Release of Lien--Herbert Sturm
The purpose of this memorandum is to inform you that the Code Enforcement Board voted
unanimously last week to release the lien created against property owned by Mr. Herbert Strum and
located at 549 Saunders Street, Sebastian, FL, by an Order of the Code Enforcement Board dated
July 21, 1992. The Board cited the disproportionate relationship between the fine and the violation
and the ambiguity of the Order. A release of lien will be filed in the Indian River County Clerk's
Office.

Re: Building Previously Utilized as Chamber Offices
Dear Mr. Moore:
In 1978, the City of Sebastian ("City") conveyed a parcel of land to the Sebastian River
Area Chamber of Commerce ("Chamber"), in order that the Chamber could erect a building
("Chamber Building") "for Chamber purposes". The deed provides that "..;if said property
and improvements thereon are no longer used for Chamber of Commerce purposes...then
said real property and improvements thereon shall revert to the City..." There have been
reports that, since the Chamber relocated to the so-called Utilities Building previously
owned by the City, the Chamber Building has been used for other than Chamber
purposes.
The purpose of this letter is to request that the Chamber provide the City with a written
report on the status of the Chamber Building, including its compliance with the agreement
between the City and the Chamber of February 14, 1978, a copy of which is enclosed
herewith. Your prompt attention to this request will be appreciated.
Sincerely,
Valerie Settles

The State 9-1-1 plan establishes the Board of County Commissioners
in each county as the responsible fiscal agent. Therefore,
ultimate responsibility and authority for 9-1-1 within a-county
rests with these bodies. The Board of County Commissioners in
many counties have designated a knowledgeable individual to act as
9-1-1 coordinator. This individual is responsible for the
coordination of all agencies that participate in the county 9-1-1
program on behalf of the Board of County Commissioners. The
Coordinator should be positioned at a level in the county
organization to carryout the directives of the Board of County
Co~missioners, to accomplish the objectives of the county 9-1-1
system plan, to meet or exceed the technical and operational
standards for 9-1-1 systems and to keep the Board advised of the
status of the 9-1-1 program in the county. It is recommended that
the 9-1-1 coordinator report to the county manager or assistant
county manager position. This level is consistent with the
coordination requirements of this individual to carry out the
supervisory activities necessary to the functioning of the county
9-1-1 system.
