as part of staffing the fair, the Firefighter Fair Chairman was permitted to assign up to seventy (70) full

Whereas, since the Indian River County Fair Association, Inc. and Vero Beach Firefighters Association,

Chairman; and

not need seventy standby arrangements;

classification (example; LT. for Lt.), an employee of equal classification who has equal or higher

status (example; ROG Lt. working for Lt.), shall be permitted to work the standby arrangement. The
