Aon. Douglas Baker, Clerk
Board of County Commissioners of
Indian River County
Vero Beach, Florida.
Dear "Doug":
In one sense I am very happy to be relieved of the responsibility of membership of
" the Board of County Commissioners, yet this feeling of relief is tinged with a very deep and
sincere regret because it means'the termination of a greatly prized association with the mmem-
ber6 of the Board and the Various officials connected with the work of the Board.
I am not the type of individual who holds the illusion that he cannot be replaced
and in fact I am confident that my successor will be of more value to the Board than I would
be if I continued to serve. I have been very closely connected with my successor, Mr. Barkos-
kie for many years and I can well say that I know of no more sincere and able -man in the
County for the position of County Commissioner*` I feel sure that my opinion of Mr. Barkoskie 't=
is also the opinion of the members of the Board and the citizens of the County generally.
In the approximate period of five years which I have served on the Board, I have
come to have a very high regard and in fact a feeling of personal affection for all members
of the Board whom I have served with during this time and the officials and appointees of the
Board with whom I have worked. I have greatly appreciated the cooperation all of you have
j given me in the performance of my own official duties and it has°been a pleasure to work with
men who have so unsparingly given of their time and their best efforts for the interest of
the County.
In nest referring to the work of this Board during the past five year*, I do so with':
the thought that my part in the successful conduct of the County's business has been small but
I have a feeling of.pride.in having been a member of the Board during the past five years and
by reason of the accomplishments of the Board during that period. Five years ago, due to ad-
verse circumstances which had continued over a period of years and whioh.were beyond the oon-
trol of any official or official group, we found general conditions of the County gather un-
satisfactory. These conditions were not peculiar to Indian River County alone but were faced
by counties and public bodies generally throughout the state. In the past five years the
finances of the County have been placed on a stable basis. Outstanding .U:ndebtedness of the
County has been placed in such condition that the County is entirely current with its obliga- ,
tions and there should be no reason in the future for this condition to change. For a num-
ber of years the County has met its current operating accounts promptly and has been in a
position where it could.take advantage of all cash discounts. All phases of County govern-
ment have been operated, I believe, efficiently and in such a manner that all requirements
have been fully met. In addition to these accomplishments, the tax levies of the County have
been reduced to the extent that the average owner of property situated within the County is
paying quite a little less in annual taxes than was required to be paid upon the same property°
five years ago. The road and bridge system of the County has been satisfactorily, maintained
and in fact more work has been done than ever before but actually, at less expense. I could
point out accomplishments in every phase of the County operation but you gentlemen are as
familiar with these facts as I. 1 know that you gentlemem who have served on the Board of

i' County Commissioners -during this period have been primarily responsible for these results and
I point them out to you as evidence of the very definite basis of the congratulations which I
•
extend to you apon the efforts of your success.
I will greatly appreciate your calling this communication to the attention of the
members of the Board and also to the attention of all of the officials and employees of this ;i
Board and of all of the County officials whose work is in connection and cooperation with their
Board. I feel that these various officials and employees have each served well is their var-
ious capacities and their cooperation has been of great value to the Board in the suooesslul
conduct of its duties.
In conclusion, I wish to that I trust that
say this severance of my. official relat-
ionship with the Board does not mean a severance of the fine friendship -which I have for the
individual members of the Board, for my successor Mr. Barkoskie, and for the various officials
and employees connected with the Board. Certainly itis my desire to continue these friend-
ships which I so highly prize and knowing all of these individuals as I do I am very confident'
that the personal relationships tretween us all will continue in the future. If there is any-!,
thing that I can do at any time to assist the Board in its official capacity or to gender '!
any service to any individual, either Board member, official, or employee, I shall consider
it an honor to be advised, and thereby permitted to render any such service to the full ex-
tent of my ability.
IIS
With every assurance of the future success of the Board and with my personal good
wishes and highest regards to each member of the Board and to each official and employee of i�
the County, I am,
