E
WHEREAS, The Indian River County Council on Aging, Inc.
has been grouped with St. Lucie, martin, Okeechobee and f
Palm Beach counties in Region 10A since its inception on i
® July 1, 1974, and
WHEREAS, it is understood that the Florida Board of
I
Administration is planning to transfer said Council on Aging
to Region 6 as of January 1, 1975, there to be grouped with
Lake, Volusia, Seminole, Orange, Brevard and Osceola
counties, and
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Indian River
County Council on Aging, Inc. has informed the Board of
County Commissioners of Indian River County that, after
most careful consideration of this proposal, it appears
that such a move would be detrimental to the efficient op -
oration of the Indian River County Council on Aging, Inc.
and therefore would not be in the best interests of the
senior citizens of Indian River County, for the following
reasons:
(1.) All persons now involved in the present operation
have become sufficiently well acquainted to continue
to work in close co-operation without interruption
at this critical stage in their efforts to implement
the objectives of the organization.
(2.) It appears obvious that the population, environ-
ment and social problems of Indian River County,
from the standpoint of its older inhabitants, are
more closely aligned with those of the counties in
Region 10A than with those in Region 6.
(3.) Geographically, it is much more economical and
efficientih terms of travel, communications, con-
venience and general expenses for the personnel of
the Indian River County Council to operate fifteen
miles from its Regional Headquarters than from a
f
distance of one hundred miles or more; and
