Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final December 5, 2017 <br />Commissioner Zorc provided an update on a project in which Greenfield <br />Resources, a Michigan-based company, conducted testing of the water in the <br />Main Relief Canal in an attempt to find a solution to treat the Indian River <br />Lagoon. He compared the results of the data collected by Greenfield with the <br />results collected by Indian River County and because of inconclusive results, <br />extended an invitation for Greenfield Resources, at their own expense, to return <br />to Indian River County to conduct additional testing. <br />The Board expressed their opinions about the project, and though they felt the <br />results were not favorable, supported an invitation to Greenfield Resources to <br />return to Indian River County to conduct additional testing, at their own <br />expense, as long as the invitation included the parameters necessary for the <br />project to move forward. <br />No Action Taken or Required <br />14.E.2. 17-1256 Discussion and Action Request - Bethel Creek Concept Pilot Project <br />Recommended Action: Discussion and Action Request <br />Attachments: Commissioner's Memorandum <br />Bethel Creek Slides <br />Commissioner Zorc spoke about the research and discussions that he has had <br />regarding the Bethel Creek concept pilot project for a 1 -year temporary pump <br />connection from the Atlantic Ocean to Bethel Creek and Indian River Lagoon, <br />and requested to broaden the discussions with additional interested parties to <br />determine the feasibility of the project. <br />During lengthy discussion, the Board expressed their opinions and concerns <br />about the concept pilot project, and felt that one (1) year would not be enough <br />time to gather pertinent information. The Board communicated that they would <br />allow further discussions to take place in an effort to refine the details of the <br />project, but discouraged placing additional burdens upon staff. <br />Mark Yanno and Brendan Burke, 516 Conn Way, agreed that water quality <br />should be top priority, and spoke in favor of continuing with ideas to help <br />Bethel Creek. <br />No Action Taken or Required <br />14.E.3. 17-1257 Discussion to add Juvenile Justice and the Civil Citation Program to the <br />Legislative Agenda <br />Recommended Action: Discussion <br />Indian River County Florida Page 18 <br />
