recess and reassembly

At 4:10 P.M. the Chairman recessed the Board of County Commissioners meeting to enable the Board to go into an Executive Session. The Board reconvened at 5:00 P.M.

checks received

Mr. Ford stated that earlier in the day the Board had referred to him two checks which the Board has been requested to endorse over to Mrs. Troy Hall because the insurance check was made out to the County because it was connected with the County Group Plan. He stated that he has reviewed the matter and that it is legal for the Board to endorse these checks over to Mrs. Troy Hall who is the proper recipient of these funds.

On a motion by Commr. Carson, seconded by Commr. Deems and carried unanimously, the Board approved for the two checks received by the County from the Aetna Insurance Company to be endorsed over to Mrs. Troy Hall for her participation in the Deferred Income Plan.

contracts and agreements

Mr. Ford presented to the Board the contract from the Florida Telephone Company for the SL-1 phone system which the Board approved to be installed in the new Courthouse. He stated that in reviewing the contract he would suggest several changes be made. Discussion was held. On a motion by Commr. Deems, seconded by Commr. Hoskinson and carried, the Board approved the contract for the phone system in the new Courthouse as amended by the County Attorney. Commr. Carson abstained from the discussion and vote because he is a member on the Board of Directors of the Florida Telephone Corporation.

There being no further business to be brought before the Board, the meeting was adjourned at 5:30 p.m.
