0 bm 15 pt-(! 968 ® Government Center: Ms. Cynthia woody, vice-Chairperson Thelma Cox of the Lee County Mayors Committee, Ms. Teresa Wilson, Ms. Nancy Ratz and Rev. R.A. Bradley. Social Services Director Diane Lamb and the Lee County Social Services Board are asking the Board to not renew the contract with Vocational Rehabilitation for FY 1995-1996 due to needing the space this organization currently uses on the fourth floor. After much discussion it was decided to consider this matter in the FY 1995-1996 budget. No action was taken on the matter. The Board heard concerns from Jim Newman, Director of the Lee County Chapter of the American Red Cross, concerning space needs for his agency. He showed the Board a slide presentation of his current office and supply areas, which are much too small, with no classroom space and very little storage space. After some discussion Commissioner Moretz moved to authorize the County Manager to draft a policy on the use of County owned space by non-profit organizations and return it to the Board for consideration. Commissioner Reives seconded the motion, and upon a vote, the results were as follows: Aye: Cox, Dossenbach, Garner, Moretz, Reives, Stafford and Wicker Nay: None The Chairman ruled the motion had been adopted unanimously.
