            AUDITS

            CONTRACTS & AGREEMENTS/EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES

            Mr. Watkins stated we had two (2) contracts regarding the Emergency Medical Services Grant for the Southwest and Northwest Ambulance Districts. Discussion pointed out the original grant had been lowered so our matching participatory grants would be lowered also. These contracts were originally approved in the November 7, 1978, Minutes, (Book 28, Page 391), and are now being resubmitted as Amended Contracts reflecting a lower participatory figure on the part of the ambulance districts.

            On a motion by Commr. Carson, seconded by Commr.

            GRANTS

            Discussion was held regarding the status of Legal Aid Fees and the options available to the Board. This is a continuation of the discussion in Minute Book 28, Page 596. Mr. Ford pointed out the collection of the Legal Aid Fees was authorized with the adoption of a County Ordinance; therefore, the Board should either 1) repeal the existing Ordinance and thereby reduce the cost of filing a suit or 2) adopt an amending Ordinance transferring the collected monies to the Law Library. At this time, further discussion was tabled because of a scheduled Public Hearing.

ASSESSMENTS - CANAL DRIVE, SPRINGS BATH & YACHT CLUB, UNIT III

            Mr. Watkins stated the proper proof of publication was on hand and had appeared in the March 19, 26, and April 2 editions of the Leesburg/Commercial.

            Mr. Ford, County Attorney, stated there was a major problem with the funding of this project. The banks did not wish to participate in such a small project, along with the fact two property owners were unable to finance their share.

            Discussion further pointed out that the County Engineer felt the project should be done as a soil cement base rather than the conventional paving on which the quotation had been obtained. Mr. Andrew based his recommendation on the fact he felt, because of existing conditions such as large trees and well-maintained lawns to the edge of the road, a more absorbent road would be advisable.

            Messrs. Bob Scott and W.C. Baltzel were present to discuss and encourage the Board to approve the proposed road improvements in that their contractor's proposal expires April 12, 1979.

            Further discussion suggested the contractor be contacted regarding extending the acceptance date of his quotation, as well as the possibility of his financing the project which involved only 12 property owners, two of whom need financing totaling approximately 187.5 feet.

            On a motion by Commr Middleton, seconded by Commr. Burhans and carried unanimously, the Board approved the Canal Drive, Springs Bath & Yacht Club, Unit III, special assessment project, provided the owners are able to secure the necessary funding.

            GRANTS/ORDINANCES/LEGAL AID

            Discussion continued regarding the options available to the Board regarding legal aid fees. Mr. Ford presented two Ordinances for the Board's consideration: 1) repealing the existing Ordinance, which would discontinue the collection of the filing fees and 2) amending the existing Ordinance by transferring the imposed fees to the Lake County Law Library.

            On a motion by Commr. Middleton, seconded by Commr. Carson and carried, authorization was given for the advertising of the second Ordinance - the amending Ordinance - which would transfer said fees to the Law Library.

            Upon the vote being taken, Commrs. Deems, Carson, and Middleton voted "Yes"; Commrs. Burhans and Windram, "No."

            EMERGENCY SERVICES

            Mr. Ford stated he had been asked by Dr. Thomas Langley, emergency room doctor, "Who, in the event of a major disaster, would be in charge?" Discussion showed that the matter needed further investigation in that Dr. Langley had been told the County Health Officer was in charge; yet Mr. Ford stated he believed there exists a Governor's Executive Order holding the Commissioners in charge. Mr. Ford stated he had written for a copy of this Order so that he could review it. He felt, in effect, the County Commissioners were in charge and there should be a definitive answer from the Board as to who would be in charge should the time arrive.

            On a motion by Commr. Middleton, seconded by Commr. Carson and carried unanimously, the County Attorney was authorized to immediately further investigate the lines of authority in time of disaster.

            RECESS & REASSEMBLY

            At this time Mr. Jerry Lockett, representing Charles Seligman of Lakewood Acres, appeared before the Board to present a documented outline of Mr. Seligman's actions and intent which have led him to requesting the Board "grandfather in" his subdivision.

            At this time Mr. Lockett presented the following notarized affidavits:

4.         Statement from Charles Seligman stating he acted as real estate broker in sale of said land to Lakewood Acres of Orlando, LTD, with understanding the land had been platted for development as five-acre tracts with a clay road down the middle.

5.         Statement from Arthur Seligman, General Partner in Lakewood Acres of Orlando, LTD, stating he purchased said land with intention of developing in five-acre lots with a clay road down the middle as indicated on Plat of Survey and plat document. Further statement he would not have purchased had he known of requirement to pave the road in question prior to any development of said property.

            Discussion continued. At this time Mr. Ford, County Attorney, stated he had mixed feelings regarding either approval or denial. It was his feeling there were very strong points to be considered on both sides.

            Commr. Burhans moved that Lakewood Acres be "grandfathered in".

            This motion died for lack of a second. No further motions were offered and discussion ended.

            BONDS - MOBILE HOME

            Discussion was held regarding the request of Greta Roth, Clear Lake Area, District #4, to live in a mobile home on the same piece of property on which she would construct her conventional dwelling.
