Commissioner Robert Graves, seconded by Commissioner McCullers and unanimously carried, the
following Resolution was adopted:
R E S O L U T I O N -- Wabasso to Winter Beach
State Road #5
That the Board of County Commissioners of Indian River County, Florida, recommend
to the State Road Department of Florida that the right of way for State Road 5 from Winter
I Beach to Wabasso follow the alignment as laid out and established on the County's aerial
photographs, that is, in general that it be approximately 430 feet centerline to centerline
East of the present right of way. Our reason for this request is first, the cost of obtaining
this right of way will be less; second, the road'on this alignment will leave valuable
on both sides of the road instead of only one side, and; third, it will permit the retaining
of the present State Road 5 as a local road from Wabasso to Vero Beach.
The Chairman read a letter received from Knight & Mathis requesting a franchise for
Garbage pickup in Indian River County. The secretary was asked to inform Knight & Mathis that
at this time the County has no authority to grant franchises.
Upon Motion made by Commissioner McCullers, seconded by Commissioner Hamilton and
unanimously carried, the County Attorney was asked to prepare a bill for presentation at the
'G
next session of the Legislature granting the County authority to -issue franchises on garbage,
public water systems, sewage disposal systems and gas distribution service.
The Chairman stated he had been approached by the Frank Vickers in the matter of
a sign which had been destroyed by the contractor working on State Road #5 between Sebastian
and Wabasso. Upon Motion made by Commissioner Hamilton, seconded by Commissioner McCullers
and unanimously carried, the Board grants $70.00 to Mr. and Mrs. Frank Vickers for said sign,
in consideration of their having conveyed without cost to the County, right of way required
from them.
There being no further business and upon motion made, seconded and carried, the
Board then adjourned.

and Bridge Superintendent; Charles Smith, Attorney and Katherine Morrison, Secretary. Our j
regular attorney, Sherman N. Smith, Jr. was absent.
The Chairman asked if there were any changes or additions to be made to the minutes
of February 4th and February 18th. It was noted in the next to the last paragraph of the minutes
of the meeting of February 18th, the name should be Frank Vickers instead of Jack Vickers.
There being no other corrections or additions and upon motion made by Commissioner Robert
Graves, seconded by Commissioner Hamilton and carried, the minutes were approved as corrected.'
The question of obtaining a service officer was brought before the Board and Mr.
C. T. Sheehan of the Veteran's Administration working out of Fort Pierce was recognized and
stated that he or a representative from hit office would be present for one-half day a week
or if need be, for a full day each week. Upon motion made by Commissioner Robert Graves,
seconded by Commissioner Hamilton and carried, it was decided to have a representative from
Ew
the Veteran's Administration for the one-half day a week on a trial basis for two months
93
beginning Tuesday afternoon, March 11, after which time if this arrangement has not worked k
out, the Commissioners will consider hiring a regular Service Officer. It was also noted
that this service of the Veteran's Administration would not cost the county anything.
Mr. Bill Payne of the Rod & Gun Club appeared before the Board with plans for work
which they would like to do at Blue Cypress Lake. The Committee consisting of D. B. McCullersi,
t
Jr., and Robert Graves, made their report recommending the plans as set out by the Rod & Gun
Club. Mr. Payne further stated that they wanted the County to widen the road into the camp
and place marl in the low spots, and that this was all they were asking the County to do.
Upon Motion made by Commissioner Robert Graves, seconded by Commissioner Hamilton and carried,)
the Board approved the plans of the Rod and Gun Club and instructed the County Engineer to
see what could'be done about the road and to haul what marl was necessary.
Dr. Miller, Director of the Indian River County Health Clinic appeared before the
Board and requested the hiring of a second sanitarian. He stated the work load was too much
for one man and that another was needed. After some discussion in the matter and upon Motion
made by Commissioner Robert Graves, seconded by Commissiiner McCullers and carried, it was
decided that a special meeting should be held on March 21st at 9:00 o'clock A. M. after an
investigation was made to see if there was a need for a second sanitarian. The Chairman then
appointed Commissioners Robert Graves, D. B. McCullers, Jr. and J. J. P. Hamilton as a comm-
ittee to look into this matter.
Guy Sullivan of the Vero Beach Fire Department appeared before the Board and stated
that it was his understanding that the Board of County Commissioners had appropriated about
$1500.00 for equipment for the Civil Defense organization and now that we had no active
organization he was wondering if this money could be used to buy a new Resusitator for the
fire department. He was informed that the $1500.00 had been appropriated in a prior year
and therefore there was no money in this year's budget. The Commissioners further informed
him that as the year wore further along they would see how much if anything we would have
toward buying a new resusitator. Mr. Sullivan stated a Resusitator would cost approximately

$650.00. The Commissioners further stated if they could not buy one this year they would
put this amount in next year's budget.
Forrest McCullars, our County Agent appeared before the Board and showed pictures
of our exhibit at the Tampa fair and also requested a raise.for his secretary. He was in-
formed that we were running short on our budget and would be unable in this budget to give
his secretary a raise but would take the matter up in making out the new budget.
Mr. Harold S. Winner appeared before the Board and stated that all of the property
owners abutting on the Indian River County line but lying in Brevard County over between the
Indian River and the Atlantic Ocean, south of the Inlet would like to become dart of Indian
River County. The Commissioners said they would take this matter under advisement.
Mr. Winner also stated the owners of property in this section and South of the
0
Brevard County line would like the presently routed A -1-A shifted several hundred feet to the
r
West htereby giving more land on either side of the highway. He further stated he would be
willing to obtain letters from these property owners assuring the Commissioners that said
right of way could be obtained for nothing if this road was shifted. The Commissioners told
Mr. Winner they would look into the matter and see 4hat could be worked out with the State
Road Department.
