RESOLUTION NO. 71-30
WHEREAS, the Florida House Elections Committee has
favorably reported a bill out of committee relating to the acquisition
of voting machines and other voting equipment, providing that the
certain equipment be acquired by competitive bidding, providing
for the Department of State to establish certain uniform statewide
standards, and
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners of Indian
River County feel that this bill will be detrimental to the best interests
of the citizens of Indian River County, in that it might result in the
county being forced to purchase more than one type of voting equip-
ment, a situation that would require increased time and cost for the
preparation of ballots and confusion to the voters of this county, and
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners of Indian
River County wish to go on record as being opposed to this bill,
NOW, THERE FORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of
County Commissioners of Indian River County that said Board is
opposed to the passage of the legislation above proposed and seek the
cooperation of the Boards of County Commissioners of all of the
counties in the State of Florida and their respective delegations to
oppose this bill.
