13. COMMISSIONERS ITEMS <br />A. COMMISSIONER GARY C. WHEELER, CHAIRMAN - <br />NONE <br />B. COMMISSIONER SANDRA L. BOWDEN, VICE <br />CHAIRMAN - NONE <br />C. COMMISSIONER WESLEY S. DAVIS <br />1. PERMISSION TO ADVERTISE FOR PUBLIC HEARING: AN <br />ORDINANCE AMENDING INDIAN RIVER CODE CHAPTER 973 <br />NUISANCE ABATEMENT <br />Commissioner Davis explained that it was Code Violation, which included <br />construction debris and high grass that brought about this request. He consulted with the County <br />Attorney's office to review the process, which was deemed "nuisance abatement". <br />Community Development Bob Keating explained the two alternative ways provided <br />by our LDR Chapter 973 to deal with public nuisances. Staff felt that if there was no legal reason <br />we cannot do it, we should eliminate the handcuffing we have in the ordinance and allow ourselves <br />the flexibility to use either process. <br />Chairman Wheeler agreed with Commissioner Davis that some of these things need <br />be taken care of in a quicker manner, faster than at the pace of government. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Davis, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner O'Bryan, to "not handcuff <br />ourselves in the ordinance so we could have alternatives." <br />September 11, 2007 31 <br />
