Flescher <br />April 30, 2018 <br />APRI 0 2016 <br />Indian River County Environmental Control Office is requesting level funding of $7,033 from the Board of County <br />Commissioners to support the county office's function in protecting the health and environment of Indian River <br />County and its citizens. Although Indian River County Environmental Control Office is supported by the General <br />Fund, fines administered and collected through the office are directly deposited into the General Fund. <br />The Environmental Control Office continues to be challenged with the economic climate of the community and <br />unmaintained, abandoned and foreclosed properties. The hearing board resolves issues by taking into consideration <br />the financial and situational circumstances of the respondents allowing for lesser fines and/or purgeable fines with <br />compliance. Liens are placed on properties when fines go unpaid. <br />Through Chapter 85-427, Special Acts, Laws of Florida, Indian River County Environmental Control Hearing Board <br />may enforce state agency rules or county ordinances pertaining to environmental regulation and protection of the <br />public health, including but not limited to, Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), Department of Health <br />(DOH) and St. John's River Water Management District (SJRWMD). <br />Thank you for considering this budget request and recognizing the importance of the work accomplished by the <br />Environmental Control Office and Hearing Board and its role in increasing the quality of life today for Indian River <br />County's citizens. <br />Sincerely, <br />Cheryl L. Duni, R.S. <br />Indian River County Environmental Control Officer <br />cc: Miranda Hawker, Administrator, Florida Department of Health in Indian River County <br />1900 - 27th Street <br />Vero Beach, FL 32960 <br />Phone: (772) 79 5 1 <br />FAX: (772) 794-,T,, <br />
