F,~u 12 96E After discussion, 9mmissioner Wicker moved to approve the signage at Kiwanis Park subject to review upon presentation to the Board. Commissioner Matthews seconded the motion and upon a vote the results were as follows: Aye: Matthews, Stafford, Wicker and Cox Nay: None The Chairman ruled the motion carried unanimously. The Chairman then reported that the local television station has offered a price on purchasing video tapes of the Commissioners meetings. The price quoted was $40.00 per month for 2 meetings. Commissioner Stafford asked the County Manager to look into this and relay his opinion to the Board. Chairman Cox then referred to a memo from the County Manager dated October 25th regarding information on inmate population which the Manager received from Sheriff Bryant. This information reaffirms that we have waited as long as we can to get back into deliberation on the jail and courthouse. He referred to an article, in the Sanford Hearld, that stated some of the Commissioners have said we may take this item up next year. Chairman Cox stated he does not feel we have the luxury of putting this off that long. An election can not be held until 30 days after November 7th, but there is no reason we can't deliberate and talk about the jail and courthouse facilities. He advised this is not on the agenda, but feels it should be. Commissioner Matthews advised that if we do bring this up, there should be a five member board to discuss it and the Board should wait until Commissioner Dossenbach returns. Commissioner Stafford advised that he was one of the Commissioners that stated to the press that he favored discussing it after the first of the year and he still feels that way. Commissioner Wicker agreed with Commissioner Matthews that this is a subject that should be discussed with all five commissioners present. The Chairman advised the next item on the agenda was consideration of a request to sell and replace canoes at San-Lee Park. County Manager Cowan advised that the memo dated October 16, 1989 from Mr. McLaughlin, Parks and Recreation Director, explains the request.

Manager Cowan advised that the request for funds could be handled as a budget amendment and a separate item, if the Board so desires. Commissioner Wicker moved that the Board authorize the sale of the three canoes. Commissioner Stafford seconded the motion and upon a vote the results were as follows: 5
