Director Burke recalled the Board's direction from the July 12, <br /> 2016 Board of County Commission meeting, and outlined the <br /> key components, criteria, and options to mitigate/donate <br /> Equivalent Residential Units (ERU's) or impact fees for water to <br /> the Pinson Subdivision residents based on income qualifications. <br /> He requested the Board's authorization to work with the County <br /> Attorney's office to develop a draft modification to Indian River <br /> County Code 201.09 (Impact Fees). <br /> Discussion ensued on how to lessen the burden for low-income <br /> people in the County, ERU policies, long-term issues that will <br /> need to be addressed, legitimate donations, and the <br /> consideration that the Utility Services Department would <br /> monitor/control the program. <br /> Attorney Reingold voiced concerns over how the not-for-profit <br /> organizations would be monitored. <br /> (Clerk's Note: At 2:17 p.m. Attorney Reingold exited the meeting <br /> and Deputy County Attorney William DeBraal joined the meeting.) <br /> Commissioner O'Bryan wanted to hold off on any action, and <br /> allow staff to conduct further research before bringing this item <br /> back to the Board. <br /> Administrator Brown voiced concerns over the impact to the <br /> Utility Services Department, should it expand into something <br /> larger. <br /> Chairman Solari wanted staff to review this and try to get an <br /> understanding of the problem, and return to the Board at a <br /> future meeting with a draft modification to Section 201.09 of the <br /> County Code, in order to establish a mechanism by which the <br /> County may accept donations of reserve ERU's to be <br /> transferred to financially disadvantaged communities. <br /> A CONSENSUS was reached to table this item for further <br /> review by staff and to bring it back to the Board for discussion. <br /> (Clerk's Note: Commissioner Zorc exited the meeting at 2:48 <br /> p.m.) <br /> 13.
