Comprehensive Plan Intergovernmental Coordination Element In December of 1995, the ICE technical committee completed its work and prepared a final report. Following the recommendation of the governor and DCA, the 1996 legislature accepted the report and enacted its provisions. Key provisions of the changes are: • Interlocal or other formal agreements between counties, municipalities, school boards, and service providers to address joint processes are required within one year after adopting a revised ICE which describes these processes. • All provisions enacted in 1993 which address the determination of significant impacts and the mitigation of extrajurisdictional impacts are deleted. • The ICE may provide for a dispute resolution process. • The ICE shall provide for recognition of campus master plans • All reference to the termination of the DRI review process is deleted. Since the 1996 Legislature approved the proposed new requirements consistent with the ICE technical committee report recommendations, the county must revise its intergovernmental coordination element consistent with the new requirements. Also, the revised element should contain a new objective and policies relating to new dredge spoil disposal sites consistent with the revised 9J-5, F.A.C. requirements and a new school board objective and policies consistent with section 163.3177(6)(a), F.S. requirements. The Intergovernmental Coordination Element is consistent with the state comprehensive plan and newly adopted strategic regional policy plan. Vision of the Future Workshop In October 1992, approximately 150 people convened for the first Indian River County "Visions for the Future" workshop. The workshop was organized as a result of efforts of a steering committee and was co-sponsored by Indian River Community College. The cost of the workshop was funded by the Indian River County Board of County Commissioners, City of Vero Beach, City of Sebastian, and the Town of Indian River Shores. The Vision workshop's findings and recommendations are summarized in the January 1993 Vision workshop report. The Vision workshop conclusions were generally positive regarding the quality of the government in the county. Participants noted the existence of good government with qualified officials who maintain an open process, of good infrastructure planning with adequate capacity, and of good building codes. At the same time, concerns were expressed about needed improvements. These issues were grouped in the following categories. Community Development Department Indian River County 49
