Discussion followed as the Board and Director Mehta talked about using ads on TV to <br />educate the public about recycling, as is being done in Palm Beach County. <br />Commissioner Wheeler suggested that the County partner in advertising with Palm Beach <br />County. <br />Fred Mensing likewise felt that the SWDD districts of neighboring communities could <br />look into cooperative advertising. <br />Director Mehta thereafter responded to Board questions about the decline in the volume <br />of newspaper recycling, and the possibility of recycling fluorescent compact bulbs at future <br />electronic recycling events. <br />13. COUNTY ATTORNEY MATTERS <br />13.A. NEW LAWSUITS FILED AGAINST INDIAN RIVER COUNTY <br />County Attorney Alan S. Polackwich, Sr., recapping his memorandum of November 1, <br />2010, reported on two new lawsuits filed against the County by the following parties: (1) FVP <br />Miami Lakes LLC (as successor in interest to Lennar Homes); and (2) Fred and Rita Mensing. <br />He relayed that staff has filed a "Motion to Dismiss" the FVP Miami Lakes LLC case, which <br />pertains to the recovery of non-refundable impact fees paid by the original developer, Lennar <br />Homes, for the discontinued developments of Madeira Isles and Tripson Estates. He provided <br />background description and analysis on the Mensing case, which relates to the County's <br />acceptance through Resolution 2008-043, of an implied dedication of a 60 foot strip of land <br />depicted on the Fleming Grant Plat of 1888, and bordering individual properties owned by Fred <br />Mensing and C.N. Kirrie. He affirmed that staff was prepared to defend the case; however, he <br />felt the Resolution enacted by the Board was increasing the County's involvement in an ongoing <br />dispute between Mr. Mensing and Mr. C.W. Kirrie, and asked the Commissioners if they wished <br />to revisit the Resolution. <br />16 <br />November 9, 2010 <br />
