
that will not cost the tax payer any additional burden and will
unquestionably have a positive impact on our young people. If
just one young life is saved, it has proved its merit.
I have 'attached a copy of Senate Bill 94 for your information.
The bill was slightly revised in Committee. House Bill 322
provides that individuals who have completed a driver improve-
ment course will not have to take this four hour course.
Thank you for your consideration of this action.
Sincerely,

Program Director
Commissioner Eggert discussed the difference between the
Senate and House Bill, noting that House Bill 322 allows people
who have taken Driver's Training Education to be exempted from
taking this course even though they do not receive any drug
training in the Driver's Education Course. She personally was in
favor of supporting the Senate Bill and requesting that the House
Bill be made similar to the Senate Bill so that everyone would
have drug training prior to driving.
Commissioner Scurlock raised a question as to the cost that
would be associated with such a program.
Chairman Wheeler agreed with the program but had a problem
with someone in his 60's retiring in Florida and then having to
go through a drug education program to get his Florida license.
Discussion ensued regarding the definition of "first time
driver" and how this is set out in the Senate Bill and in the
House Bill. Commissioner Eggert believed we should make it clear
that we support this program for a young first time driver as
opposed to older people coming in from out of state.
Assistant County Attorney Collins quoted the following
language set out in the Senate Bill: "The Department may not
issue a license to a person who has never been issued a driver's
license in any jurisdiction."

Commissioner Scurlock stressed that there is a Driver's
Education Course that is already established and taught in the
schools, but Commissioner Eggert pointed out that program does
not deal with alcohol and substance abuse.
ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Com-
missioner Bird, Commissioner Scurlock voting in

RESOLUTION NO. 89 - 34
"A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNTY COMMISSION OF
INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA, SUPPORTING
SENATE BILL 94, WHICH WOULD REQUIRE SUBSTANCE
ABUSE EDUCATION PROGRAM FOR FIRST-TIME
DRIVERS."
WHEREAS, Alcoholism is a chronic, progressive and
potentially fatal disease and is one of the most serious
public health problems in the United States today; and
WHEREAS, Alcohol abuse accounts for approximately
98,000 deaths annually, many of these deaths are from
alcohol-related motor vehicle accidents; and
WHEREAS, Drug abuse is a growing problem which has
moved into mainstream America, taking root in the machine
that drives our country; and
WHEREAS, the problem of substance abuse has become much
more complex and the economic consequences of the problem
are staggering; and
WHEREAS, the purpose of a DUI School is to provide
students with salient information and data pertaining to
alcohol and substance abuse and its effect onindividuals;
and
WHEREAS, in a DUI course, emphasis is given to the
relationship of the use of alcohol and driving while under
the influence of alcohol and/or other substances, and it is
hoped the educational experience will be informative and
enable each student to reach the conclusion that they will
never drive while under the influence of alcohol and/or
drugs;
