18. APPROVE THE VAB CHAIRMAN TO REVIEW AND AUTHORIZE PAYMENT <br />OF 2016-2017 VAB INVOICES ON BEHALF OF THE FULL BOARD <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Vice Chairman Davis, SECONDED by School Board <br />Member Searcy, to approve the VAB Chairman to review and authorize payment of <br />VAB invoices on behalf of the full Board. <br />Citizen Member Heckman asked if there was a dollar amount limit on the invoices that <br />the Chairman could sign and if so, would it need to come to the VAB for approval. A <br />discussion ensued on the VAB Budget and the Board asked if the VAB Clerk would <br />provide a copy of the budget, as well as a breakdown of the VAB expenses by use <br />categories at the next Organizational Meeting. <br />The Chairman CALLED THE OUESTION and the Board voted unanimously. <br />19. PUBLIC INPUT <br />There was no public input. <br />VAB Clerk Terri Collins -Lister advised the Board that the Trim Notices would be <br />mailed out on August 15, 2016, and September 9, 2016, was the final day for filing a <br />petition. Hearings would begin after October 6, 2016. <br />Chairman Zorc referred a question to Property Appraiser David Nolte and said that <br />in St. Lucie County, there was a significant movement on challenging the bee <br />designation on agriculture, as well as the bee designation agricultural exemption on <br />in -town commercial properties. He asked if Indian River County had experienced <br />any of those types of issues. <br />Property Appraiser Nolte replied in the affirmative that petitions had been filed <br />previously with the VAB for bee designation on agriculture property in Indian <br />River County. He explained that this designation could possibly destroy the <br />agricultural industry because every piece of property a bee flew over would be <br />classified as agriculture. A discussion followed on the petitions previously filed in <br />Indian River County for bee designation agricultural exemption on commercial <br />zone properties and zoning designations. <br />20.
