<br /> <br />9.A.4. PUBLIC HEARING – ORDINANCE 2005-014 PROVIDING <br />ACCESS FOR MOSQUITO CONTROL DISTRICT <br />TREATMENT OF PRIVATE WATER RETENTION PONDS <br />AND LAKES (LEGISLATIVE) <br />PROOF OF PUBLICATION OF ADVERTISEMENT FOR HEARING IS ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF THE <br />CLERK TO THE BOARD <br /> <br />Assistant County Attorney William K. DeBraal advised that the proposed ordinance <br />amends two chapters of the Indian River County code; it gives access to the Mosquito Control <br />District to treat existing impoundments and mosquito controlled areas, and it would allow the <br />Mosquito Control District to go in and treat fresh water ponds in case of emergency outbreaks. <br /> <br />Discussion ensued and it was determined in the past when a subdivision was being <br />platted, access to a mosquito control impoundment was too narrow for the mosquito control <br />vehicles to get through. <br /> <br />Doug Carlson <br />Director of the Mosquito Control District stated there have been a <br />few instances when there has been a hesitation by the developer to give the Mosquito Control <br />District the access needed, and this ordinance would just help formalize that for the future. <br /> <br />The Chairman opened the public hearing. <br /> <br />Bob Johnson <br />, Coral Winds Subdivision, asked if this would alleviate the <br />Homeowners Association’s (HOA) responsibility to maintain their lakes and he inquired on the <br />cost from Mosquito Control’s standpoint. <br /> <br />April 19, 2005 13 <br /> <br /> <br />
