F. Public Works <br />None <br />G. Utilities Services <br />2:20 1. Indian River Drive — Water Assessment Project Update <br />p.m. (memorandum dated September 25 2014) 200-202 <br />Director of Utility Services Vincent Burke reported that <br />pursuant to the Board's direction on September 23, <br />2014, staff has completed the engineering design for the <br />Indian River Drive Water Assessment Project (the <br />Project). He noted that less than two-thirds (2/3) of <br />the residents had voted in favor of the Project. Director <br />Burke provided two options for the Board's <br />consideration: (1) direct staff to secure the Florida <br />Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) <br />permit, which is valid for five years, and see if <br />additional votes come in; or (2) direct staff to take no <br />action at this time. <br />Director Burke responded to the Board's questions and <br />comments about the Project. <br />Vice Chairman Davis wanted to bring this matter to a <br />Public Hearing to see if an additional vote can move the <br />Project forward. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Vice Chairman Davis, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Zorc, to hold a Public <br />Hearing on Scenario No. 2 of the Indian River Drive <br />Water Assessment Project (see page 202 of the agenda <br />packet), to see if more support for the Project is <br />garnered, which would bring the votes up to the <br />required two-thirds majority to proceed. <br />Alex Jernigan, Sebastian, voiced support for the Public <br />Hearing. <br />Chairman O'Bryan confirmed with Director Burke that <br />he would apply for the FDEP Permit for Scenario No. 1 <br />of the Project design (outlined on page 202 of the <br />agenda package). He noted that if the Board decides to <br />go with Scenario 2 at the Public Hearing, the FDEP <br />Permit could be adjusted accordingly. <br />MOTION WAS AMENDED by Vice Chairman Davis, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Zorc, to direct staff to <br />apply for the Florida Department of Environmental <br />Board of County Commission Minutes Page 16 <br />October 7, 2014 <br />
