SECRETARY'S
REPORT
Minutes
from the March 17, 1997 meeting were read. A motion by
Dick Holland with a second by Ray Przybyl to approve the
minutes carried.
CHAIRMAN'S
REPORT
Chairman
Buchholtz reported on lobster days and reported that
there were no problems.
He
reported that the County had extended the security guard
contract for an additional year with the hourly rate to
stay the same.
The
chair stated that there had been some laxity of security
personnel which required some personnel
replacement.
Speeding
on the island remains a problem and will ask for radar
surveillance
The
Chair went over the contract rates for security in answer
to a visitor's question. The current rate from Diamond
Security remains at $13.89 hourly, and remains lower than
the $17 bid by Morrel Security when it was last put out
to bid.. The 1999 contract will be rebid in late 1998
.
OLD
BUSINESS
There
was no old business.
NEW
BUSINESS
The
Chair provided information on Advisory Board coverage
during the year and the presence of members over the
summer. He recommended the Board advise the County
Commissioners that the position of Advisory Board
Vice-Chairman be created and Albert Appell be appointed
to the position. This was moved by Dick Adler and
seconded by Dick Holland. The motion carried. It was also
moved and seconded that Albert Appell be recommended for
reappointment to a three term to the Advisory Board as
his original appointment was to complete Charles
Casella's term.
Fred
Bucholtz thanked Bob Adams for his service on the
Security Advisory Board and asked that Bob Shearer be
nominated to fill the position for a new three year term.
This was moved by Ray Przybyl and seconded by Albert
Appell. The motion carried.
It
was moved by Dick Adler and seconded by Albert Appell
that Fred Bucholtz continue in the position of Chairman
and that he be recommended for reappointment by the
County Commission for a three year term as Chairman of
the Duck Key Security Advisory Board. The motion
carried.
Chairman
Bucholtz presented the Proposed Security Budget for 1998
together with the Contingency Budget. He explained that
the budget total should be increased to allow for
increased guard coverage during the hours of 7AM to 11 AM
Monday through Friday. He explained he wanted the
flexibility to increase the security hours should
vehicular and pedestrian traffic on the residential
islands increase as a result of the Hawk's Cay Village
Development.
Chair
Bucholtz answered a question about anticipated tax
receipts from a visitor. A long discussion ensued among
Advisory Board members and visitors with questions posed
and answered. Visitors expressed the opinion that the
District should not have to pay for increased resort
traffic. Fred Bucholtz stated that traffic will be
monitored and that hopefully hours won't have to be
increased, but that the Budget should allow for this
anticipated need.
It
was moved by Albert Appell with a second by Dick Holland
that the budget together with the contingency budget be
recommended for approval by the Monroe County Board of
Commissioners.
Chair
Bucholtz discussed putting forth a request that the
County Commission approve the release of contingency
money for a Duck Key Security District Public Safety
Office to be used as a station for security guards in
providing increased security and which would be located
on land leased from Hawk's Cay at the corner of Duck Key
Drive and Greenbriar Drive. Advisory Board members and
visitors discussed the value of this concept in length
and the Board decided that moneys should only be released
for the purpose of conducting feasibility study as to the
office's use, construction and cost .
A
motion was approved to adjourn the meeting.

Adler
