The Board of County Commissioners of Indian River County,
40 Florida, resolves:
1. This is the last meeting of the Board of County Commissioners
o�
at which ROBERT W. GRAVES will serve as a member of this Board. He
® retires on January 7, 1969. Mr. Graves became a member of this Board on 1
January 8, 1957. He served as Chairman from January 6, 1959, to July 1,
1968. His leadership as Chairman for a period of nine years has been out-
. i
standing. He has presided in a firm and businesslike manner to move the
i
many matters coming before this Board in an efficient way but none the less
i
giving all a fair and equal chance to be heard. This Board recognizes the fact
that the Chairman of this Board not only has the responsibility of presiding at
the public meetings but he ordinarily represents this Board in all other public
functions, including such tedius tasks as signing all County warrants and
supervising the many day to day details of this County government. He is
compensated not by payment of an adequate salary but rather through the
satisfaction that comes to every good citizen in performing an important
public service. Upon his retirement, this Board hereby makes this service a
hatter of public record and each member personally and this Board upon
behalf of the public does herewith salute Robert W. Graves on his retirement
from this Board. He leaves this Board with an outstanding record of public
service for which this Board expresses its thanks and sincere appreciation.
